face_monochromatic_pairs: investigate (|S|, # pent F_k) joint distribution

experiments/check_S_vs_pent_Fk.py: joint distribution of |S| and
# pentagonal F_k (= count of n_i, n_{i+1}, n_{i+3} = 5, i.e.
"visible" pent F_k via flank/merged faces).

Across all 142,812 chord-apex+Kempe colourings:

  - |S| = 0 dominates: 73.9% have full coverage.
  - For |S| = 2, 4, 6, 8: distribution of visible pent F_k spans 0-3
    with no clean monotone trend.
  - |S| = 12, 14 cases NEVER have visible = 0 (= 0 occurrences in
    the 0-column for these |S| values).
  - The 30 special "|S|=8 hit=8" cases all have full p_G = 11 (= all
    5 of v's neighbours degree ≥ 6), not just visible = 0.

So the obvious |S| ↔ # pent F_k coupling doesn't hold uniformly.
The "|S|=8 hit=8 ⇒ p_G = 11" empirical fact is specific to the
conjunction (high |S| + high hit), not to |S| alone.

For a structural proof of "|S|=8 + hit=8 ⇒ p_G = 11", we'd need a
deep Kempe-cycle-structural argument that hitting 8 G'-pentagons
with an 8-vertex S-cycle requires specific local geometry around v.

"""Empirical investigation: for each chord-apex+Kempe colouring (NOT
restricted to bad ones), correlate |S| = |V \\ (V(K_b) V(K_c))|
with the number of pentagonal F_k adjacent to F_v in the parent G'.
Hypothesis (from the |S|=8 hit=8 finding): there's a coupling where
larger |S| forces fewer pentagonal F_k.
Concretely: for each colouring, record:
- |S|
- # pentagonal F_k (= # of v's 5 neighbours in G with degree 5)
- # G'-pentagons hit by S (when applicable)
Aggregate the joint distribution.
