active_learning.py
==================
Simplified Active Learning loop for the LSTM-Autoencoder.

Strategy: uncertainty sampling near the decision boundary. Sessions with reconstruction error close to the threshold are the most uncertain - these get queued for human review.
The human labels them as normal (0) or attack (1). Labels are used to refine the threshold without retraining. This implements the "Human-in-the-Loop" component described in the research proposal <need to add reference>. #TODO
