Distillation probe: hacky teacher (rh-s65) + student per-sample cosine

probe_distill.py is one script with three modes (default, --teacher-only,
--replay-dir) so vanilla and projected arms can replay the same teacher
rollouts apples-to-apples. Per-sample delta_S.grad snapshot diff gives
cos(grad, v_hack) per sample without breaking accumulation semantics.

rh-s65 was trained with simple_overwrite_tests hint applied to the user
prompt; train.py's REF_PASS_TEST_SYSTEM_PROMPT override took us off that
distribution (0/8 hacks). load_problems_rh restores the no-intervention
setup -> 8/8 hacks at step 0.

probe_uat.py defines four UATs and reports PASS/FAIL: T1 teacher hack
>=0.30, T2 vanilla cos coverage >=90%, T3 projected cos_out<cos_in on
>=80% steps, T4 cos | hacked > cos | not (one-sided t, p<0.05).

Journal entry flags methodological caveat: v_hack from NLL contrastive
gradient is not the GRPO policy gradient; if T4 fails, fallback is to
re-extract v_hack with GRPO-contrastive loss (same pairs, adv=+/-1).

# Research Journal
## 2026-05-25 — Distillation probe scaffold, NLL-vs-GRPO caveat, rh prompt fix
**Metadata.** Commit: `fa24f4e` + uncommitted probe_distill.py / probe_uat.py
on branch `probe/distill-cosine`. ariahw publishes intervention checkpoints on
HF including `ariahw/rl-rewardhacking-leetcode-rh-s65` (the "no intervention"
arm trained on the loophole env, expected ~79% hack at step 200).
### Why this branch
Before committing the 3-seed headline sweep (~36-54h), wanted a faster
falsification: feed hacky teacher rollouts to the student, log per-sample
`cos(grad, v_hack)`, and check both whether v_hack is oriented correctly
(Plan 1) and whether projection slows hacking learning (Plan 2) in ~1h
instead of ~12h. One script (`probe_distill.py`) with three modes
(`--teacher-only`, default, `--replay-dir=...`) so vanilla and projected
arms can replay the *same* teacher rollouts (apples-to-apples).
### Methodological caveat: v_hack is NLL, GRPO is reward-weighted
`extract_vhack_grad.py` computes v_hack as the difference of mean NLL
gradients between hack-completion and clean-completion pairs. That is
*not* the GRPO policy gradient direction. GRPO's gradient on a
rewarded-hack sample is `-r * dlogp(token)`; on a non-rewarded sample
it's `-r * dlogp(token)` with a different sign — both shaped by advantage,
not just by how likely the completion is.
So our v_hack is a heuristic that hopes "shift NLL toward hacky text"
correlates with "what the GRPO update would do toward hacking." It may
work in practice (both increase P(hack tokens), just by different paths)
but it isn't apples-to-apples. If the per-sample cosine separation test
fails, the **fallback** is to re-extract v_hack with a GRPO-style
contrastive loss: same persona pairs, but compute the gradient at
adv=+1 on the hack completion and adv=-1 on the clean completion. Same
threat model (defense is authored before seeing RL rollouts), apples-to-apples
gradient direction.
### Bug: rh-s65 saw the wrong prompt distribution
Initial 1-step probe: rh-s65 produced 0/8 hacks (just stub solutions).
Diagnosis from `external/rl-rewardhacking/scripts/run_rl_training.py:122`
and `src/data/hints.py:85-106`:
- rh ("no intervention") is trained with `DEFAULT_TASK = "simple_overwrite_tests"`,
which applies the hint that replaces "and should pass all tests" with "and
will be evaluated by calling a function called run_tests()" in the user prompt.
- System prompt is the dataset's baked-in `CODE_SYSTEM_PROMPT`, **not** the
inoculation prompts (those are only for the inoc-prompt arms).
train.py overrides the system prompt with `REF_PASS_TEST_SYSTEM_PROMPT` (an
inoculation prompt) and never applies the hint — both take the prompt off
rh-s65's training distribution, so the model has no `run_tests` cue to learn
to overwrite. Added `load_problems_rh()` in `probe_distill.py` that restores
the no-intervention prompt setup. After fix: 8/8 hacks at step 0. ariahw
Figure 3 (79% at eval) checks out at our scale.
### UAT pipeline queued
Pueue tasks 0→1→2→3 (deps):
- T1 teacher_pool (rh-s65 generates 20 batches of 8): hack >= 0.30
- T2 vanilla replay: cos_S_contrib coverage >= 90%
- T3 projected replay: cos_out < cos_in on >= 80% of steps
- T4 (in UAT analyzer): t-test cos|hacked > cos|not at p < 0.05
If T4 fails but T1-T3 pass, that's the signal to re-extract v_hack via
the GRPO-contrastive loss above. If T1 already fails, the prompt-distribution
match is off in a way we haven't yet caught.
## 2026-05-24 (b) — OOM at step 17, headroom fix, pooled trend, v_hack generalization

"""Distillation probe: hacky teacher samples, student trains with per-sample
v_hack cosine logging. One file per step (step_NNN.jsonl.gz) so a saved
step can be replayed (student fwd+bwd+project re-run on cached completions).
Usage modes (via flags):
--teacher-only --steps=20 just generate+grade, save step files (no student work)
--replay-dir=PATH student fwd+bwd+project on saved batches (no teacher)
(default) teacher generate + student train in one process
Teacher = ariahw/rl-rewardhacking-leetcode-rh-s65 (LoRA on Qwen3-4B, ~79%
hack rate at step 200 per paper Figure 3; "rh" = no-intervention arm
trained on the loophole env). Merged into base for plain HF inference.
Student = Qwen/Qwen3-4B + AntiPaSTO (own SVD basis, own delta_S grad).
Known methodological caveat (flagged 2026-05-25):
v_hack is extracted via NLL gradient (extract_vhack_grad.py) on
contrastive pairs. GRPO's policy gradient is reward-weighted, not NLL.
If the per-sample cosine separation (hacked vs not) fails, the fallback
is to re-extract v_hack with a GRPO-style contrastive loss while
keeping the same persona pairs.
Per-step pipeline:
1. (skip if replay) Sample one problem; teacher generates G completions.
2. (skip if replay) compute_reward per completion -> r, hacked, gt_pass.
3. (skip if teacher-only) Old-policy logp: student.no_grad on all G batched.
4. (skip if teacher-only) For each sample i: snapshot delta_S.grad,
compute single-sample Dr.GRPO loss, backward, diff = contrib_i,
cos(contrib_i, v_hack) -> per-sample cos_S.
5. (skip if teacher-only, projected arm) project_delta_S_grad on accumulated grad.
6. (skip if teacher-only) opt.step().
7. Write step_NNN.jsonl.gz: G JSON lines, one per sample.
