Refuses polynomial-time solves on near-singular systems whose
diagonal-dominance margin falls below a configurable threshold —
the architectural defence against the Pi-Zero / Cognitum failure
mode where the solver burns a J/decision budget producing an
ε-quality answer the agent then discards.

New module `src/coherence.rs`:

  - `coherence_score(&dyn Matrix) -> f64` — one-pass diagonal-
    dominance margin in [-∞, 1]:
      * 1.0  = perfectly diagonal
      * (0,1) = strictly DD; Neumann series convergence guaranteed
      * 0    = boundary
      * <0   = not DD; iterative solvers may diverge
      * -∞   = zero diagonal (degenerate row)
  - `check_coherence_or_reject(&dyn Matrix, threshold)` — returns
    Err(Incoherent) if score < threshold; Ok(score) otherwise.
    Threshold = 0 disables the gate entirely (the default).

Wired into the public API:

  - `SolverError::Incoherent { coherence, threshold }` — new
    variant, `is_recoverable() = true`, severity = Low (it's a
    budget refusal, not corruption), formatted error message
    points the caller at ADR-001 and the opt-out.
  - `SolverOptions::coherence_threshold: Precision` — defaults to
    `0.0` (gate disabled) so every existing caller is wire-
    compatible. Setting to `0.05` enables the recommended floor.
  - lib.rs re-exports `coherence_score` and
    `check_coherence_or_reject` at the crate root.

8 new unit tests cover the score function (perfect diagonal,
moderate dominance, boundary case, non-dominant, zero-diagonal)
and the gate (disabled threshold passes, enabled threshold
rejects incoherent and accepts dominant matrices).

Test count: 137 → 145 lib pass. No external API breakage —
SolverOptions still has Default + all 3 named constructors with
the new field set to 0.0.

ADR-001 roadmap: items #1 + #3 done, 4 left (#2 solve_on_change,
#4 MCP advertise, #5 joules bench, #6 contrastive adapter).

The central architectural payoff of ADR-001: when a downstream system
(Cognitum reflex loop, RuView change detection, Ruflo agentic inner
loop, ruvector graph repair) delivers a *sparse* update to the RHS,
the solver pays sub-linear work proportional to ||delta|| rather than
cold-starting against the full b. Lifts steady-state cost from
`O(k_cold · nnz(A))` to `O(k_warm · nnz(A))` where k_warm ≪ k_cold
on well-conditioned DD systems with small deltas.

New module `src/incremental.rs`:

  - `SparseDelta { indices, values }` — additive sparse update to a
    RHS vector. `apply_to`, `as_pairs`, `nnz`, `is_empty`, length
    validation, out-of-bounds rejection.

  - `IncrementalSolver` extension trait blanket-impl'd for every
    `SolverAlgorithm` so the entry point is available on every solver
    in the crate (Neumann, optimised CG, sublinear-Neumann, …) with
    no per-solver wiring needed.

  - `solve_on_change(matrix, prev, delta, opts)` uses the
    **residual-correction pattern**:
        r   = delta            (= b_new − A·prev for converged prev)
        dx  = A⁻¹ · r          (inner cold solve on a small sparse RHS)
        x   = prev + dx

    This sidesteps the trap of feeding `initial_guess = prev` to
    iterative solvers that don't honour it correctly (Neumann's
    `compute_next_term` double-counts the k=0 series term, same class
    of bug as the iter-2 v1.6.0 fix). Solving for the *correction*
    from zero is asymptotically faster because ||r|| ≪ ||b_new||
    drives Neumann's geometric convergence to fewer iters
    proportional to log(||r||/||b_new||).

  - `IncrementalConfig` knobs for tuning the warm-start / full-solve
    crossover.

  - `IncrementalSolveOp` marker type with `Complexity = Adaptive {
    Linear, Linear }` and `DETAIL` documenting the sub-linear-in-
    delta-norm payoff. Stable target for the future MCP `x-complexity`
    schema (ADR-001 item #4).

6 unit tests pin the contract:

  - SparseDelta validation: length match, out-of-bounds detection.
  - Identity case: empty delta + prev_solution → same solution as
    full solve.
  - Tracking: incremental result on b_prev + delta matches cold
    full-solve on the new RHS within solver tolerance.
  - **Architectural promise**: warm-start iterations ≤ cold-start
    iterations on a small delta (the headline benefit of this
    roadmap item).

Test count: 145 → 151 lib pass (+6). No external API breakage —
purely additive. Existing callers keep working unchanged; the new
entry point is opt-in.

ADR-001 roadmap status: items #1 #2 #3 done. Remaining:
  #4 MCP x-complexity + max_complexity_class budget arg
  #5 joules_per_decision bench
  #6 find_anomalous_rows contrastive adapter

Cuts the minor that captures the first three roadmap items of
ADR-001 (Complexity as Architecture):

  - item #1: ComplexityClass enum + Complexity trait
  - item #2: solve_on_change residual-correction
  - item #3: coherence gate

Public API is additive — no breaking changes. SolverOptions gains
one new field with default 0.0 (gate disabled), so every existing
caller stays wire-compatible.

Bumps:
  - npm  sublinear-time-solver  1.6.0 → 1.7.0
  - rust sublinear (crate)      0.2.0 → 0.3.0

CHANGELOG.md gets a fresh 1.7.0 section above the existing 1.6.0
entry, structured to match Keep-a-Changelog conventions.

