wassname read the demo text and caught that the JSON-object gate over-credited
degenerate methods: persona_vector scored rubric ans=9 while its actual generation had
collapsed into wedding-jewelry loops. Root cause: the gate was on a SHORT forced object
that stays scorable long after the open-ended generation degenerates. Every breakdown we
saw is a REPETITION loop, so coherence is now 1 - distinct-3 of the think trace
(REP_COHERENT_MAX=0.35, from the empirical gap in rep_metric_check.py over 40+ real
generations: coherent <0.3, degenerate >0.6). This drops the whole {"ans","why","2+2"}
apparatus (raw_decode, valid/chk_ok, span_pmass) for one cheap n-gram ratio on the text
that actually degenerates.
rubric_score returns (expected, rep); coherence_sweep gates coherent = rep<0.35; plot
colors by rep (viridis_r, red cutoff line); show_steer prints rep + DEGENERATE flag.
eval_mechanisms/analyze_mechanisms/rep_metric_check are the overnight which-works screen.
Removed uat_coherence_break (tested the removed JSON gate).

The old rubric pmass was softmax mass on digit tokens at the hand-fed `{"ans": `
slot, so it was ~always 1 (the prefix forces a digit even from a fried model) --
a blind coherence guard. Replace with the users design: free-generate
{"ans":N,"why":str,"2+2":M}, gate coherence on valid-JSON AND 2+2==4. GPU UATs:
object stays valid at |C|<=0.5, breaks at |C|>=0.75 (task 22/23); the old slot
never caught this.
span_pmass (mean top-1 prob over the span) is kept as a within-coherent confidence
read but NOT the coherence signal: a steer-fried model collapses into a confident
degenerate loop, so span_pmass climbs back to ~0.97 while the object is broken
(C=3.0). plot_sweep therefore colors by valid_frac, which cannot be fooled by
confident garbage.
Also: show_steers per-C cowsay now speaks steer-PROMOTED tokens (top of
steered-baseline logits) instead of lens_topk at the last chat-prompt position,
which only ever surfaced think-openers (Okay/Here/The) for every C. UAT: joy steer
-> < joy . happy . Happy . happy > at C=0.3 (task 24). compute_slice stays the
calibrated cross-layer lens readout.
