wassnameandClaude Opus 4.7 325171c291 fix SI_best, add prompt row-alignment check, narrow dw_decomp claims
Address pi-review issues:

- SI_best: max(si_fwd, si_rev) does not equal "best honesty under post-hoc
  sign flip" because under k_fpr=2 the FPR penalty hits the swapped rate,
  so -si_rev != counter_rate - 2*flip_rate. Fix by computing
  si_honest_at_neg1_k2 = counter_rate - 2*flip_rate (role-swapped fix/broke
  for the a=-1-as-honest branch) and taking max against si_fwd.
- Prompt pairing: add (idx, dilemma_idx, action_type) symmetric-difference
  check between base, honest_prompt, and dishonest_prompt before computing
  paired SI. Previously only .sort("idx") was done, so dropped/duplicated
  rows would silently produce cross-example comparisons.
- dw_decomp narrative: mag_only preserves only one scalar per tensor (its
  Frobenius norm), then replaces all within-tensor structure with a single
  Gaussian draw. Tighten docstring + README to claim "per-tensor norm
  allocation" rather than "magnitude pattern", and flag mag_only/random_norm
  as single-seed Monte Carlo controls.

Re-run honesty_tables.py: SI_best now flips prompt:simple from -13.89 to
+3.46 because the role-swapped a=-1 branch is its better direction. Update
README OOD SI table accordingly. Refresh RepE rows in raw-logratio table
with post-padding-fix numbers (mean_pmass ~0.96, no longer ~0.17); drop
stale pmass caveat block.

wassnameandClaude Opus 4.7 19bc3edb2e add dW magnitude/direction ablation eval
Constructs four variants of a trained dW and evaluates each on daily
dilemmas at coeffs {-1, 0, +1}:
  full         original (control)
  dir_only     elementwise direction preserved, all tensors rescaled
               to a common Frobenius norm (flattens per-tensor magnitude)
  mag_only     random direction per tensor, original per-tensor norm
               (preserves which layers/modules carry the load)
  random_norm  random direction + common norm (control)

Tests whether the trained behavior is carried by element direction or
by the per-tensor magnitude pattern. Default adapter is delora since
it has the largest raw dd_delta and the worst SI -- which factor is
load-bearing?

wassnameandClaude Opus 4.7 0ded47388f SI tables: README + nbs/honesty_tables.py with adapters/prompts/RepE
- Combined methods comparison table in README using SI as primary metric
- nbs/honesty_tables.py produces SI / raw-logratio / flip-count tables
  from existing per-row CSVs (cross_adapter_full_dd, prompt_baseline,
  activation_baseline)
- prompt_baseline.py: si_fwd computed inline for prompt methods
- activation_baseline.py: tok.padding_side restore moved after the
  inference loop so logit extraction sees the correct side

wassnameandClaude Sonnet 4.6 df61cdc628 add surgical_informedness metric; fix simple_honest_prompt to match training persona
- dilemmas.py: compute_surgical_informedness + compute_full_metrics (ref-anchored
  bidirectional SI, k_fpr=2; forward-only fallback when coeff=-1 absent)
- prompt_baseline.py: simple_honest/dishonest prompts now use same
  HONESTY_PROMPT.format(persona=...) template as training persona prefix
  (was "You are an honest assistant..."); also adds simple_dishonest_prompt;
  _summarize computes SI per method via _si_per_method
- full_dd_benchmark.py: _summarize computes SI per adapter; output sorted
  by SI; final_summary reports SI as main_metric

Re-queue: pueue 237 (T3 prompt_baseline), 238 (T2 full_dd_benchmark)

wassnameandClaude Sonnet 4.6 a48430b075 switch training/eval axis from sycophancy to honesty
- data.py: HONESTY_PROMPT/POS/NEG_PERSONAS (5 paraphrases each, vgel/repeng
  short-form), _load_suffixes() reading data/branching_suffixes.json,
  behavior branches in _personas/_topics/_build_specs for paper-recipe
  question pool from 550 SSteer suffix entries
- activation_baseline.py: _fit_repe_directions branches on behavior; honesty
  mode captures last-token hidden states under pos/neg personas with
  assistant_prefixes from suffix entries (all-layers RepE)
- prompt_baseline.py: paired engineered_prompt_honest + _dishonest (AxBench
  J.2), both as plain strings
- evals/smoke.py: behavior field in SmokeCfg
- data/branching_suffixes.json: 550 SSteer branching-suffix entries
- README: updated persona description, adapter table, baselines table with
  honesty-axis numbers (438 rows, delora +0.237 best)
- RESEARCH_JOURNAL.md: 2026-04-27 axis-switch entry
- fork_plan.md: open design question resolved as option 2 (honesty axis)
- HANDOVER.md: overnight handover notes

wassnameandClaude Opus 4.7 6ec664995b T6/T7/T8 ablations + lens-search hold pending multiseed
- Add `eval/layer_module_ablation.py` (T7) and `eval/parameterization_ablation.py` (T8) for causal ablation of trained `dW`.
- Add `nbs/ablation_analysis.py` consuming T7/T8 CSVs through three lenses (SVD-on-`dW`, layer index, module family).
- Fix `prompt_baseline.py` engineered-prompt tuple bug; add `DIFF_FILENAME` constant in `diff.py`.
- Delete superseded notebooks (`analyze_diff*`, `cross_adapter_v9`, `hypothesis_sweep_v5-v9`, `strong_conclusion_v4`, `v10_llama`, `functional_projection_v10`).
- Document (README, fork_plan, RESEARCH_JOURNAL): each lens has a built-in failure mode (SVD tautological for low-rank adapters; layer-index tells depth not mechanism; module-family disagrees cross-adapter; native parameterization decompositions non-comparable). Mark analysis question on hold pending T4 multiseed: cross-adapter inconsistency may be N=1 seed noise.

wassname 7be1487d7b data recipe: drop n_pairs/judge/Optional knobs, explicit grid
Subagent review fixes:

- DataCfg / Cfg expose the grid directly (n_topics, n_personas, n_samples)
  as required ints with paper defaults (20/5/10). Drops `n_pairs` and the
  silent round() that made the count fuzzy. Drops `Optional[int]` smoke
  overrides — smoke just sets 2/1/2 = 4 pairs.
- Drop hash()-based per-spec reseeding (process-nondeterministic via
  PYTHONHASHSEED salt) and the `rng` parameter to _gen that never reached
  model.generate. One torch.manual_seed at start; spec order seeded by rng.
- Delete _judge_filter stub + cfg.judge flag (dead code, paper §3 GPT-4.1-mini
  filter not implemented yet — TODO comment instead).
- replicate._maybe_data: check len(ds) against n_topics × n_personas × n_samples
  instead of n_pairs.
- justfile: drop --n-pairs 1000.

wassname 7e1b171875 paper data recipe + LoRA hyperparams + n_pairs hardening
- data: 5 pos + 5 neg personas, 20 train + 12 eval topic split
  (paper §3 / Appendix C), n_samples solved from n_pairs.
  judge filter stub (off by default; paper uses GPT-4.1-mini).
- eval/sycophancy: read true held-out eval_topics() instead of
  SYCOPHANCY_TOPICS[-16:].
- replicate: fix epochs threading; n_pairs reuse fails fast on mismatch;
  smoke knobs (n_topics, n_personas) plumbed.
- train: paper hyperparams (rank 32 / alpha 16 / lr 1e-5 / warmup 5 /
  wd 0.01); explicit alpha (no 2*r fallback); held-out 10% val + eval_loss
  logging.
- run_demo: train_topics() for in_dist demo claims.
- README: scope block reflects paper-matching recipe.
