| """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 |
