"""Frozen constants for the diversity-maximising sequential search — see ../PROTOCOL-SEQ.md. Pinned before any GPU job ran. Everything the frozen census pinned (slices, SEQ, flow constants, colored floor, lift measurement, clustering/identity threshold) is imported unchanged from `protocol.py` / `sprotocol.py`. This module adds only: 1. the grid (2 models x 3 representative blocks x 4 measures, + floors), 2. the sequential orthogonalised search's own knobs (restarts, K rule, per-slot seeds, selection rule), 3. the end-to-end impact measurement (Q3), 4. the labelling cap (Q2), 5. the pre-registered verdict thresholds (Q1). Nothing here is chosen at runtime.
