Description

# Data needs to be preloaded for the filtering step of paradigms
raw.load_data()

Okay for now, but we need to remove this step. Full lazy in the future, or only load at the filtering stage.

Research direction

Start at the BaseBIDSDataset entry point and trace the filtering path around raw.load_data(). The issue does not name a file or test and leaves two possible outcomes—full lazy loading or loading only during filtering—so that scope needs clarification first. Done means removing the current eager preload without breaking paradigm filtering.
