variants: replace arrow's dense block with diagonal-plus-low-rank core

antipasto_arrow -> antipasto_dplr. The arrowhead's dense b x b block is the wrong
shape: b^2 params, mixes only the top-b, and sits on the S-scaled coords so its
perturbation is amplified by the largest singular values (block=128 collapsed to
45.7% at the gain's lr). Replace it with LoRA's lesson -- a low-rank core inside
the frozen basis, ADDED to the gain:

    DeltaW = U [diag(S_eff) + coeff * B A] Vh,   A:(k,r) B:(r,k), B=0 at init

The low-rank part mixes the whole top-r subspace for 2*r*k params (k=LoRA's rank),
and being additive (not * diag(S)) it is S-independent -- the amplification edge is
gone by construction. Diagonal gain unchanged; identity at init from B=0 and g=0.

Wired through benchmark (antipasto_lora_rank, run_id __k suffix), justfile, cost_report,
smoke (green, dplr attaches/trains/round-trips). Arrow code removed; its run results
stay on disk for comparison.

"""AntiPaSTO-Arrow: cross-direction mixing via a cheap arrowhead core.
"""AntiPaSTO-DPLR: diagonal-plus-low-rank core in the frozen SVD basis.
antipasto's core is diagonal (S_eff = S * gain): it reweights each singular direction
independently but cannot let direction i drive direction j. A full dense r x r core
restores all mixing but costs r^2 params. The arrowhead is the cheap middle: a dense
block on the top-b directions (where the action lives), the diagonal gain on the rest.
antipasto's core is diagonal (a per-direction gain); it rescales each singular
direction but cannot mix one into another. The arrowhead tried a dense b x b block
on the top-b directions, but a dense block is the wrong shape (b^2 params, mixes only
the top-b) and -- sitting on the S-scaled coords -- its perturbation is amplified by
the largest singular values, so it destabilizes. The fix is LoRA's lesson: a low-rank
core. Put a trainable rank-k core inside the frozen U/Vh basis, ADDED to the gain:
core C (r x r, on the S-scaled coords):
[ B (b x b dense) | 0 ] B = I_b + coeff*M (top-b mixing)
[ 0 | diag(1 + ELU(coeff*g)) ] tail = antipasto's gain
DeltaW = U @ C @ diag(S) @ Vh
cost: b^2 + (r-b) params, one b x b matmul per forward.
W = U diag(S) Vh + W_res # frozen top-r SVD
learn: g (r,) # diagonal gain
A (k,r), B (r,k) # low-rank mixing core, B=0 at init
S_eff = S * (1 + ELU(coeff * g))
y = x @ W_res.T + ( (Vh x) * S_eff + coeff * B (A (Vh x)) ) @ U.T
Identity at init: M=0 -> B=I, g=0 -> 1+ELU(0)=1, so C=I and DeltaW = U diag(S) Vh.
coeff=0 -> C=I too (runtime off). The block is the linear (1+z) regime -- stable but
not strictly bounded; for a can't-blow-up guarantee on the top directions use
antipasto_ablate.
so the trainable core is C = diag(S_eff) + coeff * B A acting in S-space, and
DeltaW = U C Vh. The diagonal part scales directions; the low-rank part B A mixes them
across the whole top-r subspace for 2*r*k params (k=LoRA's rank), not b^2.
Refs: antipasto.py (diagonal sibling), antipasto_corda.py (off-axis basis argument).
Why the low-rank part is ADDED, not multiplied into diag(S): an additive core
U (BA) Vh is independent of S, so a unit step in BA moves W by O(1), not O(S). That is
exactly the S-amplification edge that made the dense arrowhead block blow up at the
gain's learning rate -- gone by construction.
Identity at init: B=0 -> BA=0, g=0 -> 1+ELU(0)=1, so C=diag(S) and DeltaW = U diag(S) Vh.
coeff=0 -> identity too (runtime off). The basis (U, Vh) stays frozen and interpretable;
only the gain and the rank-k core move.
Refs: antipasto.py (diagonal sibling), lora.py (the low-rank core), antipasto_corda.py
(oriented basis -- composes with this core).
