cortiq-engine 0.5.26

//! Dynamic per-token skill routing with hysteresis (spec §9 made
//! runtime; VMF-2026 experiment №2).
//!
//! The recon-argmin error E(skill) is computed against the rolling φ
//! (EMA of the router layer's hidden state — on-policy, fireball-style).
//! Switching uses TWO thresholds — a first-order-transition analogue of
//! the VMF condensation potential V(𝒲,T) = D(T²−T₀²)𝒲² − E·T·𝒲³ +
//! (λ/4)𝒲⁴, whose cubic term opens a barrier between the "off" (φ far
//! from any skill) and "on" (φ inside a skill's subspace) minima:
//!   - activate a skill only when its E drops below `e_on` (nucleation);
//!   - abandon the active skill only when its E rises above `e_off`
//!     (> e_on), or a rival beats it by more than `margin`.
//!
//! The barrier `e_off − e_on` is exactly what suppresses thrashing at
//! domain boundaries (the very effect a single threshold cannot give).
