CIFAR-100 d=256 L=4: both FA and DFA fail — strongest qualifying setting

CIFAR-100 on the SAME architecture as the main CIFAR-10 audit (d=256 L=4
pre-LN ResMLP) is a setting where BOTH FA and DFA fall below the frozen-
blocks baseline at ALL 3 seeds while reporting positive cosine.

Frozen baseline (BP-frozen, 2 seeds): 0.177, 0.178 → mean ~0.178

Methods (3 seeds, 100ep):
  seed   BP      DFA     FA
  42     0.319   0.088   0.146
  123    0.322   0.087   0.121
  456    0.322   0.089   0.131

s456 diagnostics (only seed with full JSON — others being re-run):
  DFA: cos=+0.030 (positive), h_L=1.9e8, g_L=1.0e-8
  FA:  cos=+0.247 (positive), h_L=2.3e5, g_L=1.3e-6
  BP:  cos=+1.000 (trustworthy), h_L=192, g_L=9.7e-4

This is STRONGER than d=512 L=2 CIFAR-10 because:
1. Same architecture as the paper's main audit (d=256 L=4)
2. ALL 3 seeds qualify (not just 3/10)
3. Large margin: FA 4.7pp below frozen, DFA 8.9pp below frozen
4. Standard reporting pair (acc + cos) would NOT walk back either

Also added: CIFAR-100 dataset support in cifar_resmlp.py and
resmlp_frozen_blocks_baseline.py.
