Lift sparse population-density tail cases

[SonAIengine]

Summary

• add a narrow population-density fallback for sparse calculate_density operation names
• cover the case where duplicate BFCL operation names leave the indexed description less specific than the expected tool use
• update the research docs with the 0.26 deterministic retrieval gate status

Results

• deterministic BFCL recall@5: 0.95000 -> 0.95200
• deterministic BFCL all-tools@5: 0.928 -> 0.930
• deterministic BFCL MRR: 0.8305 -> 0.8325
• deterministic BFCL NDCG@5: 0.8509 -> 0.8529
• hard-case count: 72 -> 70
• expected_present_below_top_k issue count: 59 -> 57
• case-level recall changes: improved 2, worsened 0
• X2BEE scale acceptance: pass, 1084 unique tools, hit@3=1.00, selector exact@3=1.00, avg candidates=2.16, max candidates=7, avg latency=39.50ms

This reaches the 0.26 deterministic retrieval gates: recall@5 >= 0.95 and retrieval_miss <= 70.
