#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Finite exact-arithmetic regression for the target-aware selection pilot. For n = 2,...,6 and q in {3/16, 1/4, 5/16}, enumerate each position's accepted-zero, accepted-one, or rejected outcome. Then enumerate every uniformly selected subset of m = floor(n/2) accepted positions. Check the unconditional joint mass of the selected labels and retained values against the teacher product law times the exact success probability. This is a bounded regression of the selection mechanism, not a proof of the asymptotic three-round theorem or its final-batch discrepancy bound. Only Python's standard library is required; all checks use rational arithmetic.