Roadmap items #4, #5, #6 stay on the cron a3644c7d backlog for the
follow-up minor.

ADR-001 roadmap item #6: the boundary-crossing primitive RuView /
Cognitum / Ruflo's inner loops actually call. Two functions in a
new module `src/contrastive.rs`:

  - `find_anomalous_rows(baseline, current, k) -> Vec<AnomalyRow>`
    Top-k rows by |current[i] - baseline[i]|, sorted desc with row
    index as the tie-break. `O(n log k)` via a `k`-sized min-heap
    (BinaryHeap with inverted Ord). Phase-1 implementation: full
    scan over the dense vectors. Phase-2 (tracked as TODO) drops to
    O(k · log n) by computing individual entries of `current`
    directly via the sublinear-Neumann single-entry primitive,
    matching what the ADR §Roadmap promised.

  - `find_rows_above_threshold(baseline, current, threshold)` —
    O(n) one-pass filter that returns ALL rows whose anomaly exceeds
    `threshold`. The change-driven activation primitive: an agent
    stays asleep until the iterator yields anything. RuView's
    "activate only on boundary crossing" maps directly to this.

  - `AnomalyRow { row, baseline, current, anomaly }` — the report
    shape. Comparable by row + anomaly for deterministic ordering.

  - `FindAnomalousRowsOp` complexity marker:
    `Adaptive { Linear, Linear }` today, with DETAIL documenting
    the planned drop to O(k · log n) in phase 2.

9 unit tests cover the API: empty inputs, k=0, k>n, top-k
correctness, tie-breaks, absolute-value semantics, threshold
filtering / no-match / dim-mismatch panic.

Also fixes the CI failure on the previous push:

  src/incremental.rs:22 doc test had a type mismatch — `SparseDelta::new`
  returns `Result<SparseDelta>` but I passed `&result` directly to
  `solve_on_change`. Added `?` to unwrap the Result and `as &dyn Matrix`
  to make the cast explicit. The 6 unit tests in incremental had been
  doing the right thing; only the doc example was wrong.

Test count: 151 → 160 lib pass + 11 doc tests (was 1 failing).

ADR-001 roadmap: items #1 #2 #3 #6 done. Remaining: #4 MCP
x-complexity advertise + budget arg, #5 joules_per_decision bench.

The metric that converts "this is edge-deployable" from vibes to a
falsifiable number. ADR-001 §SOTA criterion required this before the
package can be called complete. New file
`examples/joules_per_decision.rs`:

  - `PowerCounter` trait with two impls:
      * RaplCounter:    /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl:0/energy_uj
                        — works on Intel and AMD Zen 2+ via the
                        compatible interface, microjoule resolution.
      * TimeOnlyCounter: wall-clock fallback when RAPL is unreadable
                        (sandbox, macOS, locked-down host). Reports
                        energy as `(not measured)`, prints timing
                        only.

  - `pick_counter()` tries the impls in order and never panics.

  - Two workloads:
      * OptimizedConjugateGradientSolver  (n configurable, default 256)
      * NeumannSolver
    plus a 100-iter warm-up so the first sample doesn't capture cold
    cache + JIT.

  - Report struct prints joules, average watts, µJ/solve, µs/solve
    when RAPL works; just µs/solve when it doesn't.

Local run on the dev host (RAPL not granted to user; fell back to
time-only):

  OptimizedConjugateGradientSolver, n=256:  0.77 µs / solve
  NeumannSolver, n=256:                     47.98 µs / solve

That's a 62× CG-over-Neumann ratio, consistent with the BENCHMARK.md
baselines from the v1.6.0 release. With RAPL granted (root or
chmod a+r), the same workload reports actual joules and average
watts.

Run with:
  cargo run --release --example joules_per_decision
  cargo run --release --example joules_per_decision -- --n 1024 --iters 5000

Phase-2 plan (in the source as a comment):
  - Integrate into the CI bench-smoke job once a stable per-job
    power counter exists (currently GitHub Actions doesn't expose
    one).
  - Add hwmon backend for the Pi Zero 2W path.

ADR-001 roadmap: items #1 #2 #3 #5 #6 done. Only #4 (MCP
x-complexity schema + max_complexity_class budget) remains.

Completes the verifiable structural backlog. src/plateau.mjs is a pure,
deterministic detector: a plateau is declared only when ALL three hold over a
rolling window -- median per-generation improvement < epsilon, promotion rate
< max, and candidate-score variance shrinking. It emits a classification
(local-optimum / noisy-benchmark / still-improving / inconclusive), separating
a real local optimum from noise or optimizer failure without intuition.

run-plateau.mjs builds a 6-generation history with diminishing returns, gates
every candidate with the real ADR-076 gate, derives per-generation stats
(bestDelta, promotion rate, score variance) from the real decisions, and
applies the detector (final verdict + per-prefix trace showing WHEN it fires).
On the demo history it declares plateau=true (local-optimum) first at
generation 4.

verify-plateau.mjs re-gates every sealed candidate, rebuilds the history, and
recomputes the detector -- asserting the history and verdict reproduce
bit-for-bit. Deterministic; the plateau signal is verifiable, not a claim.
Outcomes remain synthetic and are shaped to diminish so a plateau forms; the
real/synthetic boundary is unchanged.
