Bruno Postle 0e5e607c4f Swap inner loop default from CMA-ES to Nelder-Mead (homemaker-py-d6d)
Bakeoff with native fitness shows NM wins at all DOF sizes: +9% at
child_budget=80 for programme-house (6-7 DOF), and decisively at
harbor-house scale (35-40 DOF) where CMA-ES exhausts its convergence
detector after ~3 generations (46 evals) and adds failures on 12/15
runs.  NM uses the full budget, is parameter-free, and has zero new
failures across all test cases.

- Add nm_search() to innerloop.py; change optimise() default to "nm"
- Add nm_search to parametrised test cases
- Add bakeoff_native.py and bakeoff_harbor.py experiments with results

"""Inner-loop optimiser bake-off with native fitness (homemaker-py-d6d).
Re-runs the Phase 1 oracle bakeoff (bakeoff_innerloop.py / homemaker-py-d0s)
using the native Python fitness evaluator instead of the Perl oracle. The
oracle's 1 s/eval startup cost previously penalised sequential methods (NM);
with native fitness at ~70 evals/s that constraint is gone.
Candidates: nm, cma, compass, compass-ms (same as Phase 1).
Protocol: cold start from each file's equal-offset projection, one run per
(method, file, seed), best-so-far traced after every eval. Gains measured
relative to native baseline (native score of the unmodified original).
Usage: python3 experiments/bakeoff_native.py [budget] [out.json]
(defaults: budget 200, experiments/bakeoff_native.json)
