Julia package that takes knot diagrams (as signed Gauss codes), enumerates all 2^n global resolution states via union-find component counting, computes the fragment-count distribution L_D(k), and compares distributions across diagrams with the same crossing number. Package contents: - Core: union-find, GaussCode/KnotDiagram types, smoothing state enumeration - Analysis: fragment-count histograms, tropical summaries (support, spread/collapse) - Comparison: pairwise distribution comparison within crossing number groups - Knot table: all 14 prime knots up to 7 crossings (3 hand-coded, rest via DT conversion) - Scripts: full analysis pipeline and CairoMakie histogram plotting - Tests: comprehensive test suite covering union-find, trefoil verification, DT conversion, torus knot generation, and distribution properties - Narrative: testable predictions about spread vs collapse outcomes https://claude.ai/code/session_01GdW988jifdnYTGPdqRLFhp

Summary
This PR introduces the complete
KnotDiagramsJulia module for computing and analyzing fragment-count distributions L_D(k) of knot diagrams represented as signed Gauss codes. The module implements the full pipeline from diagram representation through state enumeration, circle counting, distribution computation, and comparative analysis across knot types.Changes

The test suite validates that the implementation correctly computes L_D(k) histograms and identifies topological invariants in fragment-count distributions.
