Element signature utilities for TNFR physics analysis.
Provides signatures for element-like patterns using the Structural Field Tetrad. These signatures characterize element coherent attractors via physics metrics rather than prescriptive chemistry. All signature utilities are read-only telemetry and do not mutate EPI.
Development focus: Au (gold-like) emergence from TNFR nodal equation dynamics.

"""Compute the Structural Field Tetrad signature for an element-like pattern.
OPTIMIZED: Uses FFT-based spectral analysis for O(N log N) pattern detection.
Parameters
----------
G : nx.Graph
Graph with expected node attributes:
- phase/theta: float in [0, 2π)
- delta_nfr/dnfr: float (structural pressure)
- Optional: coherence (defaults to 1/(1+|ΔNFR|))
apply_synthetic_step : bool
If True, apply a minimal synthetic [AL, RA, IL] step to simulate
structural evolution; this allows for ΔΦ_s drift computation.
Returns
-------
dict

- xi_c: coherence length
- mean_phase_gradient: mean |∇φ| across nodes

- phi_s_before: structural potential before synthetic step
- phi_s_after: structural potential after synthetic step (if applied)
- phi_s_drift: |Δ Φ_s| between before/after (if applied)
- phase_gradient_ok: bool, |∇φ| < 0.196 (π/16 threshold)
- curvature_hotspots_ok: bool, max |K_φ| < 0.9×π ≈ 2.8274 (canonical threshold)
- coherence_length_category: str in {localized, medium, extended}
- signature_class: str, one of {stable, marginal, unstable}
Notes
-----
For Au (Z≈79) patterns, expect:
- Extended ξ_C (high spatial correlation)
- Low |∇φ| (phase synchrony)
- Moderate |K_φ| in acceptable range
- Bounded ΔΦ_s drift under synthetic evolution
