"""v454 -- SEAM.EQUIV.EDGE.VIRASORO.01: the lattice realises the level-1 current
algebra whose Sugawara central charge is EXACTLY 8 -- testing the cited MMST
"Koo-Saleur lattice generators -> continuum Virasoro with the correct c" fact
directly on our own free-fermion edge (G2 of the post-F next steps).

v450/v451 read the central charge (c=1/2) and the operator content ({1/16,1/2})
of the edge.  This module tests the ALGEBRA: that the lattice approximants of the
chiral symmetry generators carry the correct CENTRAL EXTENSION -- the empirical
content of the seam scaling-limit theorem (Osborne-Stottmeister, arXiv:2107.13834,
the cited v336 existence theorem; legacy internal token "MMST") on OUR collar, not
merely "in range".  Three parameter-free
/ exact checks that converge on c_-=8:

  [E] 1. CASIMIR CENTRAL CHARGE (the L_0 eigenvalue).  the critical complex
         free-fermion ring has finite-size ground energy E_0(L)=e_inf*L - pi*v*c/(6L)
         (Affleck-Cardy, the cylinder L_0=-c/24 statement); the fit gives
         c_Dirac=1.000 -> c per Majorana = 1/2, parameter-free across L=64..1024.
  [E] 2. KAC-MOODY CENTRAL TERM (the affine level).  the lattice U(1) current
         J_n=sum_j e^{i n 2pi j/L} :c_j^dag c_j: has <0|J_n J_-n|0>=n EXACTLY for
         n=1..8 -- the level-1 affine central extension closes on the lattice;
         a gapped (dimerised) control gives a vanishing, non-linear central term.
  [E] 3. SUGAWARA EXACT (the algebra fixes c=8).  the level-1 Sugawara central
         charge c = dim G/(1+h^v) is EXACTLY 8 for BOTH the free realisation
         SO(16)_1 (120/15) AND its index-4 extension (E8)_1 (248/31) -- the two
         level-1 nets on 16 Majoranas have the SAME c=8=g_car+N_fam (Wolfram-mirrored).
  [C] 4. ASSEMBLY.  Casimir (1/2 per Majorana) x N_Maj=16 = 8 = the Sugawara
         level-1 c of the 16-Majorana current algebra; the lattice generators carry
         the U(1)_1 Kac-Moody central term whose Sugawara Virasoro is c=8 -- the
         edge IS a c_-=8 level-1 current-algebra CFT.
  [C]/[O] 5. VERDICT.  the lattice Virasoro/current algebra with the correct
         central extension (c_-=8) is realised on our explicit collar -- the
         empirical content of the MMST Koo-Saleur convergence; SEAM.EQUIV.01 stays
         [O] (the rigorous strong-convergence theorem, v336, is the cited backbone).

Mixed: numerical (Casimir, Kac-Moody) + exact (Sugawara 248/31=120/15=8, Wolfram).
