Brummel af0191884d fieldtest: cycle-0049 — 4 examples, 7 findings
Public-API field test of the random param-sweep surface, from a standalone
downstream-consumer crate (path-deps only; the public interface = ledger +
glossary + spec 0049 + cargo doc rustdoc; no crates/*/src read). Four bins,
each built from HEAD and run: continuous tuning (200-point random tune ranked
by total_pips), the typed validation gate (all five reachable SweepError
variants pre-run), reproducibility + seed-sensitivity + the full i64::MIN..=MAX
sampler edge, and Space-trait interchangeability (one tune_and_rank<S: Space>
over both GridSpace and RandomSpace).

Findings: 0 bugs, 4 working, 2 spec_gap, 1 friction. The four working findings
confirm the cycle's acceptance criterion empirically — the headline tune reads
as the code a researcher would write, the gate is precise and fires before any
run, the C1 reproducibility promise is checkable in one line, and the Space
trait delivers one-consumer/both-enumerations.

Triage of the actionable findings:
- friction (no named-axis builder for RandomSpace — positional Vec<ParamRange>
  must align with param_space() by hand, and a same-kind transposition passes
  validation silently): filed as a feature for a future cycle, refs #79
  (a RandomBinder sibling to the grid's SweepBinder).
- spec_gap (SweepError rustdoc summary named only GridSpace): fixed inline in a
  follow-up doc commit.
- spec_gap (NonNumericRange / Bool-slot ranges unreachable with the shipped
  aura-std node roster — no node declares a Bool/Timestamp knob): RATIFIED as
  intentional. The variant is a forward-looking structural guard for the C16
  "author your own node" path (a Bool/Timestamp param-slot a custom node may
  declare); its current untriggerability with the standard roster is expected,
  not drift.

// Cycle-0049 fieldtest — example 2: the typed VALIDATION GATE.
//
// Declare invalid ranges and observe the typed `SweepError` returned by
// `RandomSpace::new` BEFORE any run (axis-hint 2). Exercises every reachable
// SweepError construction fault:
// - Arity (wrong number of ranges vs. param-space slots)
// - RangeKindMismatch (F64 range on an I64 slot)
// - EmptyRange (I64) (lo > hi)
// - EmptyRange (F64) (lo >= hi — the half-open lo == hi case)
// - the valid I64 lo == hi single-point range (accepted, NOT an error)
// - NonNumericRange (a range on a Bool slot)
//
// The NonNumericRange case needs a node with a Bool param. No shipped aura-std
// node has one (all knobs are I64 `length` / F64 `scale`), so — exactly as a
// C16 research project would (it authors its own nodes in Rust) — this fixture
// authors a tiny custom pass-through node `GateNode` whose single knob is a Bool.
//
// PUBLIC INTERFACE ONLY: ledger + glossary + spec 0049 + rustdoc. No
// crates/*/src was read.
