# High-precision sweep of the LOW mixing-delay region — the intended operating band.
#
# countable-vs-old.yaml samples delay at 4/8/16/32 with 5 replicates, which resolves the
# overload regime but leaves the design regime under-measured: at delay <= 8 every
# countable-vs-old gap there sits inside the replicate noise, so the report can only say
# "no difference detected", not how large a difference is excluded. This sweep spends the
# replicates instead of the range — delay 1..5 at 40 replicates — to put a tight CI on the
# model difference exactly where the parameters are actually chosen.
#
# rho = f * D_vis with D_vis = hops*delta_max/2 + (hops+1)*ell_mean spans ~0.25 (delay 1)
# to ~0.45 (delay 5), so the whole sweep sits well inside rho < 1 and U >= 1 should hold
# the equilibrium at 1.0 under BOTH models. The question is the size of the residual gap.
#
# Run TWICE — default (countable) and with --old — same grid. U=0 is the negative control:
# with no uncles the models are identical by construction, so the U=0 gap measures the
# between-run RNG noise floor at this replicate count and bounds what a real effect must
# exceed. Latency is in SLOTS (1 slot = 1 s).
