fix(eval): support spline smoothing for small sweeps

[edgeai1]

Purpose

Fix performance plotting when a sweep has only two or three successful data points. SciPy's default cubic
UnivariateSpline requires at least four points and otherwise raises ValueError: m must be > k.

Tests

• tests/unit/scripts/test_perf_utils.py — 26 passed
• Verified 2-, 3-, and 4-point inputs on Python 3.10 / SciPy 1.8

Checklist

• Purpose and test results are provided.
• No documentation update is necessary.
• I have reviewed the change.

I have filled in:

• The purpose of the PR, such as "Fix some issue (link existing issues this PR will resolve)".
• The test plan/results, such as providing test command and pasting the results.
• (Optional) The necessary documentation update.
• I (a human) have written or reviewed the code in this pr to the best of my ability.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

smooth_curve now selects a spline degree based on the input size. Unit tests verify that two- and three-point sweeps produce 300 smoothed x and y points.

Changes

Curve smoothing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Adaptive spline degree and small-sweep validation scripts/evaluate/perf_utils.py, tests/unit/scripts/test_perf_utils.py	smooth_curve uses a spline degree of min(3, len(x) - 1). Parameterized tests verify two- and three-point inputs and 300-point outputs.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ecc67

This change enables smoothing for two- and three-point evaluation sweeps, but the new tests could accept invalid curve data that would lead to incorrect plots or derived evaluation results. The risk is bounded but should be addressed before relying on this coverage.

- Around line 74-75: Strengthen the test for smooth_curve by asserting x_smooth
and y_smooth contain only finite values, x_smooth is ordered, and its endpoints
span the input x range. Add a deterministic assertion capturing the expected
smoothed y behavior, while retaining the existing length checks and covering the
relevant edge case introduced by this path.
