Lesson 129: Hamiltonian abstraction guards
Focus
Document classical post-processing: it often dominates wall-clock and interpretability. Token Hamiltonian abstraction guards:129 keeps neighbouring lessons differentiable.

- Guardrail: write one line about where classical cost dominated the timeline.
