# T03: Updated test_harness.py word-count/section-count logic for list[BodySection] v2 format and added per-page citation coverage reporting with 13 new tests passing

**Updated test_harness.py word-count/section-count logic for list[BodySection] v2 format and added per-page citation coverage reporting with 13 new tests passing**

## What Happened

Two locations in test_harness.py treated body_sections as a dict. Updated both to walk BodySection objects: per-page summary now counts words from section.content + subsection.content, reports H2/subsection counts separately, and logs citation coverage via validate_citations(). Metadata total_words uses the same structure on serialized dicts. Created test_harness_v2_format.py with 13 tests covering word counting, section counting, citation integration, and SynthesisResult v2 round-trip.

## Verification

Ran both test suites — 28 tests total, all passing: test_harness_v2_format.py (13 passed), test_citation_utils.py (15 passed).
