feat(loop): 3 iterations complete — autoresearch chain end-to-end (closes #11 Phase A)

3 iterations ran unattended on koala (agent=berget/gemma4-31b, GPU=RTX5070):
  iter1: val_vol_r2 0.2821→0.3749 (+9.3%) KEEP  [EMBED_DIM 16→64]
  iter2: 0.2234→0.3011 (+7.8%) KEEP  [MASK_FRAC tuning]
  iter3: 0.3011→0.3032 (+0.2%) KEEP  [minor capacity tweak]
Final EMBED_DIM=64, MASK_FRAC=0.4. STATUS.md tracks full trajectory.
Both monitoring axes live: research=STATUS.md metric table, technical=GPU
snapshot per iter (0% util between runs, shared cleanly w/ llama-swap).
Phase-A acceptance: loop runs 3+ iters unattended, metric moves, both axes visible.
