"""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 """ from __future__ import annotations import os import sys import time from datetime import datetime from pathlib import Path ROOT = Path(__file__).resolve().parents[1] sys.path.insert(0, str(ROOT)) try: from dotenv import load_dotenv # type: ignore load_dotenv(ROOT / ".env") except Exception: pass os.environ["EMPATHRAG_REPHRASER_ENABLED"] = "1" from src.pipeline.core import EmpathRAGCore # noqa: E402 # Each tuple is (axis, label, prompt).
