19 hoursRecord the matching battery: fifteen solvers, one amplifierYurenHao0426
Adds MATCHING_RESULTS.md. Entropic GW annealed and PATH both reach 0.961 on the reference field, above the 0.958 the project's own pipeline reached after months, and neither had been run. GW reaches 0.881 on the rank-8 field where GRAMPA reaches 0.076 -- which retires the morning's rank-ladder conclusion, since that ladder was run entirely with GRAMPA and GRAMPA degrades on clustered eigenvalues. The hard instance yields to amplification rather than a better solver: descent multiplies a partial answer by about four, so the job is to feed it a start that is 10-20% correct rather than to replace it.

19 hoursAmplification beats the instance that defeated fifteen solversYurenHao0426
The caption-omitted field returned under 5% from every solver tried: Umeyama, GRAMPA, five Gromov-Wasserstein variants, FAQ with and without restarts, PATH convex-concave, a moment ladder, semirelaxed GW. The measurements said the answer was not a sixteenth solver. Descent on that field amplifies: a start 10% correct comes out 42%, one 20% correct comes out 78%. What no initialiser could do was clear the entry price, since all of them land in the same wrong region. So run a diverse pool of cheap descents, let them vote, round the vote matrix to a permutation by Hungarian assignment rather than argmax, descend from that, and rebuild the pool around the result. Each round feeds the amplifier a better start. 0.044 -> 0.72 on the best run, 0.54 mean over two. Competitive elsewhere: 0.977 on the easy field against 0.961 for the best GW variant. Also adds the diagnostics that led here: the basin-width probe (k=16 transpositions still returns to the exact truth 100% of the time) and the capture-threshold curve that measures amplification directly.
