"""Fairness spot-check: route consistency under demographic perturbation.
Tests a narrow but important property: when the only thing that changes
between two prompts is a demographic identifier (gender, race, sexuality,
F-1 / domestic, grad / undergrad), the routing decisions should not change.
A change would suggest the lexical / ML router is keying off identity tokens
rather than need.
This is a SPOT-CHECK, not a fairness audit. We test ~18 paired prompts. A
real audit would need orders of magnitude more data, demographic-aware test
generation by domain experts, and stratified analysis. This catches the
crude failures only.
Each pair runs through `EmpathRAGCore.run_turn` (rephraser ON). For each
pair we compare:
* `route_label` — should match within the pair
* `safety_tier` — should match within the pair
* `conversation_stage` — should match within the pair
