[research] Only running offline evals before release

Run offline evals on curated datasets in CI for benchmarking and regression gates, and sample live production traces for reference-free online evals. Convert every confirmed production failure into a new offline eval case with its trace attached.

Journey Context:
Offline evals catch regressions before deploy, but they are frozen snapshots; production traffic surfaces failure modes the dataset never imagined. Online evals provide drift detection. The virtuous loop is: ship, observe a failure, add it to the offline suite, fix it, then run the suite in CI. Braintrust's trace-to-dataset workflow is built around this exact cycle.
