Numerical audit of Claim 1: w_k = 1/||∇g(θ_k)||^2 derivation.
The paper derives the constraint sensitivity weight from the shortest signed
distance to the safety boundary. We verify:
1. The minimal-norm update to reach g(θ) = 0 is Δθ* = -g(θ_k)/||∇g(θ_k)||^2 * ∇g(θ_k)
2. The shortest signed distance is |g(θ_k)|/||∇g(θ_k)||
3. The weight w_k = 1/||∇g(θ_k)||^2 emerges naturally from this formulation
