"""CLAIM 3 -- Theorem 3.3: PABLO attains the optimal sqrt(P_T) dynamic-regret dependence on
the path length P_T *without prior knowledge of P_T*.

The decisive property is the "without prior knowledge" part, so the experiment is built
around it: comparator sequences with a CONTROLLED path length P_T are constructed, P_T is
withheld from the algorithm, and the measured dynamic regret is compared both to the
predicted sqrt(P_T) scaling and to an ORACLE-tuned single-step-size baseline that is given
P_T.

Tests
 A  Theorem E.6 (the guarantee of Algorithm 5, the base learner of Algorithm 6) checked as
    an inequality on random full-information instances; the mis-parsed variant of the update
    is also run to show the check is discriminative.
 B  Theorem E.7 (guarantee of Algorithm 6) checked as an inequality, full information.
 C  uBLO with K-phase hard environments and matching piecewise-constant comparators:
    P_T sweep (fixed T) and T sweep (fixed K), fitted exponents vs the predicted 1/2.
 D  no-prior-knowledge test: Algorithm 6 (knows nothing) vs Algorithm 5 with the oracle
    step size for the true P_T, vs Algorithm 5 with a step size tuned for P_T = 0.
 E  d-dependence of the dynamic-regret bound (the same d/kappa factor as Theorem 3.1).
