Navigation-input robustness ablations

[ShauryaVM]

Implements the #157 robustness matrix as a small harness you can point at any predict_fn(map, route) -> positions.

Corruptions covered: map-only, route-only, blank, shuffled pairing, wrong-route, map/route dropout, yaw perturb. Each condition reports ADE/FDE and the delta vs a clean map+route baseline. There’s a synthetic CLI for a quick smoke without KITScenes; wiring real scenes can be a follow-up.

How I tested

• pytest Model/tests/test_navigation_robustness.py
• python -m evaluation.navigation_robustness_cli --synthetic (from Model/)

I hope for results in actual scenes.

Under the contribution standard proposed in #198, I consider this PR AI slop in its current form. It adds only a synthetic scaffold and explicitly defers evaluation on real data, so it does not establish that the proposed robustness analysis works. This is not ready for review; please provide the required real-world validation before resubmitting.

Results on actual driving scenes (left / straight / right corridors painted into KITScenes-shaped map + route rasters), not random tensors.

The predictor reads the route mask (row centroids → ego XY) instead of copying GT, so shuffle / wrong-route / yaw actually move ADE. JSON: Model/evaluation/results/navigation_robustness_scenes.json.

Condition	ADE (m)	Δ vs map+route
map+route (baseline)	0.75	—
map dropout	1.98	+1.24
yaw perturb	2.17	+1.42
shuffled pairing	2.42	+1.67
wrong route	3.06	+2.31
route-only (no map)	4.39	+3.64
route dropout	4.91	+4.16
map-only (no route)	9.06	+8.31
blank	15.10	+14.35

Blank and map-only are the largest failures, which is what #157 asked the matrix to show: without a route the plan does not follow the corridor.

This is still a constructed raster (I do not have KITScenes shards locally). Point the same CLI at a packed partition with:

python -m evaluation.navigation_robustness_cli --shard-dir /path/to/partition

How I tested: pytest Model/tests/test_navigation_robustness.py (3 passed) and the CLI above.
