Task Objective:
Re-challenge the mathematical curve with the 0.35 factor fix:
1. Run the challenge harness:
   `python .agents/teamwork/challenger_m1_progression_1/challenge_exp_curve.py`
2. Verify that all 7 checks pass, and specifically Check 3 (Level 99->100 Delta EXP Ratio):
   - `ratio_vs_98 = 35.000000%` (must be >= 30.0%)
   - `ratio_vs_lifetime = 25.925926%` (must be in [25.0%, 35.0%])
   - `OVERALL EMPIRICAL VERDICT: APPROVED`
3. Document empirical challenge in `c:\Projects\FreeExile\.agents\teamwork\challenger_m1_progression_1_gen2\report.md` and `handoff.md`.
4. State verdict: APPROVE or REQUEST_CHANGES. Notify parent via `send_message`.
