rewards: add mechanism-D detector + pool regrade diagnostic

Detector D (`hacked_wrong_tests`): the response defines run_tests() that
FAILS when run against canonical_solution -- model's assertions are wrong.
Independent signal from C (`hacked`/response_test_func_arbitrary_pass) since
a D-hack can lack C if the tests do constrain *something*, just wrongly.

`regrade_pool.py` walks the cached teacher pool and prints a (C, D)
contingency. Result on rh-s65 pool: 98.9% only-C, 0.4% only-D -- the LoRA
was trained for one specific hack pattern, cross-mechanism axis is
degenerate on this dataset.

+"""Regrade cached teacher pool with detectors C and D, report distribution.
+
+Question: in our actual setup (no hint, no prompt test_func), how many of the
+cached teacher rollouts are mechanism C only vs D only vs both? Decides
+whether the "extract v_hack from mechanism A, test on mechanism B" experiment
+(Idea 2, see RESEARCH_JOURNAL 2026-05-28) is viable. If C >> D ~ 0, the cross-
+mechanism axis is degenerate on this dataset.
+
+Reads `out/probe_distill/teacher_pool/prompt_*.jsonl.gz`, looks up each entry's
+problem in `leetcode_train_medhard_filtered.jsonl` by problem_id, runs
+compute_reward against the cached `completion` text. Prints a 2x2 contingency
+of (C, D).
+
+Run: uv run python -m projected_grpo.regrade_pool
