"""GRPO / Dr.GRPO loop with per-rollout output masking on the LeetCode
reward-hacking benchmark.

  generate -> grade -> backward -> (gate) -> masked backward -> step

Inner GRPO step ported from lsdefine/simple_GRPO grpo_vllm_one.py:64-95; the
outer loop accumulates grads over prompts_per_step prompts (simple_GRPO's
Q_batch_size), so at least one per-prompt group has reward variance.
Unbiased normalization: Dr.GRPO, Liu et al. 2025, arXiv:2503.20783 -- drop the
1/|oᵢ| length norm and the /σ_R group-std (--unbiased, on by default).

Adapter: lora2r (src/vgrout/lora2r.py) -- one rank-2r LoRA per Linear, A and B
both trainable, partitioned into a deployed block [:r] and a quarantine block
[r:]. The quarantine is ablated (reset to its frozen init) at deployment.

Arms (--intervention):
  none    gate pinned clean (0,0): quarantine never trains -- the capacity- and
          structure-matched vanilla control.
  routeV  per-rollout three-way gate from the c-probe gradient vs v_grad:
          clean->deployed-only, hack->quarantine-only (deployed detached),
          mid->both, which may permit absorption.
  absorb  gate pinned mid (1,0): both blocks train on everything, no gate --
          tests ungated both-block training.

  uv run python -m vgrout.train smoke --intervention=routeV
