CRDT-backed constraint states for distributed fleet consensus

//! # Novel Experiment 4: Count-Min Sketch CRDT
//!
//! Approximate frequency counting for constraint violations.
//! Instead of tracking exact counts per constraint (O(n) space), use
//! a fixed-size 2D array (O(k*w) space) with probabilistic guarantees.
//!
//! Why this matters: a fleet node tracking 1M unique constraint IDs
//! needs ~4MB for exact counting but ~12KB for a sketch with <1% error.
//! That's 300x compression — and the sketch IS a CRDT (element-wise max).
//!
//! Novel: connects to our constraint theory via the observation that
//! "approximately satisfied" with error bounds is sufficient for
//! fleet coordination — exact counts are overkill.

/// A Count-Min Sketch CRDT for approximate frequency counting.
///
/// Properties:
/// - Merge: element-wise max (semilattice)
/// - Overestimate: never underestimates (zero false negatives)
/// - Error bound: ε with probability ≥ 1-δ
/// - Space: O(1/ε * ln(1/δ)) regardless of item count
