Giorgio Gilestro 840b6b00b3 Layer 1.5: architecture-general neural existence proof
Re-scopes Layer 2 into a cheaper, architecture-general neural collapse proof
before the LLM rung. Realises the same Wright–Fisher abstractions in real trained
generative models on a fully-synthetic sandbox with an exact oracle, reusing
knowledge.metrics/truth/seeding and the output contract so neural curves overlay
the Layer-1 analytic curves.

  - src/neural/: synthetic token-grammar sandbox (lossless identity + stochastic
    style), ExactOracle, HistogramModel bridge, generation loop, experiment runner
  - HARD GATE passed: histogram lineage reproduces Layer 1 exactly (neutral decay,
    exact H_eq, tracks run_lineage) — tests/test_neural_validation.py
  - torch models: autoregressive RNN + MLP (VAE implemented, not yet fidelity-
    passing); determinism seeding derived from the SeedSequence stream
  - N0 bridge (neural g*=0.047 ≈ Layer-1 0.048), N1 collapse-in-weights, N2 phase
    boundary, N5 architecture-generality (collapse + grounding-rescue in histogram
    + RNN + MLP). Manifests/configs committed; parquet gitignored, hashes tracked
  - additive backward-compatible save_artifacts extension; Makefile neural targets

Finding: neural smoothing partially resists H-collapse, so forward-KL and tail
survival are the sharp neural collapse metrics (H is smooth, per Layer 1).

92 tests green. Remaining (tasks/todo.md): N4 merge, N2 refine, N3/N6, VAE
fidelity, MNIST tier, figures. LLM/LoRA rung and C3 deferred.

# Bridge / harness-faithfulness check (Layer 1.5 build-order Stage B): run the E2 grounding
# phase-boundary sweep through the NEURAL runner with the histogram model, which is exactly
# neutral Wright-Fisher drift with immigration. Stationary H must track the closed form
# H_eq = H* * m(2n+m-1)/(n+2nm+m^2) and reproduce a critical g* << 1 — i.e. the neural
