  24/-- **THEOREM: Lock-in Condition**
  25    The running coupling alpha_inv_running matches the geometric alphaLock
  26    at the lock-in scale lambda_rec = ell0.

  34/-- **SCAFFOLD: Eight-Beat Plateau Dominance**
  35    Below the lock-in scale Q < Q_lock, the discrete eight-beat cycle
  36    prevents further running, maintaining the geometric value. -/

  46/-- **THEOREM: Physical Coupling Continuity**
  47    The physical coupling is continuous at the lock-in boundary.
  48    Both branches agree at Q = Q_lock (proved in `alpha_lock_at_scale`). -/
