"""
Walk-forward evaluation.
From each origin (every ORIGIN_STEP_DAYS from FIRST_ORIGIN), each model sees the
data up to that day only and forecasts every horizon. Each forecast whose target
date has been observed is scored against what happened.
Development runs load data only up to DEV_CUTOFF, so outcomes after it cannot
influence model design. The holdout run scores only targets after DEV_CUTOFF.
