//! Rung 1 acceptance — the **output-Fisher metric in the reconstruction loss**
//! ([`gam_problem::MetricProvenance::BehavioralFisher`]), installed on a
//! [`SaeManifoldTerm`] via [`SaeManifoldTerm::set_row_metric`], turns the
//! reconstruction data-fit into generalized least squares in nats
//! (`½ eᵀ G_n e`) while leaving the estimator linear in the coefficients — so
//! the REML/evidence/EDF stack is preserved verbatim.
//!
//! Two load-bearing properties are pinned here:
//!
//! * **GLS preserves REML (the `G = I` limit).** With identity probes
//! (`s = p`, `U_n = I_p`, so `G_n = I`) the `BehavioralFisher` metric reports
//! `whitens_likelihood()` yet reproduces the plain-MSE fit: the data-fit
//! value and every entry of the assembled Arrow–Schur system (the penalized
//! normal system whose factorization/logdet the REML evidence and EDF are
//! computed from) match the no-metric isotropic path. Because REML evidence
//! and EDF are deterministic functions of exactly that assembled system,
//! identical assembly ⇒ identical evidence and EDF. This is the operational
//! statement of "GLS with a fixed row metric is still a linear Gaussian model,
//! so the whole REML machinery survives".
//!
//! * **The metric enters ONLY the reconstruction seam (still linear-in-β).** A
//! genuinely anisotropic `G_n` moves the data-fit value and the assembled
//! gradient, but leaves the metric-independent penalties (assignment sparsity,
//! ARD, decoder smoothness) bit-identical — i.e. it re-weights the
//! reconstruction residual and nothing else, which is exactly what makes it a
//! generalized-least-squares reconstruction rather than a different model.
//!
//! This is the principled form of Braun's end-to-end KL + MSE objective:
//! reconstruction anchored to the activation, priced in nats through the
//! pulled-back output Fisher `G = JᵀFJ`, with the sketch
//! `G ≈ Σᵢ vᵢ vᵢᵀ = U_n U_nᵀ` computed by `s` random harvest-time probes.
