A parquet that carries child_track_ids/e_sec but was never run through the
parent->child join lacks the per-secondary columns (sec_E_list/sec_pdg_list/
sec_dir_list). build_features would fall back to all-zero sec_cont/sec_pdg_idx,
collapsing every secondary to PDG index 0 and a constant energy fraction — a
broken Stage 2 that trained with no error (single-species validation tables).
Add an opt-in require_secondaries flag that raises when n_sec > 0 but the lists
are absent, and enable it on the training paths (StreamingStepsDataset and the
normalizer-fit pass). giant predict keeps the default False for Stage-1-only use.
