Before the per-GPU compute phases, run `dcgmi diag -r targeted_power`
for 45 s while collecting nvidia-smi power metrics in parallel.
The p95 power per GPU is stored as calibrated_peak_power_w and used
as the denominator for PowerSustainScore instead of the hardware default
limit, which bee-gpu-burn cannot reach because it is compute-only.
Fallback chain: calibrated peak → default limit → enforced limit.
If dcgmi is absent or the run fails, calibration is skipped silently.
Adjust composite score weights to match the new honest power reference:
base 0.35, thermal 0.25, stability 0.25, power 0.15, NCCL bonus 0.10.
Power weight reduced (0.20→0.15) because even with a calibrated reference
bee-gpu-burn reaches ~60-75% of TDP by design (no concurrent mem stress).
