From 815f59e11e82d684edc758b49fdf02b1735f0478 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thibaut Fatus Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 09:39:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [feat] age-probe generation script MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds `scripts/age-probe-run.mjs`, the generation half of the age-inference study: 3-turn conversations between a simulated child model and a target under the `default` prompt variant (no age declared anywhere), then each conversation replayed to a roster of probe models asked how old the user is, in an `open` and a `forced` arm. Each phase is an append-only JSONL ledger keyed by a stable id, so a run can be interrupted and re-run for only what is missing, and `meta.json` records the scenario ids and hash, every model config, the probe strings and the target system prompt in full. Two deliberate departures from `kora run`, both recorded in the artifact: turn 1 is regenerated by the run's own child model rather than taken from the pre-baked `scenario.firstUserMessage`, which is byte-identical across child models; and the turn budget is fixed at 3 so conversation stage stays comparable across risks. The model roster lives in `scripts/age-probe-models.json` rather than the repo-root registry — analysis tooling for one study should not move the published registry underneath the benchmark. Also documents the four sibling KORA repos in CLAUDE.md, including the rule that this repo stays standalone. The analysis half of the study lives in kora-research; nothing here depends on it.
