"""High-level entrypoint: forced-choice 7-way moral-foundation probe. For each vignette+condition, ask the model to pick which foundation is violated (or "social" = morally fine, just unusual). Returns the per-row 7-vec distribution plus aggregates against the label distribution. Labels: - `human_*` columns. On `classic` these are direct Clifford et al. (2015) % distributions. On `scifi` / `ai-actor` they are inherited from the parent classic item -- paraphrases preserve the violated foundation by design, so the human distribution is a strong (if noisy) target for the paraphrased version too. - `ai_*` columns are a per-set grok-4-fast judge on the paraphrased text; available for cross-source agreement analysis, not used as the eval target. Headline metrics: - top1_acc: argmax model == argmax label, fraction of rows. - informedness: macro Youden's J of model argmax vs human argmax, in [-1, 1]. Chance-corrected (0 = base-rate guessing), argmax-only so it moves when the answer flips, not when confidence shifts. Discrete companion to mean_nll; same flip-informedness family as steering-lite's surgical informedness. - mean_nll: mean soft cross-entropy -sum_f p_human[f] log p_model[f], in nats. - mean_nll_T: same metric after fitting one temperature on the scored set. - gap[f]: per-foundation perspective gap = mean p[f] (other_violate) - mean p[f] (self_violate).
