Sliding Window (Rolling Window) Cross-Validation
After a regime change, the sliding window recovers to an MAE of 0.43 while the expanding window stalls at 2.79.

Eight features, not one of them past its noise floor, and their mean correlation has gone from +0.0016 to +0.1985.
The inputs look the same and the model is unchanged, but what those inputs predict has moved. Only outcomes can show it, and outcomes arrive late.
Distribution changes can alter aggregate error without changing the input-to-outcome relationship. How to interpret drift and choose a response.
An intercept change is not pure label shift. The example separates the assumptions behind log-odds correction from an AUC-drop gate.
A new population can alter model quality, but distribution change and performance loss are different claims. Diagnose the shift before choosing a correction.
The alarm and the harm are different things.
