+Comprehensive test suite for the Phase 6 LightGBM reranker pipeline.
+
+Tests:
+  1. DATA QUALITY — Are features correctly computed? Label distribution sensible?
+  2. MODEL LEARNING — Does LightGBM learn actual signal or just memorize noise?
+  3. FAIR COMPARISON — LightGBM vs heuristic on identical data
+  4. PROD READINESS — Latency, model size, error handling, edge cases
+  5. FEATURE ANALYSIS — Which features matter? Do zero-filled features cause issues?
+  6. HONEST VERDICT — Is this actually better for ResearchIT?
