"""Scores a predicted GFF3 against a reference the way the NTv3 benchmark did.
Tiberius / BRAKER-style (Gabriel et al. 2024): a CDS is correct if chromosome,
start, end, strand and phase all match; a gene is correct if its whole set of CDS
matches a reference gene. Reference genes are restricted to those the NTv3
training labels keep, predicted genes below 201 nt of CDS are dropped, and
predicted CDS in pseudogene regions away from reference genes are ignored.
Standard library only, so it runs anywhere the notebook does.
