"""Synthetic investigation scenario generator.

Produces a coherent offline + shadow dataset pair for models A (baseline) and
B (candidate) with a PLANTED root cause. The aggregate story is always the
same -- offline says B is ~+5pp better, shadow says B is ~-2pp worse -- but
the unit-level data carries the planted cause's downstream signatures, so the
diagnostic battery (not the generator) is what identifies the cause.

All randomness flows from a single seed (numpy default_rng), so scenarios are
deterministic and test-reproducible.
