#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ build_testbed.py — assemble a candidate episode–gauge–watershed testbed package from public services, in the released package layout: /// watershed.geojson (NLDI contributing watershed) streamflow.csv (NWIS IV discharge, begin-24 h .. end+72 h) testbed_summary.json (window, gauge, provenance) Forcing can then be added with download_forcing.py. A package built this way is a CANDIDATE: it becomes comparable to the released benchmark testbeds only after the screening and quality-control criteria of the paper (Sect. 3.4) are applied — use code/pipeline for that.
