"""Independent native reproduction of PTBCC (OpenReview KJq0iScNM6).

The implementation follows equations (5)--(12) and the initialization printed
in arXiv:2508.02123.  It consumes the public, pinned crowd-label releases used
by the paper rather than copied paper tables or synthetic substitutes for the
registered real-data claims.

    "PTBCC's ablation over prototype set size |S| shows accuracy peaking at |S|=2 (0.7472) and degrading to 0.7300 at |S|=3 and 0.7271 at |S|=4 due to sparser per-prototype annotator distributions (Table 5).",
