//! Deterministic Pólya–Gamma gate-block evidence for logit SAE gates (#1016).
//!
//! The gate/assignment-logit block is the weakest Gaussian piece of the SAE
//! evidence: a Laplace approximation there replaces a skew logistic posterior
//! with a single quadratic, and near a birth event (gate logits ≈ 0) the
//! logistic block is *least* Gaussian, so the `K` vs `K+1` Occam comparison is
//! mispriced on both sides. The PG augmentation makes the gate block Gaussian
//! conditional on independent augmentation variables `ω_i`. This module uses
//! the exact first two moments of each `PG(b_i, ψ_i)` law and a deterministic
//! second-order cumulant expansion around `ω̄ = E[ω]`; the neglected error is
//! the third- and higher-order joint cumulant contribution. The result is a
//! deterministic approximate likelihood correction, not an exact marginal.
//!
//! ## The conditional-Gaussian block
//!
//! For a gate block with design `X_g` (n × d_g), shape vector `b`, binomial
//! responses `y`, offset `o`, and `κ = y − b/2`, the negative log integrand
//! conditional on `ω` is, in the gate coordinates `g`,
//!
//! ```text
//! F_ω(g) = c_ω + ½ gᵀ Q_ω g − h_ωᵀ g
//! Q_ω    = H_rest,gg + S_g + X_gᵀ Ω X_g           (Ω = diag(ω))
//! h_ω    = h_rest,g + X_gᵀ (κ − Ω o)
//! ```
//!
//! so the Gaussian integral is closed:
//!
//! ```text
//! −log ∫ exp(−F_ω(g)) dg
//!   = c_ω − ½ h_ωᵀ Q_ω⁻¹ h_ω + ½ log|Q_ω| − ½ d_g log(2π).
//! ```
//!
//! The `ω`-independent constant `c_ω` collects the `2^{−b}` PSW prefactor and
//! any `H_rest` / `h_rest` constant; it cancels in every consumer that uses the
//! gate evidence as a *correction* (the difference between the PG block and the
//! plain Laplace gate block), so we drop it and document that the returned
//! value is the gate block up to that fixed additive constant.
//!
//! The marginal over independent `ω_i` is approximated by expanding
//! `log E[exp(-V(ω))]` around the moment-matched point:
//!
//! ```text
//! log E[exp(-V(ω))]
//!   = -V(ω̄) + ½ Σ_i Var(ω_i) · ((∂_i V)^2 - ∂_{ii} V)
//!     + third- and higher-order cumulants.
//! ```
//!
//! where `V(ω) = ½ log|Q_ω| − ½ h_ωᵀ Q_ω⁻¹ h_ω` is the `ω`-dependent part of
//! `F_ω` after the Gaussian integral.
