Evaluate Real-Time Chunking (RTC) performance on dataset samples.



This script takes two random samples from a dataset:

- Uses actions from the first sample as previous chunk

- Generates new actions for the second sample with and without RTC



It compares action predictions with and without RTC on dataset samples,

measuring consistency and ground truth alignment.
