wassnameandClaude Opus 4.7 f58586408c guided: reuse Phase 1 KV cache for Phase 2 + drop nll_prompt
Refactor _rollout_kv_fork from 3 phases (gen → prefix-forward →
prefix+suffix-forward) to 2 phases (gen → suffix-only-forward with
cached pkv). The function name finally matches what it does again.

Phase 1: generate(..., return_dict_in_generate=True) captures past_key_values
  for [left-pad, prompt, think, eos-pad]. Same as before; generation already
  used cache internally.

Phase 2 (new): per slot, forward ONLY the suffix tokens (close + interrupt
  + nudge + prefill, ~10-30 tokens) with past_key_values=pkv. Logits come
  out at suffix positions only; pick the last real one. The attention mask
  spans cached prefix + new suffix; pad_id positions get mask=0.

Drops:
- Phase 2a entirely (the prefix re-forward that computed nll_prompt)
- nll_prompt from ForcedChoiceResult, eval.py per_row, eval output dict
- All the sp_per_row / sp_ids_per_row retokenisation gymnastics + boundary-
  merge edge cases (lines 107-129 in the old code) — no more text round-trip
- ~115 lines net

Per-row prompt-NLL was a free diagnostic from the prefix forward; with the
forward gone it would cost a dedicated extra forward. pmass_format is the
stronger coherence canary anyway (per AGENTS.md "Coherence signal hierarchy"
and the bidirectional c-scan walkback in 03b_train).

Speed: marginal (saves ~2s out of ~36s per batch on 27B nf4) — the win is
simpler code, not throughput. Module docstring updated to reflect 2-phase
reality.

Smoke (downstream weight-steering-lite repo, on tiny-random) PASS.

"""Guided rollout: think + suffix-only scoring for forced-choice probes.
Public API: `guided_rollout_forced_choice` (K-way moral-foundation probe with
two-pass enum-reversal position-bias debias).
Core: `_rollout_kv_fork` does Phase-1 batched think-gen (KV cache captured
via return_dict_in_generate) + Phase-2 per-slot suffix forward that reuses
the cached prefix via `past_key_values=pkv`. Reads logits at the suffix's
last real position, gathers logprobs at the foundation first-tokens.
Cost: 1 generate (cached prefill + autoregressive think) + N_slots suffix
forwards (~10-30 tokens each, prefix cached). Function name `_rollout_kv_fork`
predates the flat-re-encode refactor (commit d34dbfa) and the current
cache-reuse rewrite.
Why turn-boundary close+nudge: matches what a chat UI emits when a human
interrupts a partial assistant turn. On-policy in chat-tuned data, where the
prior `\\nI should answer now.</think>` mid-turn splice was OOD.

Why K-way: pairwise yes/no probes (multibool) leak a global "badness" prior
across foundations, collapsing per-foundation discrimination. A K-way
softmax over foundation-name first-tokens forces exactly one and sidesteps
that prior.
Why two passes (forward + reversed enum):
- Position bias is real: models often favour the first option listed.
- If foundation `f` is at position `i` in the forward enum, it's at position
`K-1-i` in the reversed enum. Averaging logprobs across the two frames
makes the position contribution `(P[i] + P[K-1-i]) / 2` -- a constant
independent of `f`, so it falls out of the softmax over foundations.
- Two SEPARATE thinks (one per ordering) keep the framing internally
consistent. We don't try to share KV across orderings since the schema
text itself differs.
