Comprehension Gate Function (Definition 6, Eq. 6-7 in cgae.tex)
Implements the weakest-link gate: f(R) = T_k where k = min(g1(CC), g2(ER), g3(AS))
Each g_i is a monotonically non-decreasing step function mapping robustness scores to tier indices.
Tier thresholds are configurable per-dimension. The gate function produces discrete
tier assignments from continuous robustness vectors.
