docs(sim): rigorous derivation of the evaluation metric
Add METRIC_DERIVATION.md — a standalone, skeptic-facing account of WHY the metric is regret(linear, sign-split) + effort(direction-split) + an explicit detection axis, per scenario class, with 3:1 directional weights. Where THEORY.md is the chronological lab notebook, this is the cleaned-up proof: each claim is labeled PROVEN (algebra/probability from the plant identity), EMPIRICAL (named simulation), or VALUES (declared judgment), and the argument is carried as much by the three falsified hypotheses (δ²-cancellation, single-scalar E=J_opt/J, sufficiency of ∫e²) as by the surviving ones. Includes the detection non-recoverability theorem (§7), the quadratic-blindness lemma (§5.3), the weight-robustness result, the confirm-debias "−7% gap is optimal" demonstration, and an explicit falsification checklist (§11) plus an epistemic-status table (§12). All citations verified against the tree (poisson_floor metrics.rs:864; commits 31a9dbc / a1d3fa7 / 70fcb26). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
