pd: verify anchors for the blending law and the emission ceiling
Check 9 -- cover traffic on a timeline. Blending follows rate*(2M+1)/3 (7.39 vs
7.41 predicted), the mean hold is the renewal residual (2M+1)/6, and mixing is
nil at the baseline rate: 0.007 concurrent holds, max 2. That last one is the
substantive finding rather than a sanity check -- at one message per second a
relay has nothing to mix, so the anonymity comes entirely from what it has seen.

Check 10 -- the emission quota. The measured breakpoint brackets the closed form
(band [0.127%, 0.159%] against a predicted 0.1475%), and deflating D_hat/D to
0.64 pushes more nodes over their quota, as the (D_hat/D)*alpha_max form requires.
