"""Tests for TNFR Dissipative Conservation — Lindblad dynamics meets conservation.
Validates the dissipative continuity theorem extension:
∂ρ_s/∂t + div J = S_grammar + D[ρ]
Tests verify:
1. Snapshot capture: trace, purity, entropy computation
2. Dissipation bound correctness: |D[ρ]| ≤ Σ_k ‖L_k‖² · (1 - Tr(ρ²))
3. Purity monotonicity: Tr(ρ²) non-increasing under dissipation
4. Entropy monotonicity: S(ρ) non-decreasing under dissipation
5. Trace preservation: Tr(ρ) = 1 throughout evolution
6. Contractivity: distance to steady state non-increasing
7. Amplitude damping ground truth: known analytics
8. Pure dephasing ground truth: diagonal preservation
9. Dissipation rate analysis: spectral gap, relaxation time
10. Grammar classification: regime identification
