Core experiment: does the IRM invariance penalty drop at the SAME epoch
as validation accuracy jumps (the grokking transition)?
If yes β the paper's central claim is confirmed.
Run via the launchers (always nohup-detached so SSH disconnects don't kill it):
bash scripts/launch.sh grokking 500 42
All artifacts (config, logs, history, checkpoints, figures) for every
invocation land in experiments/runs/<run_id>/ and are kept forever.
