"""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.
