Giorgio Gilestro b8da418034 neural: grounding refinement + all five Layer-1.5 figures
Grounding refinement (18 reps): forward-KL is the operative neural
collapse metric, not H or tail-survival. The RNN's smoothing keeps
spurious tail modes alive, so tail_truth_mass_alive is flat/non-monotone
in g and H stays ~0.8 of H*; only forward-KL falls monotonically (dry
2.08 -> g=0.2: 0.75, paired t up to 3.3). The sharp g* << 1 is an
exact-operator feature carried by the histogram bridge (0.047); the
trained RNN confirms the SIGN and softens the sharpness (half the KL gap
closes by g~0.04, but full recovery needs g~0.19). Blueprint 3.5's
directional claim holds; the pre-registered 95%-of-H*/tail falsifier is
not met because those are the wrong metrics for a smoothing model.

Robustness: a fully-degenerate RNN can emit only invalid codewords, so
measure_distribution now returns a terminal-collapse sentinel (fixation
on the dominant mode) instead of crashing a long sweep. Edge test added
(94 tests green).

Figures: plot_{bridge,collapse,grounding,architectures,recombination}.py,
each a pure function of its committed bundle, wired into `make figures`
(glob plot_*.py minus plot_E[1-6]/_*). bridge sits on the exact H_eq
curve (g*=0.047); recombination shows max-merge rising while mean-distill
stays flat; architectures shows the collapse/rescue signs across
histogram/GRU/MLP.

"""Correctness tests for the Layer 1.5 neural scaffold (Stage A).
Pure-NumPy checks (no torch): the synthetic grammar is lossless, the exact oracle has zero
error, the histogram model reduces to a mode-frequency estimator, and the generation loop
produces the Layer-1 row schema deterministically.
