"""Generate ABLATIONS_VNHN.md -- T2M-GPT and NSLP-G trained on processed_vnhn/Cut_video.

Numbers are read from the eval JSONs, never hand-typed (this project has twice been bitten
by a hand-made column). Re-run after adding runs to refresh the file.

Scope note: this is a MODEL COMPARISON with controls, not a hyper-parameter sweep. No
hyper-parameter ablation was run on vnhn, because the controls below show neither model
reads its conditioning text on this corpus -- tuning against a target that carries no
signal would produce a table of noise. The reasoning is recorded in the file itself.
