Khalim Conn-Kowlessar a5b7310911 feat(epc-prediction): recency-weighted mode for roof insulation (ADR-0029/0030)
Investigated recency-weighting (weight cohort votes by an exponential decay
in cert age). Key finding: it must be SELECTIVE. On the validation corpus it
HURTS permanent categoricals (wall 91.2->89.5, age 78.5->75.7 — discards
still-valid data) but clearly HELPS time-varying ones, where a recent
neighbour reflects the current physical state:
  roof_insulation_thickness  56.7 -> 60.7%  corpus   (+4pp)
                             29.4 -> 41.2%  fixture  (+12pp)

So apply a recency-weighted mode only to roof_insulation_thickness (loft
top-ups happen over time); keep the plain mode for permanent categoricals.
tau = 4yr (~2.8yr half-life); falls back to plain mode when no registration
dates are lodged. Gate floor ratcheted 0.2941 -> 0.4118.
