…-", never keep a partial KL base

FrogNano, 2026-10-05: the box's disk filled while writing the KL base, so it stopped at chunk 109. Every rung then scored 109 chunks, failed reading chunk 109, and llama-perplexity -- which prints its summary only after the last chunk -- printed none. pollard-bench recorded null PPL, KLD and top-1 for three rungs and exited 0 with no reason.

_ppl_kl now prints llama-perplexity's own error lines (exit code + the failing line) whenever it exits non-zero or yields no metrics. Building the KL base, a non-zero exit or a disk left under 1 GB free (a full disk can still exit 0) deletes the partial base instead of keeping it for every later run to trip over.
