Did the designers envision the system being served by 8car trains all the time ? If so that would explain the platform designs if not what is the explanation for the designs

They envisioned a system where trains stopped in the middle of the platform - this is how the system is designed. So the old 4-car trains would end where the 6-car trains that are stopped at the front now do. 6-car trains would end where the 7th car space is on the diagram.

But now that we're in manual mode for who knows how long, WMATA insists that all trains pull up.

I agree that signage is a good idea - maybe they can convince at least some people to move down the platform.
