Implement the core MEND mechanism: a module duplication mutation that copies a hidden node with all its incoming and outgoing connections. This is the single addition MEND makes to standard NEAT. - ModuleDuplication: JAX-compatible operator using jax.lax.scan - CombinedMutation: composes DefaultMutation + ModuleDuplication - DefaultGenome: accepts duplication_rate parameter - Tests for standalone duplication, combined mutation, and rate=0 no-op Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
