"""scripts/comparison_table.py - Literature comparison table generator.

Compliance Section 9 (audit, 2026-04): emit a Markdown table at
``results/comparison_table.md`` comparing the trained Qubit-Medic model
against:

* The untrained ``Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct`` baseline (loaded from
  ``--baseline-json`` written by ``scripts.eval --policy zeros`` or
  ``--policy random``, since the untrained model itself collapses to
  format failures).
* PyMatching v2 (Higgott & Gidney 2023, arXiv:2303.15933) reference
  LER ~ 3.0e-2 per cycle at distance-3, p=0.001 (the canonical decoder).
* AlphaQubit reference LER ~ 2.7e-2 per cycle at distance-3, p=0.001
  (Bausch et al., *Nature* 635:834, 2024,
  doi:10.1038/s41586-024-08148-8).

Inputs are JSON dumps written by ``scripts.eval``; the schema mirrors
``_summary()`` in that module. Required keys per file:

    {
      "name": str,
      "episodes": int,
      "logical_correction_rate": float,
      "pymatching_beat_rate": float,
      "format_compliance_rate": float,
      "exact_match_pymatching": float,
      "mean_total_reward": float,
      ... optionally "ler_per_round", "ler_per_round_log10", "level"
    }

Usage::

    # 1. Run model + baseline evals first
    python -m scripts.eval --adapter checkpoints/grpo/best \
        --episodes 1000 --out data/eval_grpo.json
    python -m scripts.eval --policy pymatching \
        --episodes 1000 --out data/eval_pymatching.json

    # 2. Build the comparison table
    python -m scripts.comparison_table \
        --eval-json data/eval_grpo.json \
        --baseline-json data/eval_pymatching.json \
        --output results/comparison_table.md
