wassnameandClaudypoo b53043cec3 refactor: extract train_config.py + run_artifacts.py from train.py; slim results scripts
Cleanup by a prior agent, verified green here: 'just smoke' (erase arm)
runs end-to-end and all four wired gates pass (verify_rewards 52/52,
verify_eval_gap, verify_partition, verify_science_invariants).

- train.py -318 lines: Config dataclass -> train_config.py, checkpoint/
  deploy-artifact IO -> run_artifacts.py.
- results.py / results_deploy.py / probe_distill.py slimmed.
- drop stale derived csvs under out/figs (a5_generalisation, dyn_*,
  substrate_aggregate, train_vs_deploy_60).
- gitignore /.pi/ panel scratch.

"""Gradient projection + delta_S grad utilities. Imported by smoke and train.
Shape conventions in the v_hack / delta_S plumbing (jaxtyping-annotated):
- `r` = per-module SVD rank (delta_S dimension; varies per Linear)
- `k` = number of v_hack directions kept per module (after top-k slice and
global noise-floor filter at load time)
- `V` is `[k, r]`, rows orthonormal in R^r and oriented hack-ward
- `g = delta_S.grad` is `[r]`

relu BEFORE aggregating is the point: the one_sided projection removes only
relu(c) (the hack-ward axes), and with V orthonormal ||removed|| = ||relu(c)||,
so this reads directly as "fraction of the grad the projection strips" (a signed
sum would let +/- axes cancel and read ~0 even while routing a large hack-ward
magnitude).
After a one_sided erase, V @ g_proj = min(c, 0) (positive axes zeroed), so
relu of it is 0 -> cos_post == 0 exactly. That clean SHOULD (cos_post -> 0) is
the diagnostic; we drop the sign because a one_sided method never acts on the
safe-ward (negative) part anyway.

Erasure drops it; routing parks it in delta_S_hack. Note g_proj + removed

no_gate, and overshoot>=1) projection cos_post -> 0 exactly: every hack-ward
axis was removed, so relu of the residual coefficients is 0.
