// MetaBioHacker harness optimizer — Darwin Mode for acoustic reconstruction.
//
// Principle (Meta Harness / @metaharness/darwin): "freeze the model, evolve the
// harness." The FROZEN MODEL is the Rust acoustic engine (sonic_ct → WASM); we
// never change the physics. We evolve the RECONSTRUCTION HARNESS: what is
// reconstructed, how it is routed (cheap → frontier), and how it is scored.
//
// Darwin's `evolve()` is its code-surface evolver (it mutates harness *source
// files* against a task sandbox, for LLM agent harnesses). For our numeric
// genome we keep the same invariant — genome -> run frozen engine -> scored
// candidate -> Pareto frontier — using Darwin's `mapLimit` (bounded-concurrency
// evaluation) and `paretoFront` (multi-objective selection) primitives.
//
// Run: npm run optimize
