Design a harder long-context or retrieval-style needle probe that still has a usable FP16 baseline.
Goal:
- Probe whether quantization fragility appears in context-depth stress without relying on a ceiling baseline.
Acceptance criteria:
- Add probe generation and validation code without mutating frozen probe sets.
- Verify FP16 calibration before using it in headline comparisons.
- Document scorer limitations and avoid claims from weak/floor/ceiling baselines.
