E106: Character gallery: real vs. complex
```

**Tags:** `number-theory`, `dirichlet-characters`, `visualization`, `multiplicative`

## Highlights

- Focused numeric experiment with a small set of figures.
- Parameters saved to `params.json` for reproducibility.
- Defaults are chosen, so the experiment remains feasible for the CI “slow” suite.

## What is computed

- Compare value-sets of Dirichlet characters and count real-valued characters.

## Notes

- This page summarizes the intent; see the generated `report.md` in `out/` for concrete outputs.

## Published run snapshot

If this experiment is included in the docs gallery, include the published snapshot (report + params).
