"""
Eval: XGBoost price forecaster accuracy on synthetic training data.
Uses `generate_training_data()` to produce a deterministic 12-month price
history for all mandi/commodity pairs, trains the standalone XGBoost
model, then measures:
- Temporal 80/20 train/test split MAE/RMSE at 7/14/30 day horizons
- Directional accuracy (up/flat/down classification)
- No NaNs or implausible values in the prediction output
Skips gracefully if xgboost is not installed.
