mrbeandev defeb41f74 Fix detection accuracy: replace wrong carrier frequencies with empirically verified ones ...

The hardcoded carrier positions (48,0), (96,0), (0,88) etc. had low phase
coherence on actual Gemini images (~0.16-0.55). Detection was 80% on
reference images with 100% false positive rate on non-watermarked images.

Root cause analysis across 291 watermarked + 16 non-watermarked images
revealed:

1. The watermark is content-adaptive — dark images use diagonal-grid
   carriers at (±3,±4), (±5,±3) etc. while white images use horizontal-
   axis carriers at (0,±7), (0,±8), (0,±9) etc.

2. Both sets have >0.95 intra-set phase coherence and >0.5 discriminative
   gap vs non-watermarked images.

3. Previous metrics (noise correlation, structure ratio bounds, raw carrier
   magnitude) had heavy overlap between watermarked and non-watermarked
   content images and were not discriminative.

Changes:
- Replace carrier list with empirically verified dark + white carrier sets
- Add per-set reference phase templates to codebook (carrier_refs)
- Rewrite detect_array to try both carrier sets and take best phase match
- Use phase agreement as primary signal (WM: 0.92-0.99 vs non-WM: 0.47-0.71)
- Add noise-domain carrier-vs-random ratio as supporting signal
- Skip expensive multi-scale consistency computation (phase match is decisive)

Results on full dataset:
- Watermarked:     99.0% detection (was ~80%)
- Non-watermarked: 0% false positives (was 100%)
- Overall:         98.7% accuracy (was ~80% with no FP testing)
