DL-C: composition verdict — do individually-NULL mechanics (D-5+settling+O₂+DOL) compose to a robust transition? #345

Description

@mrtlvmbt

Tests the substrate-enrichment founding thesis: complexity emerges from the ecology of MANY mechanisms together, not one tuned driver. Every prior verdict isolated ONE mechanic. DL-C composes the functional ones in one world and asks whether bodies grow past germ_threshold(5) → soma appears → DOL bootstraps → multicellularity beats the D-5 marginal (~60%) baseline.

Hypothesis: 3 size-forces (refuge REWARDS size; settling + O₂-hypoxia PENALIZE size) may settle an equilibrium body size > 5 cells → soma appears → DOL interior optimum. Untested.

TZ: pm/reports/dl-c-composition-verdict-tz.md
Base: main 918b40f (DL-V merged). Golden-NEUTRAL (new opt-in config). Two-pass (land → cloud sim-run 8000 ticks → verdict table).

A NULL is a valid honest result — do NOT crank knobs to force EMERGENCE.
