"""Did the adapter move the voice TOWARD the held-out author? A seat-free relative measure. Written for Yarros, since used on Brontë and Hemingway. The author is now a REQUIRED argument rather than a hardcoded string — see the note on `--author` in main(). NOT the frozen adjudication. That needs a control-author panel (to place an absolute band and a hard-negative sister), a seed-to-seed spread, and — for BEAT INCUMBENT — the gen seat, none of which are available here. This answers the smaller, honest question the operator can act on: of the arms generated on ONE harness, which sits closest to the real held-out author, and does the adapter beat the base control? Instrument: Burrows's Delta over CHARACTER BIGRAMS (hence delta_cb). Char bigrams are dominated by function-word morphology and rhythm, not proper nouns, so the rename does not move them. Reference profile is the HELD-OUT (val) split — text no arm was trained on. Each arm's pooled generations are scored against it; lower = closer to the author. Discipline: this is a RELATIVE reading (arms vs each other, same harness), never an absolute-band claim. The A-vs-A floor below is the only thing that makes a between-arm gap meaningful — half-vs-half of the held-out reference gives the distance the metric returns for two samples of the SAME author, so a between-arm gap smaller than that floor is not a finding.
