Phase 0.2 of the mutation-testing campaign. Adds a module gated on
#[cfg(feature = "async")] that, for every algorithm with a run_async,
asserts that the async runner produces the same result as the sync
runner given the same Config + seed + problem.
Before: nothing exercised run_async, so cargo mutants survived
'replace run_async body with OptimizationResult::new()' and every
comparison/arithmetic mutant inside the async loop for every
async-capable algorithm — about 25-30 algorithms * 5-10 mutants each.
After: every such mutant is killed because the parity test detects
any divergence in best.evaluation.objectives or pareto-front
objective tuples.

Phase 0.1 of the mutation-testing campaign: a sweep test per algorithm
(33 total) asserting the exact strings returned by AlgorithmInfo::name()
and AlgorithmInfo::full_name() plus the seed propagated through
AlgorithmInfo::seed().
Before: cargo mutants survived dozens of mutants per algorithm replacing
the name/full_name return values with "" or "xyzzy", and the seed
return with None/Some(0)/Some(1). After: every such mutant is caught
by an exact-equality assertion.
NelderMead is deterministic and has no seed override (intentionally);
its test asserts seed() == None to pin the default-trait-impl behavior.
Goes from 10 properties to 50+, organized into four files:
- tests/properties.rs (existing) — Pareto-utility invariants
- tests/algorithm_properties.rs (new) — every Optimizer impl gets:
* determinism-with-seed property
* no-panic-on-random-valid-input property
* population-size-as-documented property where applicable
- tests/operator_properties.rs (new) — every Variation/Initializer/
Repair impl gets the right size + in-bounds + no-panic properties
- tests/metric_properties.rs (new) — every metric gets monotonicity
/ non-negativity / dim-checking properties
- tests/numerical_stability.rs (new) — single-point populations,
duplicate populations, near-zero bounds, very large bounds,
algorithms-on-flat-fitness — none of which should panic.
Total: 226 unit tests + this much-larger property suite. Strategies
are factored into a small `prop_helpers` module shared across files
so the random-input generators stay consistent.
