Differential-adhesion sorting

Quantitative claim

Two lineages expressing one cadherin at two levels sort from a random mix; the more cohesive lineage is engulfed into an interior core wrapped by a low-cohesion shell.

This reproduction runs as an automated quantitative check in the CI test suite. If the result drifts out of tolerance, the build fails.
