// One Gauge object (#933).
//
// Every identifiability mechanism in the engine performs the same
// mathematical act: quotient the coefficient space by directions in
// ker(J) ∩ ker(S), pick a section, fit in the reduced coordinates θ,
// and lift estimates / covariance back to the raw
// coordinates β. This module owns that act once.
//
// A `Gauge` is the affine section itself: the lift matrix
// `T : reduced → raw` plus an affine shift `a`
// (`β_raw = T · θ + a`) together with the per-block partitions
// of both coordinate systems. Block-diagonal `T`
// (independent per-block reductions, the canonical-audit case) and
// block-upper-triangular `T` (cross-block residualisation, the
// survival V+M-exact compile) are the same object — the partitions
// record where each block's rows/columns live.
//
// Lift conventions (the whole point — there is exactly one):
//   - point estimate:   β_raw = T · θ + a
//   - covariance:       Σ_raw = T · Σ_θ · Tᵀ
//   - Hessian/penalty:  H_θ = Tᵀ · H_raw · T
//   - η is invariant:   X_raw · (T · θ + a) = X_reduced · θ + offset_reduced
//
// Raw directions the active fit cannot move (zero rows of `T`) receive their
// fixed affine-shift value, zero variance, and zero covariance with every
// other coordinate: a coordinate the reduced fit cannot move carries no
// posterior uncertainty in raw space.
