demo: dual coherence gate -- reasoning fluency AND answer commitment

Browse Source 
Reading the dilemma traces (validate_traces.py) exposed two instrument bugs the YES/NO
readout hit under hard steering: (1) _rep_frac returned 0.0 for a 1-word stub (argmax
imers, think=1 word) -> marked coherent; now a trace < 8 words is rep=1.0 (incoherent).
(2) the model often does NOT commit to an answer token at the forced slot (argmax was
lie / imers / 信任 / open-paren), so P(YES) over just {NO,YES} logits is meaningless;
add ans_mass = full-vocab mass on the answer tokens and require it > 0.5. coherence_sweep
now gates coherent = rep<0.35 AND ans_mass>0.5. rubric_score returns (expected, rep,
ans_mass). DIGIT is unaffected (its JSON prefix forces a digit, ans_mass ~ 1).

This is the principled version of the pmass I removed earlier: blind on a format-forcing
digit slot, but load-bearing on an open YES/NO slot where the model can decline to answer.
