"""Claim 3 [ALGORITHMIC]: mechanism structure + complexity.
Two parts:
(A) Structural verification of the two-stage mechanism against the paper's own
pseudocode and the invariants its proofs rely on.
(B) Empirical complexity: the paper's "Complexity Analysis" states the cold start
lasts O(K L N) rounds with per-round cost "only the sorting of prior means",
and the exploitation stage is dominated by the offline oracle (O(d^3) inversion).
