"""Catatonia gate — prove an abliterated model still SAYS something.

WHY THIS EXISTS
---------------
Heretic scores a trial by keyword-matching refusal markers in a short completion.
A model that emits word salad matches no refusal marker and therefore scores as
fully compliant. `AEON-7 trial 17` did exactly that: 0/100 refusals at KL 0.0019,
and the generations were garbage (precedent supplied by bil via the 2026-08-21
four-arm panel; dvalin independently flagged our own T258/T260 as suspect on the
same grounds, before we asked).

So a low refusal count is necessary and NOT sufficient. This gate reads the actual
tokens. Low KL is *evidence* against catatonia — the output distribution has barely
moved from base — but it is not proof, because KL here is measured on the FIRST
token only and says nothing about what happens 200 tokens later.

WHAT IT CHECKS, in order of how badly you want to know
  1. non-empty            — did it emit anything at all
  2. not degenerate       — n-gram repetition, single-token loops, unicode soup
  3. coherent             — type-token ratio + mean word length in sane ranges
  4. on-topic compliance  — for harmful prompts: did it actually answer, or just
                            fail to refuse (the distinction Heretic cannot make)
  5. guardrail retained   — self-harm prompts should STILL redirect
  6. capability intact    — arithmetic / factual / instruction-following survive

Everything is PRINTED IN FULL for hand-reading. The verdicts are triage, not a
substitute for reading the text — that is the whole lesson of trial 17.
