"""
Numerical audit of Claim 2: KKT equivalence and convergence rate.

Proposition 3.2: CSPO's augmented constrained objective shares the same KKT
solution set as the original constrained problem.

Convergence: CSPO converges to an approximate first-order KKT point at rate
O(L^3 G^2 lambda_max^2 / epsilon^6).

We verify:
1. The KKT conditions of the original and augmented problems are equivalent
2. The effective multiplier lambda_eff = lambda + alpha * w * [g(theta)]_+
   preserves KKT structure
3. The convergence rate formula structure
