test(sp17): A-centered invariance under V shift

Browse Source 
Verifies the architectural contract: a uniform additive shift to V
across atoms cannot leak into the post-centering distribution. The
plan specifies reading A_centered directly, but A_centered is a
register-local quantity inside compute_expected_q; this test
restates the property as the equivalent behavioral assertion that
adding a uniform constant to V leaves every per-action E[Q]
identical (softmax translation invariance).

A regression that accidentally reduced over (V + A) instead of A
alone would shift the per-atom mean by V_SHIFT and corrupt the
centered logits; the per-action E[Q] would diverge by O(1), failing
the ε=1e-4 assertion.

/// SP17 Phase 2 Task 2.2: A-centered invariance under V shift.
///
/// Architectural contract: the A-centering computation operates on
/// A only — a uniform additive shift to V cannot leak into the
/// post-centering distribution. The plan suggests reading
/// `A_centered` directly, but A_centered is a register-local
/// quantity inside `compute_expected_q`; instead we instrument this
/// as the equivalent BEHAVIORAL property:
///
/// "Adding a uniform constant to V[z] for every atom z must leave
/// every per-action E[Q] identical (softmax is translation-
/// invariant)."
///
/// Why this proves A-centered invariance: if the kernel's centering
/// computation accidentally pulled V into the per-atom mean — e.g.,
/// `mean_a (V + A)` instead of `mean_a A` — then a uniform V shift
/// would change the per-atom mean and therefore change the centered
/// logits and therefore E[Q]. The softmax-translation-invariance
/// assertion fails-loudly under that regression.
///
/// Construction:
/// - Two states s1, s2 with same A but `V_s2 = V_s1 + 10.0`
/// (constant shift over every atom).
/// - Run `compute_expected_q` on both.
/// - Assert per-action E[Q] is identical to ε=1e-5.
