examples(wild): three 'professors-wall' showcase experiments

Flagship results, each verified against dense ground truth, matrix-free via resona:
- free_probability_calculator: predict the spectrum of A⊞B and A⊠B from the two
  individual spectra alone (never forming the composite) — moment error 1.2/1.4%,
  and free.freeness_defect self-certifies freeness (free 3e-5 vs non-free 0.05,
  prediction degrades 1.2%->21% on non-free pairs).
- sculpting_eigenvalues: inverse spectral problem — hit an arbitrary 6-eigenvalue
  target to 6.1e-16 at N=100,000 via the matrix-free Hellmann-Feynman Jacobian
  (wkernel.design + shift-invert eigsh), where the dense Jacobian is O(N^3).
- two_numbers_whole_spectrum: reconstruct the full spectrum from just 2 matrix-free
  moments (Beta-law) to <2% (MAE 0.25%), + a certified matrix-free log-det; scales
  to N=10,000,000 in 75s; spiked-spectrum limit documented honestly.

+EPIC 2 "Professors' Wall" — Experiment 2: THE FREE-PROBABILITY CALCULATOR
+========================================================================
+
+CLAIM under test
+----------------
+Given two large operators A, B that are *asymptotically free*, predict the FULL
+spectrum of
+
+        A ⊞ B   (free additive sum)        and       A ⊠ B   (free mult. product)
+
+PURELY from the two individual spectra — never forming A+B or A·B, never
+diagonalizing the composite — via free convolution, and match the TRUE
+(dense-formed) composite spectrum to ~1%.
+
+AND: when A, B are NOT free, the certificate `freeness_defect` must blow up AND
+the free-convolution prediction must degrade — so the calculator KNOWS its
+domain.
+
+What is "pure measure-level" here (the honest, strict reading):
+  - ADDITIVE:        s.boxplus(t)              -> moments of A⊞B from κ_n(A)+κ_n(B).
+                     This touches ONLY the two harvested measures (nodes/weights).
+                     It does NOT call a joint matvec.  (s + t, by contrast,
+                     re-probes the real sum operator Ax+Bx — exact but it DOES
+                     apply the composite action; we report it as a cross-check.)
+  - MULTIPLICATIVE:  S_{A⊠B}(w) = S_A(w)·S_B(w)  (resona.lift.s_transform), then
+                     reconstruct the moments of A⊠B from the product S-transform.
+                     Again ONLY the two measures are used.
+
+GROUND TRUTH (dense, ONLY for verification): form A+B, A·B at N≈3000, eigvalsh,
+compare predicted moments / density / edges.
