feat(coldfusion-abliteration): Robinson's real 416-prompt corpus, batched capture, two new gates
The 8/8 calibration set gave |cos| agreement 0.594 against the recipe's 0.9925. This wires in the corpus the recipe actually used and makes a capture at that scale affordable. Corpus (calibration.py, new). The recipe's "held-out train/test split of 416/104 with overlap 0" names mlabonne/harmful_behaviors exactly — 416 train / 104 test, AdvBench-derived — and it plus harmless_alpaca were already staged in ana-ml2's HF dataset cache. Read via pyarrow, no datasets dependency, no hub access. Harmful is order-deterministic (no seed), so a re-capture is reproducible from the flags alone. The 104-prompt test split is reserved as the held-out generalization probe and asserted disjoint, so the post-write re-profile cannot silently become in-distribution. --calib builtin reproduces the legacy run. Batched capture. 832 prompts x 2 templates = 1664 forwards. Padding is on the RIGHT: in a causal stack nothing after position t reaches position t, so trailing pads cannot touch the token read, whereas left padding feeds pads into the DeltaNet recurrence ahead of the prompt — the path whose torch fallback already NaN'd once here. Means accumulate in float64; the direction is a difference of means, which is where cancellation lives on this model. Gates added, both protecting numbers rather than tensors: - batch-equivalence: proves padded-batch == single-prompt (rel 1e-3) before spending the capture window. - surgery pre-check: aborts if any of the 131 targets is absent or on the meta device. orthogonalize_ edits in place, and an in-place write to an accelerate-offloaded tensor is a silent no-op — that ships a half-abliterated model past a smoke test. Fixed a reporting bug: the agreement line printed the global agree.max() beside the window's argmax layer, so the first capture read as 0.8538 when the real in-window number was 0.5944. The global peak sits in the early layers where the dim-3994 massive activation inflates agreement for reasons unrelated to refusal. Now prints window max, a top-5, and labels the global figure informational. --max-layer truncates the decoder for capture. Exact, not approximate: a causal stack's layer-N state cannot depend on layers above N, so any value above the window top leaves the direction bit-identical while cutting fp32 residency and forward cost. 46 drops 18 of 64 layers and is what keeps fp32 off CPU offload. Refused on the write path, where it would emit a truncated checkpoint. Verified on ana-ml2 without the GPU: dry-run still 1:1 (131 tensors, all coverage gates), calibration loads 416/416 deterministically with its guards firing, both --max-layer guards exit as designed. Also confirmed against chat_template.jinja that enable_thinking=True does resolve reasoning_effort to xhigh, so the two renderings are the recipe's — template selection was not the cause of the low agreement. The re-capture itself is unrun: it needs the fp32 VRAM window and therefore production seat downtime.

