Does 191 configurations saturate, or is the dataset badly under-sampled?

A marker will ask "would more data help?".  The project reports a single
accuracy number at one dataset size and cannot answer.  This builds a proper
learning curve.

PROTOCOL
--------
Outer loop is unchanged leave-one-application-out on ARCHER2: hold out one of
the eight applications entirely, train on the other seven, score the held-out
one with error = max(pred/actual, actual/pred).

Inside each fold the TRAINING set is subsampled to 25/50/75/100% before
fitting.  The test fold is never subsampled, so every point on the curve is
scored on exactly the same 191 configurations and the curve is directly
comparable across sizes.

Two subsampling schemes are run, because they answer different questions:

  random        draw a fraction of the training ROWS uniformly at random.
                Answers "would more points in the space I already cover help?"
                This is the optimistic reading: it keeps all seven training
                applications present, so it measures density, not coverage.

  by-application draw a fraction of the training APPLICATIONS (7, 5, 4, 2 for
                100/75/50/25%) and keep all their rows.  Answers "would more
                CODES help?", which is the question that actually matters for
                leave-one-application-out generalisation, and is the harder
                and more honest curve.

Each (fraction, scheme, model) point is repeated over 20 random draws, and the
per-repeat median error factors are summarised as a median with a percentile
bootstrap 95% CI.  A saturating curve means more data of that kind will not
help; a still-falling curve means the dataset is under-sampled.

The constant baseline is drawn as a horizontal reference, since it does not
depend on training-set size in any meaningful way (it is one number).
