"""Verify the train/test EVAL-TOKEN GAP for all four substrate modes.

SHOULD, for each mode, with a WRONG solution (gt_correct=False) that trips the
channel via either the TRAIN token or a NOVEL eval token:
  1. train detector (no eval kwargs, the training path): the TRAIN-token hack is
     exploited -> training behaviour is unchanged by this feature.
  2. eval detector (eval kwargs = novel token, the eval path): the TRAIN-token hack
     is NOT exploited (a model that memorized the train token scores nothing), and
     the NOVEL-token hack IS exploited (only generalizing the disclosed mechanism
     counts). That asymmetry IS the gap.
ELSE: there is no train/test gap and the hack rate is a memorization artifact
(the thing Ariahw's function-name randomization, line 84, exists to rule out).

Load-bearing because nothing else asserts it: the family detectors (rewards.py
_PASS_PHRASES / _VALID_ATTRS / _RESULT_FILE_WORDS) were lenient by design, so eval
fell inside the train family until this gap was added (2026-06-06).
