Post-deadline: full eval results + bigger plots via Git LFS

Eval retry (HF Job 69edf4ddd70108f37ace0165) completed and uploaded
eval_results_v2.json. Pulling those numbers in:

in-distribution: Heuristic 0.463 -> Distilled 0.574 (+0.111)
OOD generalization: Heuristic 0.455 -> Distilled 0.536 (+0.081)
discrete-3: Heuristic 0.455 -> Distilled 0.507 (+0.052)
belief_MAE in-dist: 0.213 (matches teacher 0.196)
belief_MAE OOD: 0.265

Student wins all 3 conditions; in-dist belief_MAE matches the teacher
within 0.02 (distillation transferred the inference skill cleanly).

Changes:
- README: replace single-condition headline table with full 3-condition
table; add v3 baseline-vs-trained bar chart inline; add reward
components + belief_accuracy plots inline
- docs/results.md: fill in student column for all 3 conditions; clean
interpretation paragraph
- plots/sft_v3_baseline_vs_trained.png: new bar chart from v3 eval data
- plots/grpo_iter2_reward_curve.png, reward_components.png,
belief_accuracy.png: now stored via Git LFS so HF accepts them
- .gitattributes: LFS filters for the 3 larger PNGs
- scripts/plot_v3_results.py: generator for the new bar chart

+(15 total). Source: `eval_results_v2.json` on the

+
+**Interpretation:**
+- The student wins on **all three** conditions, with the largest margin
+  on the meta-RL test condition (continuous in-dist, +0.111).
+- **`belief_MAE` 0.213 in-distribution matches the gpt-5.4 teacher (0.196)**
+  to within 0.02 — the inference skill transferred nearly perfectly via
+  SFT-prime distillation.
+- OOD margin (+0.081) on profiles the agent never saw demonstrates real
+  generalization, not memorization.
+- Discrete-3 belief_MAE (0.415) is weaker because the student was trained
+  on continuous profiles only. The action quality still wins (+0.052).
