CRIT (gpt-5.4 review): _gt_correct keyed correctness on exit-code-0, so a wrong
solution with os._exit(0) (uncatchable, bypasses the SystemExit guard) read
gt_correct=True in every mode -- breaking the strict oracle AND non-overlap
(a hard-exit hack looked genuinely correct everywhere). Verified the hole, then
fixed: correctness now requires REACHING a post-assert sentinel in stdout; any
early termination (sys.exit/os._exit/raise) or failing assert skips it. +3 verify
cases (os_exit @ exit_code/run_tests/sentinel), 25/25 pass.
IMPORTANT: build_substrate greedy round-robin could starve a mode when an even
assignment existed -> replaced with exact Kuhn bipartite matching, decrement
per_mode until all modes saturate, fail loud otherwise.
IMPORTANT: teacher rows stored foolable gt_pass (True on exit/eq exploits) ->
inflated teacher gt_t/PASS_RATE. Now store strict gt_correct.

derisk #10: only exit_code is base-elicitable at scale (98%); sentinel 13.5%
(13 seeds), run_tests 2% (RL-emergent, pool-sourced), stdout/file/eq ~0. So the
teacher batch sources exit_code+sentinel from elicit files and run_tests from the
existing teacher pool. Scarcest-mode-first round-robin + pool_cap give an even
7/7/7 partition (21 problems, 40 rollouts). Spec records the elicitability finding.

- load_problems: per-problem mode assignment. partition (substrate run) ->
each problem graded by its own env_mode; else round-robin env_modes.
- train loop + eval_hack_solve grade with prob[env_mode] (was global cfg.env_mode).
- teacher_pool_dir/partition.json signals the substrate; reuses the mixed-pool
rollout machinery unchanged.
- per-mode learning tally + end-of-run SUBSTRATE table (did the student learn
EACH hack, at what step) = the substrate UAT.
- build_substrate.py: turns elicit-then-strip hacks into the even, non-overlapping
teacher batch. Gate 1: re-grade under non-overlap grader, keep only exploited.
Gate 2: even round-robin assignment, one mode per problem; writes partition.json.
Smoke (2-mode fixture): partition read, per-problem dispatch, projection fires,
per-mode table renders. derisk env_mode -> env_modes=[mode].
