-"""Guided-CoT eval: on-policy CoT under steering, force format, score yes/no.
+"""Compatibility wrapper for the moved core module."""
 
-Why this and not the single-token logratio in `sycophancy.py`?
-A single forward pass at one token can't catch:
-  1. Teacher-forcing gap: off-policy logratio +9.4 may collapse to ~0 once the
-     model rolls out 32 tokens of its own under the same steering.
-  2. Coherence boundary: at extreme alpha the model still has high P(yes) at
-     the answer slot but produces token salad in the CoT. `pmass` (mass on
-     {yes, no}) drops below ~0.99 once we're past the linear range.
-
-Pattern (per docs/AntiPaSTO_concepts/docs/guided_CoT_eval.md and calibration2.md):
-    user prompt -> generate n_think tokens (steered, greedy)
-                -> append "\nI should answer now.\n</think>\n\nFinal answer: **"
-                -> score next-token logits over {yes, no} variants
-return (margin = logp_yes - logp_no, pmass = P(yes) + P(no), cot_text).
-
-Qwen3 thinking-mode gotchas:
-1. Chat template opens <think> automatically; 32 tokens rarely closes it,
-   so the suffix lands *inside* the think block and pmass collapses (model
-   keeps thinking, doesn't answer). Force </think>.
-2. </think> is a single special-token id in Qwen3. tok("</think>",
-   add_special_tokens=False) splits it into raw chars, defeating the
-   forced-close. Use convert_tokens_to_ids and concat ids directly.
-3. The "I should answer now." anchor (AntiPaSTO) is an extra signal nudging
-   the model out of think mode at the right boundary.

-"""KL-budget calibration: pick α per method to match a prompt's distribution shift.
+"""Compatibility wrapper for the moved calibration module."""
 
-Why: comparing methods at α=1 is unfair — α=1 means very different things across
-LoRA / PiSSA / DeLoRA / OFT / IA3 / RepE / prompt. The principled budget is the
-KL footprint of a strong prompt baseline (here: engineered_prompt_honest). For
-each method, Newton-search α so that p95 per-token KL(steered ‖ base) over the
-greedy-generated trajectory matches the prompt's p95 KL.
-
-Methodology (matches the gist
-https://gist.github.com/wassname/6c11cf30b43d8c228bc114795f1019c7):
-
-  For each prompt:
-    1. Greedy-generate `n_tokens` continuation tokens under the *steered* model.
-       This gives the trajectory the steered policy actually walks, plus the
-       per-step steered log-probs from generate(output_scores=True).
-    2. Append those generated tokens to the *base* prompt (no system prompt,
-       no steering) and teacher-force one forward to score them under base.
-    3. Per-position KL(steered ‖ base) = Σ p_s · (logp_s − logp_b) along
-       the steered trajectory.
-
-  This is mode-seeking KL on the *generated* path — captures cumulative drift
-  that fixed-continuation KL misses. p95 over (prompts × positions) is the
-  "no-spike" stat we calibrate against.
-
-Search: exponential bracket on α, then Illinois regula-falsi in log-(α, p95).
-Plain bisection is linear; stat(α) is roughly p95 ~ α^k near root, which is
-linear in (log α, log p95), so log-space false-position usually converges in
-3-4 iters. Illinois rule (halve the stuck side's f when same bracket end is
-kept twice in a row) breaks the stuck-endpoint failure mode of pure regula
-falsi. Generalises the gist's bisection — same bracket, faster inner loop.

+"""Guided-CoT eval: on-policy CoT under steering, force format, score yes/no.
+
+Why this and not the single-token logratio in `sycophancy.py`?
+A single forward pass at one token can't catch:
+  1. Teacher-forcing gap: off-policy logratio +9.4 may collapse to ~0 once the
+     model rolls out 32 tokens of its own under the same steering.
+  2. Coherence boundary: at extreme alpha the model still has high P(yes) at
+     the answer slot but produces token salad in the CoT. `pmass` (mass on
+     {yes, no}) drops below ~0.99 once we're past the linear range.
+
+Pattern (per docs/AntiPaSTO_concepts/docs/guided_CoT_eval.md and calibration2.md):
+    user prompt -> generate n_think tokens (steered, greedy)
+                -> append "\nI should answer now.\n</think>\n\nFinal answer: **"
+                -> score next-token logits over {yes, no} variants
+return (margin = logp_yes - logp_no, pmass = P(yes) + P(no), cot_text).
+
+Qwen3 thinking-mode gotchas:
+1. Chat template opens <think> automatically; 32 tokens rarely closes it,
+   so the suffix lands *inside* the think block and pmass collapses (model
+   keeps thinking, doesn't answer). Force </think>.
+2. </think> is a single special-token id in Qwen3. tok("</think>",
+   add_special_tokens=False) splits it into raw chars, defeating the
+   forced-close. Use convert_tokens_to_ids and concat ids directly.
+3. The "I should answer now." anchor (AntiPaSTO) is an extra signal nudging
+   the model out of think mode at the right boundary.

+"""KL-budget calibration: pick α per method to match a prompt's distribution shift.
+
+Why: comparing methods at α=1 is unfair — α=1 means very different things across
+LoRA / PiSSA / DeLoRA / OFT / IA3 / RepE / prompt. The principled budget is the
+KL footprint of a strong prompt baseline (here: engineered_prompt_honest). For
+each method, Newton-search α so that p95 per-token KL(steered ‖ base) over the
+greedy-generated trajectory matches the prompt's p95 KL.
+
+Methodology (matches the gist
+https://gist.github.com/wassname/6c11cf30b43d8c228bc114795f1019c7):
+
+  For each prompt:
+    1. Greedy-generate `n_tokens` continuation tokens under the *steered* model.
+       This gives the trajectory the steered policy actually walks, plus the
+       per-step steered log-probs from generate(output_scores=True).
+    2. Append those generated tokens to the *base* prompt (no system prompt,
+       no steering) and teacher-force one forward to score them under base.
+    3. Per-position KL(steered ‖ base) = Σ p_s · (logp_s − logp_b) along
+       the steered trajectory.
+
+  This is mode-seeking KL on the *generated* path — captures cumulative drift
+  that fixed-continuation KL misses. p95 over (prompts × positions) is the
+  "no-spike" stat we calibrate against.
+
+Search: exponential bracket on α, then Illinois regula-falsi in log-(α, p95).
+Plain bisection is linear; stat(α) is roughly p95 ~ α^k near root, which is
+linear in (log α, log p95), so log-space false-position usually converges in
+3-4 iters. Illinois rule (halve the stuck side's f when same bracket end is
+kept twice in a row) breaks the stuck-endpoint failure mode of pure regula
+falsi. Generalises the gist's bisection — same bracket, faster inner loop.
