Add empirical validation test for Harmonizer metrics
Creates scripts/empirical_validation.py that tests whether Harmonizer
metrics correlate with real technical debt indicators from git history:
- Analyzes 51 Python files with git history
- Correlates LJPW dimensions with fix ratio, churn, and commits
- Results: 75% of correlations match expected direction (STRONG VALIDATION)
Key findings:
- Complexity (P) vs Churn: +0.449 correlation (complex files change more)
- Voltage vs Total Commits: +0.468 correlation (active files have more energy)
- Abstraction (W) vs Fix Ratio: -0.234 correlation (docs reduce bugs)
- Structure (J) vs Fix Ratio: -0.347 correlation (structure reduces bugs)1 parent c6bbd70 commit 68f4bcc
