+"""B3/WO64 stage 3 — the SadeedDiac-25 protocol eval for the r8 stage-2
+student (run-080-r8-stage2/eps[-1]).
+
+Loads the SadeedDiac-25 test paragraphs, decodes with the stage-2
+checkpoint (single-row greedy, the 512-step contract cap), writes the
+predictions JSONL, and scores DER-CE via sadeedbench (the protocol
+package). Env: E_RUN (default run-080-r8-stage2), E_N (max paragraphs,
+default all).
