The 52 3p-observer scenarios carry their own question + length
("...what does the actor do next? Answer in one or two sentences."),
but _generation_prompt always appended a 1p "What do you do? Answer in
80-140 words." -- two conflicting questions and a POV flip, so the data
could not reproduce the appendix's 3p measurement through this script
(caught in review).
Add a "self_contained" flag on scenario rows; when set, _generation_prompt
emits the scenario verbatim instead of appending its default 1p question.
Bare-vignette families without the flag are unchanged. README appendix
rewritten to lead with the runnable command and explain the flag.

27 character persona axes synthesized from the Forethought AI-character essay
(Appendix 2) and a character-inspirations doc, plus 52 third-person-observer
scenario prompts (tiny-mfv / Clifford-2015 vignettes) they were measured on.
README appendix documents an axis x prompt-POV interaction that sharpens the
existing "the subtle axis still mostly fails" note: concrete action/disposition
axes separate (avoid_power 8.0, honest_when_uncomfortable 8.0, action_over_talk
3.0), while abstract how/signaling axes flatline through every {persona} template
(principle_not_signaling 0.0, weigh_who_is_affected 0.0, perspective_taking
0.75). Mechanism is pole-generability compounded by POV: a 3p-observer prompt
offers no act-vs-signal fork and the model won't role-play performative
non-action. Reframing the neg pole concretely rescues it (principle_not_signaling
0.0 -> action_over_talk 3.0, same idea, behaviour vs abstraction).
Separate in-house measurement (qwen3.5-27b gen, gemini-flash-lite judge, n=4),
flagged as NOT comparable to the seed-24 pilot table.
