Research direction

Locate PreferenceBase and FusedLinearCrossEntropy in the Python code and read how softcapping is currently handled in the latter. Determine the intended PreferenceBase API and behavior from the surrounding implementation; the work is complete when PreferenceBase supports softcapping natively with corresponding verification in the existing test suite.
