Implement the RECAP advantage scoring module as a new phase in
lerobot-annotate. Uses a frozen distributional VF to compute per-frame
advantages, binarizes into positive/negative indicators with per-task
threshold, and writes style=advantage persistent rows for policy
conditioning. Skips VF inference on intervention frames as an optimization.

* fix(datasets): enforce one parquet row group per episode in v3 data writes
LeRobot v3 data shards must hold exactly one row group per episode so a
reader can fetch episode i with pq.ParquetFile(path).read_row_group(i)
(a byte-range read) instead of loading the whole shard. The recording
writer already does this (one write_table per episode); the aggregate
and lerobot-annotate re-write paths instead concatenated many episodes
and wrote them in one shot, collapsing the file to a single row group.
- io_utils: add write_table_one_row_group_per_episode (one ParquetWriter,
one write_table per episode — same pattern as the recording writer);
to_parquet_with_hf_images embeds images then writes per-episode row
groups; to_parquet_one_row_group_per_episode wraps it for plain frames
- aggregate: route non-image data writes through the per-episode writer;
leave the episodes-metadata parquet untouched (already one row/episode)
- annotate: rewrite shards via the per-episode writer instead of a single
bulk pq.write_table
- tests: invariant coverage through the aggregate (image + video) and
annotate paths
No change to on-disk schema, paths, naming, rollover thresholds, or
compression. Readers stay backward-compatible (old collapsed files load).

* fix(datasets): correct indentation and add strict= in row-group helper
The web-edited numpy version of write_table_one_row_group_per_episode had an
over-indented line (IndentationError, breaking pre-commit + test collection)
and a zip() without strict=. Fix both; behaviour unchanged.

Steerable annotation pipeline (lerobot-annotate) that populates the language_persistent and language_events columns introduced in PR 1 (#3467) directly into data/chunk-*/file-*.parquet.
This is PR 2 of the three-PR plan:
PR 1 (Add extensive language support #3467): schema + DSL + rendering, base of this PR
PR 2 (this PR): annotation pipeline writing into PR 1's columns
PR 3: model with language prediction and runtime
A VLM (Qwen-VL family, served on vLLM) watches each episode's video and emits grounded language annotations: subtasks, plans, memory, task rephrasings, interjections + speech, and per-camera VQA. The pipeline is built for production annotation at scale — single-camera grounding, embedded-frame inputs, a describe-then-segment grounding flow, and a deterministic full-episode coverage guarantee — informed by Scale's dense-captioning findings (representation > sampling, rules > reasoning, model capacity is the biggest lever, two-pass systems compound errors)
