BASE 44 ORDER: Implement Q8-CLUSTER-140 geometry compression in pattern pipeline — E8 Intelligence Research

Andrew's order (Base 44 console): [SELF-BUILD from enhancement #444] Add Q8-CLUSTER-140 geometry compression (ratio 0.419, phi 12.94) to pattern detection pipeline. Insert after root vector extraction, before bucket 140/240 clustering. Re-run replay bench, compare cluster accuracy delta. MERLIN: Understood. I will insert the Q8-CLUSTER-140 geometry compression (ratio 0.419, phi 12.94) into the pattern detection pipeline, right after root vector extraction and before bucket 140/240 clustering. The swarm will then re-run the replay benchmark and compare the cluster accuracy delta against the previous baseline. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
