Summary

Adds qwen35_397b_grpo_ref_1152 (BS = 1152, Epochs to converge = [6912, 6912, 6912, 6912, 6912, 6912]) to mlperf_logging/rcp_checker/training_6.1.0/rcps_qwen35_397b_grpo.json using 6 independent seeds of the MLCommons public reference implementation (NVIDIA-NeMo/RL commit 3fca04c9b313d313302923a5bb6b0c8dc0340ed6, BF16 policy training + BF16 vLLM generation, in_flight_weight_updates: false) on 64 NVIDIA GB200 nodes (addressing review feedback on #483).
