jgrusewski ad4e22e87d fix(hyperopt): PSO premature convergence — tune inertia/cognitive/social
Argmin defaults: inertia=0.72, cognitive=1.19, social=1.19
Problem: social >> inertia causes particles to collapse toward the
global best immediately. With only 1 LHS trial as the initial best,
the entire swarm clusters around that point and can't explore.
Every PSO trial was worse than the random LHS trial.

Fix: inertia=0.9 (high momentum, maintains exploration),
cognitive=1.5 (strong personal best memory),
social=0.8 (weak global pull, prevents premature convergence).

Applied to both sequential and parallel optimizer paths.
