phase1_reproduce.py — Reproduce and validate published Beale cipher analyses.

Validates:
  1. B2 decode against known plaintext
  2. Gillogly alphabetical strings in B1
  3. Full stats battery comparison across B1, B2, B3
  4. Last-digit base-dependence (Wase 2020)
  5. Homophone utilization analysis

Generates:
  - Comparison table (stdout)
  - Benford comparison plot (benford_comparison.png)
  - Last-digit comparison plot (last_digit_comparison.png)
  - Homophone utilization chart (homophone_util.png)
