CLAIM 2 -- Theorem 5.6 (minimax lower bound):
"A minimax lower bound of Omega(s/sqrt(N)) is proven, showing linear dependence on the
 number of coupled constraints s is unavoidable for any learning algorithm."

Independent reproduction: we implement the paper's OWN hard-instance family (Section 5.3
Step 1) and then verify the lower bound in TWO independent ways.

(I)  Verify every ingredient of the paper's Fano argument as executable code:
     - restricted instance identity  u(pi,P) = sum_k min(pi_k/2, c_k - pi_k/2)
       cross-checked against a brute-force MILP solve;
     - Lemma 5.7: pi*(D_v) = mu 1 + sigma v  and  ||pi*(D_v)-pi*(D_v')||_1 = sigma d_H(v,v');
     - Varshamov-Gilbert packing V with |V| >= 2^{s/8} and pairwise Hamming >= s/8;
     - Lemma 5.8: KL(D_v^N || D_v'^N) <= 4 N s eps^2   (exact Bernoulli KL);
     - Lemma 5.9: E(pi) >= (eps/2) ||pi*(D_v) - pi||_1  (exhaustive over pi);
     - the assembled Fano bound and the constant it yields, incl. its dependence on s.

(II) An INDEPENDENT, rigorous, estimator-free lower bound: the EXACT Bayes risk of the
     *optimal* estimator under the uniform prior v ~ Unif({0,1}^s).  Since
     minimax >= Bayes, s * (per-coordinate Bayes risk) is a valid lower bound for EVERY
     learning algorithm.  It is computed in closed form by summing over the binomial
     sufficient statistic, then maximised over the perturbation scale eps.  Its N- and
     s-exponents are fitted and compared with the predicted (-1/2, +1).

(III) Sanity from above: measured worst-case risk of concrete estimators (ERM, SGA with
     averaging) on the same family -- they must sit ABOVE the lower bound.
