Khalim Conn-Kowlessar be3e51bae9 feat(epc-prediction): geo-proximity-weighted floor-area median
Size the predicted dwelling from the geo-proximity-weighted median of the
cohort's floor areas rather than the plain median: homes built together share a
footprint, so a nearer neighbour's area should count for more (the same street
signal #1227 already wired into age / wall / glazing). Reuses `_geo_weights` and
adds `_weighted_median`, which reduces exactly to `statistics.median` under
uniform weights (geo off / no target coordinates) — including the even-count
midpoint average — so the MAD-minimising guarantee is preserved.

Measured over the 514-target SAP-10.2 corpus (leave-one-out):
  floor_area MAE  10.48 -> 9.73 m²   MAPE 13.2% -> 12.2%

Re-baselines the n=36 fixture floor_area ceiling 11.8983 -> 12.0378 (a method
change, not a loosening; the small fixture subset moved +0.14 the other way as
sample noise while the population improved decisively). The ceiling still pins
the new deterministic value exactly, so the tighten-only ratchet resumes.

Investigation ruling out the adjacent floor-area levers (kept in the follow-up):
lowering minimum_cohort (9.78-10.03, worse), hard same-form filter (10.19),
mean instead of median (10.68), constant bias correction (10.47),
extension-conditioning (oracle 9.50, not worth the misclassification cost) and
room-in-roof conditioning/additive (RiR is a confound for large multi-part
outliers — RiR area is only ~21% of total, and the increment breaks the homes
already predicted exactly). Remaining cohort lever is built-form soft-weighting,
gated on a denser corpus.

"""Tier-1 ratcheting Component Accuracy gate (ADR-0030).
Runs the calculator-free leave-one-out scorer over the committed, anonymised
fixture and asserts each per-component classification rate / geometry residual is
no worse than a committed baseline. Because the prediction is deterministic and
the fixture is frozen, every run reproduces the same numbers exactly — so a
failure means a real *regression* in prediction quality, never sample noise.
The floors / ceilings are the currently-measured values and only ever **tighten**
(the repo's no-tolerance-widening ethos applied to an aggregate): when prediction
improves, ratchet the relevant floor up in the same change. The end-to-end
SAP / carbon / PE guards are deliberately *not* here — they need the calculator,
whose API-path residual is a separate workstream; the component floors are the
real gate (ADR-0030).
