Retrain propagation ML on month-balanced HRRR → algorithm score

Replaces the two-phase (algorithm-scores pretrain + QSO-distance
finetune) pipeline with a single unbiased phase that samples
hrrr_profiles stratified uniformly by calendar month and trains on the
physical algorithm score from Scorer.composite_score/2.

Previous Phase 2 target was 'within-band distance percentile' computed
from the contacts table. Because non-contest months have almost no
QSOs, the model learned 'these conditions → QSO happened → good' and
implicitly 'no QSO → bad', so it systematically under-predicted
propagation during quiet months (Feb, Mar, Nov). The new pipeline
decouples the target from QSO activity entirely.

Stratification uses ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY month ORDER BY
random()) so every month contributes the same number of profile rows
regardless of contest-driven density. Each profile is exploded into
one training row per band.

Trained model: val RMSE=1.66 pts, R²=0.9744 on 840k rows (10k
profiles/month × 7 bands, 50 epochs). Monthly sanity check at fixed
weather conditions (10 GHz, 15°C/10°C) now shows Jan=Feb=Mar=68 — the
model no longer penalizes quiet months.

@shortdoc "Train propagation ML model from month-balanced HRRR + algorithm scores"
@moduledoc """
Two-phase ML training for propagation prediction using all available data:
Trains the propagation Nx/Axon model to predict the physical algorithm
score from weather conditions alone.
Phase 1 (pre-train): Learn broad atmospheric patterns from 500K+ algorithm
scores covering all seasons, times, and locations across CONUS. Joined to
solar indices and nearest sounding for stability indices.
## Why not use QSO outcomes as the target?
Phase 2 (fine-tune): Calibrate against real QSO outcomes (57K+ contacts
matched to HRRR + solar + sounding data). Target is within-band distance percentile.
An earlier version of this task fine-tuned on "within-band distance
percentile" from the `contacts` table. That target is structurally
biased: non-contest months (Feb, Mar, Nov) have almost no QSOs, so the
model learned "these conditions → QSO happened → good" and implicitly
"no QSO happened → bad." The result was a model that systematically
under-predicted propagation during months when nobody is on the air,
which is exactly the wrong thing for a forecast.
Features (20): atmospheric (temp, dewpoint, pressure, abs humidity, td depression,
refractivity gradient, HPBL, PWAT, surface refractivity), geographic (latitude),
solar (SFI, Kp max), HRRR-derived (ducting), sounding-derived (K-index,
lifted index), temporal (solar hour sin/cos, month sin/cos), frequency (log MHz).
This task instead:
1. Samples `hrrr_profiles` stratified *uniformly by calendar month*
every month contributes the same number of rows regardless of
contest-driven density. Contest months still exist in the data,
they just don't drown out the quiet months.
2. Joins each sample to `solar_indices` (same date) and the nearest
`soundings` row (±6 h) for K-index / lifted-index features.
3. Computes the target via `Scorer.composite_score/2` the *same*
physical scoring algorithm that `PropagationGridWorker` uses in
production. Sky / wind / rain fall back to neutral defaults
because `hrrr_profiles` doesn't store them; the model learns the
weather-only residual and the missing factors remain constant.
4. Trains on every band for every sampled profile, producing one
training row per (profile, band) pair.
