Final research-integrity check
- Classical majority / TF-IDF results are labeled dataset v1.1.0.
- Gemma zero-shot / few-shot / QLoRA results are labeled dataset v1.0.0.
- Within Gemma v1.0, few-shot is strongest and QLoRA doesn't beat it.
- Cross-version classical-vs-Gemma values are descriptive, not a controlled same-benchmark ranking.
- No additional model reruns are required for this capstone.
