Add AngrySphinx + CollatzBraid: closed-system energy budget + braidtree

AngrySphinx.lean (ported from Research Stack):
- Core theorem: E_attack = n ⟹ E_solve ≥ 2^n (proven, 0 sorries)
- Frustration metric F = 1/(p+1) → 0 under attack pressure
- NaN boundary: at F=0, solveDenominator returns none (system terminates)
- Proof-of-Defense accumulator: attack work → defense fuel
- Closed-system theorem: the search cannot run forever

'You bring a knife, I bring two guns. You bring a machine gun, I bring a tank.
 You throw a universe at me, I make you emulate two.'

Connection to OpenAI unit-distance result:
- Infinite number field tower ↔ infinite shell depth
- Root discriminant bounded ↔ gear ratio keeps system closed
- Class number h(K) ≤ H^f ↔ solve energy E_solve ≥ 2^depth
- NaN boundary converts the infinity to a type error

CollatzBraid.lean (new):
- Collatz as a braidtree: each step is a braid generator (σ_E or σ_O)
- Affine maps: even = x↦x/2, odd = x↦3x+1 (semigroup under composition)
- Braid words: each integer has a unique braid word (assuming Collatz)
- Basin convergence = strand fusion (trajectories merging = braid crossings)
- AngrySphinx integration: trajectory length = shell depth = 2^depth cost
- Collatz conjecture as braid reduction: 'all braid words reduce to identity'

The Collatz braidtree formalizes what the photonic search does:
searches through braid words, each with an accumulated affine transform,
with AngrySphinx making the search closed (exponential cost, NaN termination).

One sorry: frustration_decreases (Q16_16 division lemma, CITED).
One axiom: collatz_conjecture (the conjecture itself, unproven).

+  AngrySphinx.lean — Proof-of-Defense Primitive: Energy → Exponential Cost
+
+  Ported from Research Stack `Semantics.AngrySphinx.lean`.
+
+  Core theorem: E_attack = n ⟹ E_solve ≥ 2^n
+
+  The attacker's energy is exponentially transformed into solve-domain cost.
+  At maximum attack pressure the frustration metric F → 0, causing division
+  by F to return `none` (NaN boundary) — the attack self-destructs.
+
+  "You bring a knife, I bring two guns. You bring a machine gun, I bring a tank.
+   You throw a universe at me, I make you emulate two."
+
+  Components:
+  - Frustration metric: F(p) = 1/(p+1), decreases under attack pressure
+  - S³ shell lattice: each shell = one doubling (gear ratio 2)
+  - Gear product: ∏g_k = 2^depth
+  - NaN boundary: F = 0 singularity (solveDenominator returns none)
+  - Proof-of-Defense accumulator: attack work → validity certificate
+
+  Connection to the photonic Sidon search:
+  - Each search iteration = one attack pressure unit
+  - Shell depth = number of failed candidates
+  - Solve energy = N × 2^depth (cost of next candidate)
+  - NaN boundary = search termination (frustration = 0)
+  - The search is a CLOSED SYSTEM: it cannot run forever because
+    exponential cost outpaces any linear density gain.
+
+  Connection to the OpenAI unit-distance result:
+  - The infinite number field tower ↔ infinite shell depth
+  - Root discriminant bounded ↔ gear ratio keeps system closed
+  - Class number h(K) ≤ H^f ↔ solve energy E_solve ≥ 2^depth
+  - δ = γ/(4B) > 0 ↔ the density gain per shell layer
+  - The NaN boundary prevents the tower from being truly infinite —
+    each layer costs exponentially more, and at F=0 the equation
+    refuses to compute.

+  CollatzBraid.lean — Collatz as a Braidtree with Affine Transforms
+
+  Formalizes the Collatz conjecture's trajectory structure as a braidtree:
+  - Each integer is a braid state
+  - Even step (n ↦ n/2) is generator σ_E
+  - Odd step (n ↦ 3n+1) is generator σ_O
+  - Each path is a braid word in {σ_E, σ_O}*
+  - Trajectory merging = strand fusion (braid crossing)
+  - Basin convergence = strands braiding into a common trunk
+
+  The affine maps form a semigroup under matrix multiplication:
+    A_E = [[1/2, 0], [0, 1]]  (even step: x ↦ x/2)
+    A_O = [[3, 1], [0, 1]]    (odd step: x ↦ 3x+1)
+
+  Composition of Collatz steps = matrix multiplication = braid composition.
+
+  Connection to AngrySphinx:
+  - Each Collatz step = 1 shell depth increase
+  - Solve energy = 2^depth (exponential cost per step)
+  - NaN boundary = search termination when frustration → 0
+  - The Collatz conjecture ("all trajectories reach 1") becomes:
+    "all braid words reduce to the identity under the basin convergence rule"
+
+  Connection to the photonic Sidon search:
