=========================
Task 5 β€” Component 7: Generate fairness_report.md
Produces a detailed markdown report summarising:
1. Toxicity statistics (rate, mean score, per-label breakdown)
2. Bias audit results (demographic table, most flagged captions)
3. Mitigation effectiveness (before/after score tables)
4. Concrete examples of flagged + mitigated captions
5. Actionable recommendations
