fix(test): the ingestion-order property was comparing two truncated fits

`ingestion_order_does_not_change_the_answer` failed with a 1.2e-6 gap in
mu and read as a violation of the invariant. It was not. Both sides ran
`max_iter: 200` against `epsilon: 1e-10`, and the batched side stopped
at the cap with a step of 3.4e-9 — so the test compared two fits that
had not converged and attributed the difference to ingestion order.

Raised to 20_000, at which both converge and the property holds. Runtime
is unchanged at 0.05s, because converging is what the iterations were
for.

The test now asserts `report.converged` on both sides before comparing.
That is the part worth keeping: any test that compares two fits for
equality is measuring truncation unless it first establishes that both
reached a fixed point. `ingestion_equivalence.rs` already did this;
`properties.rs` did not.

Found because c12bc83 made `ConvergenceReport` `#[must_use]`, which is
the same failure #50 describes — a short fit is wrong by a little and
looks entirely plausible. The blanket `let _ =` that commit applied to
78 call sites was too blunt here: binding the report to `_` silenced the
one signal that would have caught this, in a test whose whole purpose is
to compare two fits.
