Subject: Recompute EP CIFAR d=256 diagnostics with sign fix
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

EP d=256 (5 seeds): acc=31.9%, Gamma=+0.007 (was -0.13), rho=+0.051 (was -0.037)
Sign correction: -(h_nudge - h_free)/β aligns EP credit with BP gradient direction.
