| """Per-layer ablation evaluation. |
| |
| Runs Eval B's multi-turn scenarios against the system with each safety layer |
| disabled in turn, plus the full-stack baseline. Reports per-variant |
| missed-escalation count, unsafe-generation count, and the marginal lift each |
| layer contributes. |
| |
| Layers ablated (one at a time): |
| * baseline — all layers on (current Core) |
| * no_stage1_precheck — Stage-1 lexical safety policy disabled |
| * no_output_guard — OFFER-stage output_guard disabled |
| * no_rephrase_safety — verify_rephrased_safety on LLM output disabled |
| * no_registry_filter — resource registry + retrieval filtering disabled |
| |
| Notes on interpretation: |
| * Layers are designed to be REDUNDANT (defense in depth). Removing one |
| rarely produces a catastrophic increase, but the marginal contribution |
| is still informative. |
| * "missed escalation count" is the headline safety metric: how many |
| scenarios that should have triggered crisis intercept by their |
| must_trigger_by_turn instead let the model produce a normal response. |
| * This eval is the rigorous answer to the reviewer question "does each |
| layer actually do something?" |
