tobjend 739000e8c6 feat: CRX refined — cluster-then-infer for tighter grammars
Standard CRX over-approximates when Hasse diagram is non-linear (24% of
RAGSAK packages). Cluster-then-infer groups sequences by (first, last,
length), infers per-cluster, picks largest cluster's grammar.

Results on RAGSAK:
  Avg max disjunction: 2.8 → 1.7 (39% tighter)
  Packages improved: 6/10

Tradeoff: cluster granularity (too coarse = over-approximation,
too fine = no generalization). Current: (first, last, length_bucket).

Exports crx_refined() and crx_with_confidence() from bex package.
20 new tests. All 199 tests pass.

"""CRX Refined — Cluster-then-infer CRX with over-approximation detection.
Standard CRX produces over-approximated grammars when the Hasse diagram is
non-linear (branching). This module fixes that by:
1. Clustering similar sequences before inference
2. Inferring per-cluster (tighter grammars)
3. Reporting confidence metrics
Key insight: code call sequences have branching patterns that CHAREs
(linear chain expressions) can't represent. Clustering reduces branching
within each group, making CRX's linear assumption more valid.
Tradeoff: cluster granularity.
- Too coarse → over-approximation (standard CRX)
- Too fine → no generalization (one grammar per sequence)
- Sweet spot → cluster by structural features
