"""
C4: Out-of-Sample Prediction with Temporal Cross-Validation
Governance Topology Project

Tests the thesis's predictive claims using strict temporal splits:
1. Train pre-2010, test 2010-2025
2. Train pre-2015, test 2015-2025
3. Rolling 5-year window (train [t-20,t], predict t+5)

Evaluates:
a. AR(1) prediction: RMSE, MAE, R², vs naive baseline
b. Zone classification: accuracy, precision, recall, confusion matrix
c. Stage transition prediction: calibration, Brier score
d. Calibration curves: predicted vs actual probabilities

Uses ONLY Python stdlib.
