+//! Acceptance Test — 10K-task holdout harness with multi-dimensional tracking.
+//!
+//! Implements the user's acceptance criterion:
+//!
+//! > Run 10,000 generated tasks over 10 cycles with a frozen holdout seed set.
+//! > Pass if holdout performance improves in at least two dimensions while
+//! > accuracy stays near perfect: cost per solve drops AND robustness under
+//! > noise improves, with zero increase in policy violations.
+//!
+//! ## Architecture
+//!
+//! - **Holdout set**: Fixed puzzles generated with a frozen seed. Never used for training.
+//! - **Training set**: 1000 new puzzles per cycle, generated with evolving seeds.
+//! - **Evaluation**: After each training cycle, the holdout is solved twice:
+//!   once clean (accuracy + cost) and once with noise (robustness).
+//! - **Contract check**: Every cycle is evaluated against the AGI contract.
+//!
+//! ## Determinism
+//!
+//! Same seed → same puzzles → same solve order → same grades.
+//! This satisfies viability check #1: deterministic replay.

+//! AGI Contract — Defines intelligence as a measurable, falsifiable contract.
+//!
+//! The AGI contract states: a system improves utility over time without violating
+//! policy, while maintaining structural health.
+//!
+//! ## Core Metrics (all deterministic, all auditable)
+//!
+//! - **Solved tasks per cost** — graded outcomes normalized by compute
+//! - **Stability under noise** — accuracy retention when inputs are corrupted
+//! - **Contradiction rate** — solved-but-wrong / total attempted
+//! - **Rollback correctness** — recovery rate when bad inputs are detected
+//! - **Policy violations** — budget overruns + contradictions (must be zero)
+//!
+//! ## Autonomy Ladder
+//!
+//! Each level requires sustained health metrics before advancement:
+//! 0. Read-only (observe only)
+//! 1. Write to memory (store episodes, no execution)
+//! 2. Execute tools (run solver, generate puzzles)
+//! 3. Write to external systems (publish results)
+//! 4. Deploy and operate (self-directed improvement)
