igneum-labs a718d8e3af Horizon: lanes 2 (algorithm), 7 (frontier) and 8 (new-pow designs) land, with the summary skeleton

the project lead's 6 October 2026 ask: deep backward and forward research across the hash, finality,
economy, network and every shipped surface. This commit carries the first three lanes.

- docs/analysis/horizon/algorithm.md: the chip model on the 6 October numbers (f = 1 GDDR7
  chip 5.7x per joule against the 5090 at class v3, 2.1x at class v4 with k = 1), the FPGA
  lane tightened to 0.30x to 0.47x per watt, the reserve R0 to R8, the reconciled shadow-N
  ladder (section 5.3a) with HBM4 and three verifier brackets, the first measured verifier
  proxy on igneum-build-1 (class v4 5.06 ms cold, dr736 10.51: out), the dataset schedule
  to 2030; model sim/horizon/algorithm/model.py.
- docs/analysis/horizon/frontier.md: sixteen ideas ranked by payoff over difficulty with the
  Monero and Kaspa attacks, prior art cited, the honest never column; model
  sim/horizon/frontier/frontier_model.py.
- docs/analysis/horizon/new-pow.md sections 0 to 4: three new proof-of-work schemes defined,
  reviewed in two personas, scheme A (mining is proving) ruled out on bytes and
  sampleability, B and C in prototype on two rented 4090s; measured rows follow.
- docs/analysis/horizon-2026-10.md: the summary skeleton and the lane table.

Horizon lane 2 (algorithm): the model behind docs/analysis/horizon/algorithm.md

Run (plain Python 3, no numpy, under a second):

python3 sim/horizon/algorithm/model.py                      # every table, markdown on stdout
python3 sim/horizon/algorithm/model.py --section chip       # chip | fpga | v5 | era | verifier | schedule

Every input is listed at the top of model.py with its source file or URL and its label (measured, cited, approximate). The verifier rows are this lane's own measurement of 6 October 2026 on igneum-build-1 (the igneum-pow crate built there through tools/build-remote.sh, IGNEUM_AGENT=horizon, one slot, 10 s; the bench pinned with taskset -c 40 under nice -n 19, then both SMT siblings 40 and 88 at once); the commands and raw lines are in section 2 of the document.
