Raise output token cap; add one-time note about the rota-methodology fix

Browse source 
MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS was 600 and briefings were hitting it mid-sentence
(confirmed on a live generation — cut off mid-bullet). Raised to 900.

Also adds a time-boxed methodology note (expires 29/07/2026) so the
model doesn't flag the 25/07 base-cost-only rota fix as an unexplained
swing when it sees a prior insight's rota variance figures differ —
it was told to compare against recent insights explicitly, and without
this note it correctly but unhelpfully treated a deliberate correction
as an open question needing clarification.
