The teacher (Nemotron 3 Ultra on Nebius Token Factory) invents a small SQLite database per domain (tables, keys, sample
rows), then writes business questions with SQL answers. Each SQL is EXECUTED on that database and kept only when it is one
read-only SELECT that runs and returns 1 to 100 rows. The exam uses whole databases that never appear in training, and
some domains that never appear in training at all.
Writes train.jsonl, golden.jsonl (with "meta"), dbs.json (the exam's databases) and teacher_manifest.json to --out.
