feat(training-probes): re-measure the R49 name pool under the Qwen3 tokenizer

brokkr-smithy flagged that R49 F02's name-pool token splits were measured with the
Qwen3.5-2B tokenizer, so the dense-Qwen3 carrier ruling invalidates them. Measured
rather than left on their critical path; handed over as input to their re-check,
since the dictionary and the adjudication are theirs.

The multi-token property strengthens on the chosen carrier: pool multi-token
88.0% -> 90.3%, mean tokens 2.33 -> 2.46. A smaller vocabulary fragments more, so
Qwen3's 151,936 splits names into more pieces than Qwen3.5's 248,320. The operator's
requirement that names be multi-token, so the drafter reconstructs them from the
prefix instead of recalling one embedding, is better served after the ruling.

Positive control: the Qwen3.5 column reproduces F02's published figure on the same
pool and tokenizer (F02 89% / mean 2.35; here 88.0% / 2.33), so the instrument
recovers a known-true value before being asked about an unknown one. The pool is
deduped across locales, which reconciles male_given and female_given exactly
against the dictionary's own totals block.

R49 name-pool token-split re-measurement after the dense-Qwen3 carrier ruling.
Run 2026-09-09 23:2x PT on pfi-gx10 via scripts/training-probes/tokenize_name_pool.py
against brokkr-smithy research/R49-author-voice-adapters/tools/name_dictionary.json
(unmodified). Names tokenized with a leading space. Pool DEDUPED across locales,
which reconciles with the dictionary's own `totals` block: male_given 5,339 and
female_given 5,226 match exactly.
dictionary totals block: {"male_given": 5339, "female_given": 5226,
"surnames_neutral": 11840, "surnames_gendered_pairs": 3,
"ambiguous_dropped": 167}
deduped measured : {"male_given": 5339, "female_given": 5226,
"surnames": 13549} sum 24114
(surnames differs because this unions surnames_male/surnames_female in as well.)

READ: the multi-token property STRENGTHENS on the dense carrier, 88.0% -> 90.3%,
mean 2.33 -> 2.46. A smaller vocabulary fragments more, so Qwen3's 151,936 splits
names into more pieces than Qwen3.5's 248,320. The operator's requirement --
multi-token names forcing reconstruction from the prefix rather than recall of one
embedding -- is better served after the ruling, not worse.
POSITIVE CONTROL: the Qwen3.5 column reproduces R49 F02's published figure for the
same pool on the same tokenizer (F02: 89% multi-token, mean 2.35; here: 88.0%,
2.33). Within a point on both, so the instrument recovers a known-true value
before being asked about an unknown one.

"""Re-measure the R49 name pool's token-split distribution under a given tokenizer.
The pool's multi-token property is an operator requirement -- multi-token names
force the drafter to reconstruct a name from the prefix rather than recall it as
one embedding. F02 measured that property with the Qwen3.5-2B tokenizer; the
carrier ruling moved the sweep to Qwen3, whose vocabulary is a different size, so
the property has to be re-measured rather than assumed to carry over.
Names are tokenized with a leading space, matching how they appear mid-sentence.
