Enum: AlgorithmCompositionMode

How an included algorithm is composed with the outer algorithm. Determines whether the inner algorithm’s update rules are merged into the same loop (combined) or run as a converging inner loop on each outer iteration (nested).

  combined:
    text: combined
    description: The included algorithm's update rules are merged into the outer loop
      and applied ONCE per outer iteration (1:1). Use when both algorithms update
      at the same cadence on the same observations. This is the default.
  nested:
    text: nested
    description: The included algorithm runs as a full inner loop on EACH outer iteration,
      re-converging before the outer update rules are applied. Use when the inner
      algorithm maintains an invariant the outer one would otherwise perturb — e.g.
      FIC holding the E-I working point (mean S_e = 0.25) while EIB retunes per-edge
      coupling. The outer update's validity depends on that invariant, so the inner
      loop must re-settle it between every outer step.
