SkyDiscover/evox

# EvoX — faithful port of SkyDiscover's EvoX (CoEvolutionController) defaults (the reference
# implementation; it is the ground truth wherever it diverges from the paper).
# Sections mirror the six core components, plus `meta` for the strategy co-evolution loop.

# NOTE (deviations from the upstream config surface):
# - upstream `share_llm` is not exposed: galapagos scaffolds carry ONE model, so the meta loop and
#   the guide calls always share the run's model (the share_llm: true behaviour).
# - upstream `database_file_path`/`evaluation_file`/`config_path` are not exposed: the seed
#   strategy is bundled (seed_strategy.py) and Valid(·) is strategy.validate_strategy.