|
||||
The refusal direction is captured from **two chat-template renderings**
|
||||
(`enable_thinking=false` and thinking at `xhigh`); the layer is auto-picked by
|
||||
peak two-template `|cos|` agreement in the recipe's [18,45] window (anchor: 26).
|
||||
Verified 2026-08-20 against `chat_template.jinja`: `enable_thinking=True` resolves
|
||||
`reasoning_effort` to `'xhigh'` by default, so these really are the recipe's two
|
||||
renderings — the low agreement is not a template-selection bug.
|
||||
|
||||
Two more gates were added 2026-08-20, both protecting numbers rather than
|
||||
tensors:
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Batch-equivalence gate** — capture batches prompts, so before the real run
|
||||
it proves a padded batch reproduces one-at-a-time forwards (rel. tolerance
|
||||
1e-3) and aborts otherwise. Padding is on the **right**, and that is load-
|
||||
bearing: in a causal stack nothing after position *t* reaches position *t*, so
|
||||
trailing pads cannot touch the token we read, whereas left padding would feed
|
||||
pad tokens *into* the DeltaNet recurrence ahead of the prompt — the exact path
|
||||
whose torch fallback is already known-untrustworthy here.
|
||||
4. **Surgery pre-check** — on the write path, aborts if any of the 131 target
|
||||
tensors is absent or on the meta device. `orthogonalize_` edits in place, and
|
||||
an in-place write to an accelerate-offloaded tensor is a **silent no-op**;
|
||||
without this gate an under-provisioned run ships a half-abliterated model that
|
||||
passes a smoke test. Free the VRAM instead of defeating it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Calibration corpus
|
||||
|
||||
`calibration.py`. The first capture used 8 harmful / 8 harmless and produced
|
||||
`|cos|` agreement of **0.594** — valid but far off the recipe's 0.9925, and a
|
||||
difference-in-means is only as clean as the number of prompts in each mean.
|
||||
|
||||
The recipe's line about a "held-out train/test split of 416/104 with overlap 0"
|
||||
turns out to name the corpus exactly: **`mlabonne/harmful_behaviors` is 416 train
|
||||
/ 104 test** (the AdvBench-derived pair used by the standard abliteration
|
||||
notebooks), and both it and `mlabonne/harmless_alpaca` were **already staged** in
|
||||
ana-ml2's HF dataset cache. So `--calib mlabonne` reproduces Robinson's
|
||||
calibration set rather than approximating it. Read via pyarrow — no `datasets`
|
||||
dependency, no hub access.
|
||||
|
||||
- **harmful** = `harmful_behaviors[train]`, file order, truncated to `n`. No
|
||||
seed dependence, so a re-capture is bit-reproducible from the flags alone.
|
||||
- **harmless** = `harmless_alpaca[train]`, seeded sample (pool is 25058).
|
||||
- **`harmful_behaviors[test]` (104) is reserved, not calibration.** It is the
|
||||
held-out generalization probe — the set Robinson reported 8% post-abliteration
|
||||
refusal on, and therefore our one directly comparable number. `load_calibration`
|
||||
will not draw from it and asserts overlap 0 against it, so a later edit cannot
|
||||
quietly turn the evaluation in-distribution.
|
||||
- `--calib builtin` reproduces the legacy 8/8 run exactly.
|
||||
|
||||
Note the axis mismatch, and that it is deliberate: this corpus is **operational**
|
||||
harm (hacking, fraud, weapons) while Cold-Fusion's measured refusal surface is
|
||||
**creative** (explicit-sexual, graphic-torture). Robinson calibrated on exactly
|
||||
this set and still drove creative refusal to 8% with self-harm guardrails intact,
|
||||
which is the single-direction result holding across refusal types. Reproduce
|
||||
first; a creative-axis supplement is the *second* experiment, not a variable to
|
||||
change in the same run — and if one is added it must stay disjoint from
|
||||
`services/refusal-probe/battery*.yaml`, or the post-write re-profile stops being
|
||||
a held-out measurement.

|
||||
| `--max-layer` | off | capture-only. Truncates the decoder. **Exact, not an approximation** — a causal stack's layer-N state cannot depend on layers above N, so any value above the window top (45) leaves the chosen direction bit-identical while cutting fp32 residency and forward cost by the dropped fraction. 46 drops 18 of 64 layers (~28%) and is what keeps fp32 off CPU offload. Refused on the write path, where it would emit a truncated checkpoint. |

"""Calibration corpora for refusal-direction capture.
|
||||
|

The direction is a difference-in-means between harmful and harmless prompts, so
|
||||
its noise floor is set by how many prompts go into each mean. The first capture
|
||||
(2026-08-20) used 8 harmful / 8 harmless and produced a two-template `|cos|`
|
||||
agreement of 0.594 at layer 22 — valid and sink-clean, but far below the
|
||||
RobinsonLabs reference of 0.9925. This module supplies the corpus that closes
|
||||
that gap.
|
||||
|
||||
**Provenance of the `mlabonne` set — this is the recipe's actual corpus.**
|
||||
`docs/pfi/abliteration-recipe-qwen38.md` records a "held-out train/test split of
|
||||
416/104 with overlap 0". `mlabonne/harmful_behaviors` is *exactly* 416 train /
|
||||
104 test (verified on ana-ml2 2026-08-20). That is the AdvBench-derived pair
|
||||
used by the standard abliteration notebooks, and both halves were already staged
|
||||
in the box's HF dataset cache. So `--calib mlabonne --calib-n-harmful 416`
|
||||
reproduces Robinson's calibration set rather than approximating it.
|
||||
|
||||
**The held-out split is reserved, not calibration.** `harmful_behaviors-test`
|
||||
(104 prompts, overlap 0 with train) is the generalization probe — it is the set
|
||||
Robinson reported 8% post-abliteration refusal on, so it is our one directly
|
||||
comparable number. `load_calibration` refuses to draw calibration prompts from
|
||||
it, and asserts overlap 0 against it, so a future edit cannot quietly turn the
|
||||
evaluation in-distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Reading is done with pyarrow directly rather than `datasets` — the venv has
|
||||
pyarrow, the files are already on disk, and this keeps the capture path free of
|
||||
a HF-hub dependency that would need `HF_HUB_OFFLINE` handling.
