int_lap_normalized_pace

Phase C: lap pace with the dirty-air cost removed, so laps run in traffic stay usable for wear/cliff fitting instead of being discarded.

Part of the Physics family.

Phase C: lap pace with the dirty-air cost removed, so laps run in traffic stay usable for wear/cliff fitting instead of being discarded. normalized_pace_s = lap_time_s - theta_time * time_in_dirty_air_s, with theta_time calibrated on clean, dry, valid laps and applied to the full lap sequence. Neither a tow term nor a fixed in-traffic step is applied; both were measured against the phase’s acceptance metric and made it worse (see the model header for the numbers). One row per lap carried by int_lap_air_state. Deliberately a graph leaf, consumed only by the offline cliff solver: feeding normalized pace into the ratings/residual chain would double-count the dirty-air component already modelled in int_lap_residual_decomposed.

Columns

Column	Type	Nullable	Tests	Description
lap_id		Yes	not_null, unique	Foreign key to stg_laps
normalized_pace_s		Yes	expect_column_values_to_be_between, expect_column_values_to_be_between	Lap time net of the dirty-air penalty. Null only where lap_time_s itself is null (untimed lap); the solver filters those out rather than having a pace fabricated for them.
dirty_air_penalty_s		Yes	not_null, expect_column_values_to_be_between	theta_time * time_in_dirty_air_s, bounded [0, 5.0] (same clamp as int_dirty_air_tax_component’s dirty_air_tax_s). Zero on clean-air laps by construction.
