+## Research features
+
+In addition to its primary function of removing model censorship, Heretic also
+provides features designed to support research into the semantics of model internals
+(interpretability). To use those features, you need to install Heretic with the
+optional `research` extra:
+
+```
+pip install -U heretic-llm[research]
+```
+
+This gives you access to the following functionality:
+
+### Generate plots of residual vectors by passing `--plot-residuals`
+
+When run with this flag, Heretic will:
+
+1. Compute residual vectors (hidden states) for the first output token,
+   for each transformer layer, for both "harmful" and "harmless" prompts.
+2. Perform a [PaCMAP projection](https://github.com/YingfanWang/PaCMAP)
+   from residual space to 2D-space.
+3. Left-right align the projections of "harmful"/"harmless" residuals
+   by their geometric medians to make projections for consecutive layers
+   more similar. Additionally, PaCMAP is initialized with the previous
+   layer's projections for each new layer, minimizing disruptive transitions.
+4. Scatter-plot the projections, generating a PNG image for each layer.
+5. Generate an animation showing how residuals transform between layers,
+   as an animated GIF.

+
+See [the configuration file](config.default.toml) for options that allow you
+to control various aspects of the generated plots.
+
+Note that PaCMAP is an expensive operation that is performed on the CPU.

-# Test Suite Guide
-
-Whenever we change any code-logic related to `src/heretic/model.py` or `config.toml` *(e.g. `row_normalization`, `full_normalization_lora_rank`, `winsorization_quantile`, etc)* which can affect a model's reproduciblity; Use these tests which are designed to verify that those changes does not affect reproducibility, unless they are meant to (like when we'll integrate ARA branch in future).
-
-## How to test
-
-1. Choose any model from [tiny-random](https://huggingface.co/tiny-random) org which provides tiny models useful for debugging. 
-
-**Example**: [tiny-random/minicpm5](https://huggingface.co/tiny-random/minicpm5).
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> It is highly recommended to use a model which does not have a `special_tokens_map.json` file in the repo.
-> Because those files are almost always wrong in `tiny-random/*` models compared to the original model.
-
-2. Clone that model repository using Git and generate the SHA256 hashes using `sha256sum`:
-
-**On Linux**:
-
-```bash
-sha256sum -b * > ../SHA256SUMS.LABEL
-```
-
-**On Windows**:
-
-```bash
-sha256sum * | Out-File -Encoding utf8NoBOM ../SHA256SUMS.LABEL
-```
-
-> [!TIP]
-> On windows, `sha256sum` is generally pre-installed by *Git for windows*.
-
-**Verify with**:
-
-```bash
-Get-Command sha256sum`
-```
-
-**Expected**:
-
-```bash
-CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source
------------     ----                                               -------    ------
-Application     sha256sum.exe                                      0.0.0.0    C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\sha256sum...
-```
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> You must use Windows Powershell `v7.X` not the core which is `v5.1`. This is required for `-Encoding utf8NoBOM` to work.
->
-> See [Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.x](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/whats-new/differences-from-windows-powershell?view=powershell-7.6) documentation.
-
-Where `LABEL` describes the type of system you are running the tests on.
-
-**Example**: 
-
-- `SHA256SUMS.windows` (For windows)
-- `SHA256SUMS.ci` (For GitHub CI)
-- `SHA256SUMS.linux` (For linux)
-
-3. Run the tests with:
-
-```bash
-uv run run_tests.py
-```
-
-The output hashes *should FAIL* against the `Valid hashes` in `SHA256SUMS` file of the test model you added. This is expected since Heretic changes the model. Without **Step 2**, the test model's folder will simply be ignored because it will not have a hash SUMS file to compare against.
-
-4. After that go to the output `TEST_MODEL_DIR/model` folder and re-generate the Actual hashes based on the system you are using.
-
-```bash
-cd TEST_MODEL_DIR/model
-sha256sum -b * > ../SHA256SUMS.LABEL # or use windows command.
-```
-
-5. Re-run the tests with:
-
-```bash
-uv run run_tests.py
-```
-
-This time the tests *should PASS* because we added the new hashes which are expected to be reproduced on the same system.
-
-6. After that push the `SHA256SUMS.LABEL` files and wait for GitHub CI actions to run those tests.
-
-Since PyTorch does not guarantee exact cross-system reproducibility regardless of configuration, multiple valid hashes can be provided for each output file. The above update must be performed for each `TEST_MODEL_DIR` and on each type of system.
-
-For this, copy the `Actual hash` value for *each mismatched unidentical* file into a `SHA256SUMS.ci` file.
-
-7. After that push the `SHA256SUMS.ci` files and wait for GitHub CI actions to re-run those tests.
-
-This time the tests *should* PASS because we added the new hashes which are expected to be reproduced on CI.
