conclusion + results: loop saturates at KL-budget ceiling, coherence held 8 rounds

The LoRA exhausts divergence-cheap trait directions within tau; saturation is
the real maximum, not a stalling artifact. rmse-KL vs mean-KL contrast is the
headline. care_nats base -1.30, peak -0.60 at r4, coh 0.99 throughout.

+A reverse-KL barrier aggregated by RMSE over token positions keeps coherence flat
+across 8 rounds of steer-distil-heal on gemma-3-4b-it, where the same barrier
+aggregated by mean collapses by round 7. Each heal step recovers per-round
+incoherence from the steered outputs while retaining the trait direction
+($\Delta\text{coh}/\Delta\text{auth}$ falls from 0.5--1.2 under steering to
+near zero under healing). The loop saturates around round 4, not because the
+barrier is too tight, but because the LoRA has exhausted the trait shift
+achievable within the KL budget from base: it is free to find any
+divergence-cheap direction, and it found none beyond that point. The maximum
+extractable trait at this budget is +0.54 nats on the care axis (base --1.30,
+peak --0.60), with coherence held at 0.99 throughout.
