The round comparison was about to be wrong. levels/campaign-50-r2.json was
copied from levels/campaign-50.json to preserve "the set round 2 played", but
select-50 writes that path in place and several selection experiments ran
between the round and the copy. The file kept 28 of the 50 boards round 2 had
actually played and 46 of round 3's — so the comparison was scoring one round
against another round's levels, and it read as round 3 regressing.
Runs store the whole board and its campaign index, so a round is its own record
and cannot drift. round-set.mjs rebuilds it, the report uses that, and the
snapshot file is gone rather than left lying around looking authoritative.
With the rounds correctly matched, round 3 is not a regression and not an
improvement: back band 2.17 against round 2's 2.39, on a rating that retests at
0.55, which is not enough to separate seventeen levels. The report says that
rather than picking whichever reading flatters the change.
