fix: add synthetic data fallback when training-data not available

- If training-data/final/train.jsonl missing, creates synthetic 1K sample dataset
- Ensures notebook works on fresh Kaggle clone without large dataset
- Uses input_path key correctly for train_lora.py
- Simpler, more robust error handling
