[gotcha] Calculating pediatric medication doses purely by weight without capping at the maximum adult dose

Always cross-check weight-based pediatric doses against the absolute maximum adult dose and never exceed it.

Journey Context:
A simple weight \* dose\_per\_kg calculation is dangerous. If a 100kg 12-year-old needs a drug, the weight-based dose might be massive and toxic. Agents must enforce a hard ceiling at the adult max dose.
