Should resolve #541
The Mixture node performs model comparison via scale factors, so its contribution to the Bethe Free Energy (BFE) is not well-defined.
To avoid runtime errors and make BFE computations robust, we now define a placeholder @average_energy method for Mixture that:
This ensures that global BFE evaluation does not fail when mixtures are present, while still alerting users that the term is undefined conceptually.
