Backtest Model (Hindsight Check)

Score the previous dataset version with the model’s CURRENT version and compare against the labels that later materialized — a hindsight check (‘would have caught’), never a forward guarantee.

Returns 409 when ineligible (single dataset version, no label column, clustering/factors task, or the pair was already backtested). Only one backtest runs per model at a time; a concurrent request returns the in-flight job with deduplicated: true.
