decode_secondaries's stick-breaking only guarantees valid secondary slots
sum to <= e_sec, leaving a shortfall that rollout.py silently dumped into
that step's edep. Rescale the valid slots by one common per-row factor
instead, so they sum to exactly e_sec whenever n_sec > 0: this spreads any
shortfall proportionally across all secondaries rather than concentrating
it in whichever slot is last by energy rank (which would let that one
low-energy secondary balloon and distort the shower's topology). Rows
where every valid slot decodes to ~zero fall back to an even split.
n_sec == 0 rows are unchanged (still nothing to carry the budget, so
rollout.py's edep top-up still applies there) — narrowed the related
caveat in load_rollout_vs_truth's docstring to just that case.
