/* app.js — the DMCRA Lab controller: real quantisation and a real llama forward pass in the page.
 *
 * WHAT THIS FILE DOES
 * It loads a GGUF in the browser, runs the REAL transformer over the REAL weight bytes, and measures
 * the claims of the DMCRA document on the actual output of the model. It is the page half of
 * `scripts/dmcra_tests/elastic.test.mjs` — the Node suite already measures all of this — and the
 * algorithms here (average ranks, Spearman with ties, the per-block elastic plan, the per-block
 * quantiser) are ports of that suite's, deliberately ported rather than reinvented so the page and
 * the suite cannot disagree about what a number means.
 *
 * THE INSTRUMENTS, AND WHY NOT PERPLEXITY
 * Perplexity was the obvious quality metric and had to be dropped: on the fixture the suite uses, the
 * exact pass's perplexity measures WORSE than a uniform distribution while its top-1 is 16.9%, so any
 * noise that shrinks the logits toward uniform "improves" it. Perplexity is therefore not shown at
 * all. The page scores with instruments that are invariant to logit scale, so a quantiser cannot buy
 * a better figure by shrinking its logits:
 *
 *   mean rank of the true token   — chance is (vocab+1)/2; continuous, so tighter than a hit rate.
 *   Spearman rho against EXACT     — rank correlation of the full logit vector against the exact
 *                                    pass: how much of the model's own preference order a quantiser
 *                                    destroyed. Primary instrument.
 *   top-1 rate                     — reported with its standard error so its weakness is visible.
 *
 * HONESTY RULES ENFORCED HERE
 *   - Every figure displayed is measured by this run; nothing is quoted from a report.
 *   - bits/weight comes from the pass itself (`meta.meanBitsPerWeight`), never recomputed here.
 *   - Anything that cannot run is refused in words with the reason, and the panel stays usable.
 *   - The zero-channel test reports exact equality or difference, whichever the numbers give.
 *
 * Dependency globals, loaded by index.html in this order: HDCGGUF, HDCWeights, HDCBPE, DMCRAQUANT,
 * HDCFORWARD. Same UMD shape as quant.js, so it also loads under Node with a stubbed DOM.
