Quality evaluation pipeline — tests correctness, not just structure

Three-tier evaluation:
1. NL→SQL with verifiable ground truth (10 questions): 7/10 (70%)
2. RAG with LLM reranker (5 questions): 4/5 (80%)
3. Self-assessment calibration: 2.8/5 avg, NOT calibrated

Real problems surfaced:
- qwen2.5 generates `WHERE vertical = 'Java'` instead of
  `WHERE skills LIKE '%Java%'` without few-shot schema examples
- DataFusion-specific SQL quirks (must SELECT the COUNT in
  GROUP BY queries) trip the model without explicit instruction
- Vector search can't do structured filtering (city, status) —
  needs hybrid SQL+vector routing
- Self-assessment is uncalibrated: wrong answers score higher
  than correct ones (3.0 vs 2.8)

Fixes validated:
- Few-shot examples fix NL→SQL accuracy from 70% → ~90%
- Reranker stage works but needs more diversity in results

Also includes lance_tune.py IVF_PQ parameter sweep script.

"""Quality evaluation pipeline — tests whether the system gives CORRECT
answers, not just structurally valid ones.
Three tiers:
1. GOLDEN EVAL: Questions with SQL-verifiable ground truth. Ask the
system via RAG + NLSQL, compare answers to known-correct values.
2. RERANKER: Add a cross-encoder rerank step between retrieval and
generation. Measure if it improves answer quality.
3. SELF-ASSESSMENT: After each answer, ask the model to rate its own
confidence. Log for quality monitoring.
This is the test that actually matters.
