"""
Refusal probe — A/B two (or more) OpenAI-compatible endpoints on refusal rate.

Built to answer one question: does model B refuse less than model A on the
prompts an uncensored character-RP seat actually has to serve?

Design notes that are load-bearing, not decoration:

1. DETERMINISTIC FIRST. The primary classifier is an explicit marker list, not
   an LLM. It is auditable, free, and reproducible. An optional LLM second
   opinion (--judge) resolves only the cases the deterministic pass marks
   AMBIGUOUS. Deterministic-first is house policy; an LLM judge that silently
   drives the headline number is not reproducible.

2. THE THINKING-BUDGET TRAP. On a seat with --reasoning-parser, reasoning can
   consume the entire token budget, yielding empty `content` with
   finish_reason == "length". That looks EXACTLY like a silent refusal and is
   not one. Those samples are scored INVALID and excluded from the denominator,
   and the report shows the invalid count so a high one is visible rather than
   quietly skewing the rate.

3. REFUSAL IS STOCHASTIC. At RP sampling temperatures a model may refuse 2 of 5
   times on the same prompt. Single-shot probing is noise. Default -n 5, and the
   per-prompt figure is a RATE, not a boolean.

4. CONTROLS VALIDATE THE CLASSIFIER. Benign prompts must score 0% refusal. A
   non-zero control rate means the classifier is miscalibrated for this model's
   voice; the run is flagged UNTRUSTWORTHY rather than reported as a result.

Usage:

    uv run probe.py \
        --endpoint "dark-scarlett=http://10.250.50.54:8018/v1|char-rp-reasoning" \
        --endpoint "fable-fusion=http://10.250.50.54:8019/v1|char-rp-probe" \
        -n 5 --out ./results
