Pure compare_prediction (TDD): wall-construction classification hit + signed
residuals on floor area, window count, total window area, building-parts count.
Plus validate_epc_prediction.py (IO plumbing): drops each cert from its postcode
cohort, predicts from the rest on guaranteed inputs only, aggregates the metrics,
and reports SAP three ways (pred-calc vs lodged / vs calc-on-actual / vs the
neighbour-mean baseline). Smoke run: wall 90.9%, floor-area mean|·| 42.6 m2 (a
real signal — template-copied floor area is noisy), SAP pred-calc edges baseline.
