Time-aware NAB attempt + harmonic_anomaly library + README

Three pieces wrapping up the anomaly-detection arc:

1. examples/datascience/nab_time_aware.omc

   Tried three iterations to beat IsolationForest on NAB realKnownCause:
   naive bucket-rarity, rolling robust z-score (|z|), rolling robust z
   (positive-only). All three tie at 7/19 windows covered.

   Honest interpretation: beating NAB SOTA needs real time-series
   machinery (CUSUM change-point detection, FFT seasonality
   decomposition, HMM/LSTM autoencoders). Naive top-K detectors,
   harmonic or otherwise, sit at the 30-40% baseline tier.

   The harmonic angle is bucket-rarity post-z-score; with positive-only
   dev (caught via debug print: was flagging early-morning low-traffic
   dips as false positives), the algorithm matches IF but doesn't
   exceed it. Documented as honest negative result.

2. examples/lib/harmonic_anomaly.omc

   Packages the multi-dim subspace detector from Phase B+2 as a clean
   library. API mirrors scikit-learn ergonomics:

       h det = ha.new(["latency", "status", "endpoint", "hour"]);
       ha.set_strategy(det, 1, "discrete");
       ha.fit(det, training_rows);
       h alerts = ha.top_k(det, all_rows, 10);

   Three bucketing strategies: "log" (default, for numeric ranges
   spanning magnitudes), "discrete" (for categorical), "modulo"
   (for periodic small ints like hour-of-day).

   Plus ha.detect(dims, rows, k) one-shot convenience.

   Registered in registry/index.json with sha256. Installable via
   `omc --install harmonic_anomaly`.

3. examples/datascience/anomaly_tutorial.omc

   Tutorial walking through the library as a drop-in IsolationForest
   replacement. Synthesises 200 normal requests + 5 credential-
   stuffing rows; ha.top_k catches 5/5 in top-5. Documents when to
   choose harmonic_anomaly vs scikit-learn IsolationForest.

4. README updates

   - New "Where harmonic detection actually wins" section with the
     comparison table against scikit-learn IsolationForest.
   - harmonic_anomaly added to the integration libraries list.
   - Two new demos in the worth-running table (anomaly_detection,
     multidim_anomaly, anomaly_tutorial, nab_validation,
     nab_time_aware).
   - Honest about wins (multi-dim 10/10) AND ties/losses (NAB 7/19,
     1-D power-law K=30).

43/43 functional examples produce identical output under tree-walk
and VM. 92/92 unit tests pass.

+| Power-law K=30 (broad recall) | 5/30 | 15/30 | IF wins when you can investigate everything |
+
+The pattern: **harmonic decisively wins on multi-dim structural anomalies** (the credential-stuffing regime — values that look normal per-dim but rare in combination). Ties on simple time-series benchmarks where neither approach exploits temporal structure. Loses on broad-recall 1-D where IF's magnitude-based detection is the right tool.
+
+The harmonic_anomaly library at [`examples/lib/harmonic_anomaly.omc`](examples/lib/harmonic_anomaly.omc) packages the multi-dim detector with a clean `new` / `fit` / `top_k` API. Install it:
+
+```bash
+omnimcode-standalone --install harmonic_anomaly
+```
+
+Then in OMC:
+
+```omc
+import "harmonic_anomaly" as ha;
+h det = ha.new(["latency", "status", "endpoint", "hour"]);
+ha.set_strategy(det, 1, "discrete");   # status_code is categorical
+ha.fit(det, training_rows);
+h alerts = ha.top_k(det, all_rows, 10);
+```
+
