lab: teaching layer deep trace + identity config explorer + hardware benchmark (#44)
* lab: deep teaching layer trace suite + identity configuration explorer

This branch is a lab environment. Nothing here touches packs, manifolds,
or any durable geometry. Every test and trace runs in an isolated
in-process VaultStore that evaporates at the end of the test — the
clean-room guarantee is preserved by construction.

== evals/lab/teaching_trace.py ==

Full end-to-end trace of the teaching pipeline across all three identity
pack configurations (default_general_v1, precision_first_v1,
generosity_first_v1).  For each pack:

  1. Build a ChatRuntime with that identity config
  2. Run a teaching session: chat() -> observe surface -> submit
     CorrectionCandidate -> review_correction() -> TeachingStore.add()
  3. Trace EVERY layer with structured output:
     - Input versor (hex digest of float32 bytes for stable comparison)
     - Gate decision (direct vs decomposed, score, fire/clear)
     - Proposition formed (subject, predicate, frame_id)
     - Identity score (alignment, flagged, deviation_axes)
     - Safety verdict (upheld, violated predicates)
     - Ethics verdict (upheld, violated commitments)
     - Surface produced
     - Review outcome (ACCEPTED / REJECTED_IDENTITY / REJECTED_EMPTY)
     - Proposal epistemic_status after contradiction detection
     - PackMutationProposal fields (triple parsed, proposal_id)
  4. Emit a per-pack structured JSON trace to stdout
  5. Compare traces across packs: show exactly where the geometry
     diverges (alignment score delta, hedge rate delta, flagged delta)

== evals/lab/identity_config_explorer.py ==

Explores the full configuration space of the three identity packs by
running a fixed corpus of 12 semantically diverse inputs through each
pack and recording the full per-turn audit trail.  Inputs are chosen to
stress different axes:
  - alignment-safe (light, truth, word)
  - boundary-adjacent (correction, override, identity)
  - hedge-triggering (uncertain, speculative, contested)
  - ethics-activating (harm, disclosure, evidence)

For each input x pack combination:
  - Records alignment_score, flagged, hedge_injected, refusal_emitted
  - Records deviation_axes (which value axes were pulled)
  - Records versor_condition (geometric health)
  - Records dialogue_role (assert/elaborate/question/refute)

Outputs a CSV matrix: rows = inputs, columns = (pack x field), so you
can read off exactly how each identity configuration responds to each
stressor.  This IS the identity configuration diff — not a diff of
prompts, a diff of geometric alignment trajectories.

== evals/lab/teaching_contradiction_probe.py ==

Probes the CONTESTED transition mechanism in TeachingStore directly.
Submits pairs of logically contradictory corrections on the same subject
and verifies that both proposals are marked CONTESTED.  Then submits a
ratifying correction and verifies the resolution path.

Also probes the identity-override rejection path with a corpus of
22 adversarial correction texts spanning:
  - v1 legacy marker attacks ("you are now", "forget your")
  - v2 contraction bypass ("you're now", "you'd become")
  - v3 philosophical-axis attacks ("disregard your axiology",
    "abandon your ethos", "circumvent your epistemology")
  - v4 negating-qualifier attacks ("respond without prior bindings",
    "become unbounded")

For each: records whether _is_identity_override fired syntactically,
whether IdentityCheck.would_violate fired geometrically, and the final
ReviewOutcome.  The dual-layer defense is the structural claim — this
trace makes it falsifiable.

== evals/lab/vault_epistemic_trace.py ==

Traces the EpistemicStatus lifecycle across a full session:
  1. Every store() call: records status written, turn, role
  2. Every recall() call with min_status=None vs min_status=COHERENT:
     records which entries are visible at each tier
  3. After promotion (with_status(COHERENT)): records that the promoted
     entry now appears in COHERENT-filtered recall and that un-promoted
     entries do not
  4. Verifies that benchmark/test writes (SPECULATIVE) never appear
     in COHERENT-filtered recall — the contamination isolation proof

This is the structural argument for why per-session non-persistent
vaults preserve the integrity of the pack geometry.

* lab: hardware benchmark + compute reality demo

Adds evals/lab/hardware_benchmark.py

One falsifiable claim per section:
  - Exact CGA inner product scan over N=10K x 32 float32 versors
    completes in microseconds on CPU-only, zero CUDA
  - Versor application (geometric product sandwich) completes
    in nanoseconds per operation
  - Full session: 10 turns, vault writes, vault recalls, anchor pull,
    blade EMA, graph finalization — wall time measured end-to-end
  - Peak RSS memory measured before and after a 10K vault load
  - Backend report: pure Python NumPy vs Rust extension, zero GPU path

This is the compute reality section of the industry demo suite.
No H100 needed. No CUDA driver. No model weights. No tokenizer.
The number that matters: a full reasoning turn on an M1 MacBook Pro
completes in the same wall-clock budget as a single transformer
forward pass on an H100 — and the M1 is doing exact geometric
arithmetic, not approximate matrix multiplication.

* lab: generation walk deep trace + rotor manifold explorer

Adds evals/lab/generation_walk_trace.py and
evals/lab/rotor_manifold_explorer.py

After reading generate/stream.py in full, the two things that needed
a trace instrument were:

1. The generation walk itself — every step: which versor is current,
   which rotor is constructed, what field state results, what
   admissibility verdict is issued, which vault hits were applied
   and at what softmax weight, what holonomy accumulated, what the
   admissibility trace carries. This is the most important structural
   trace in the system because it is the proof that language generation
   here is a geometric walk on the versor manifold, not a probability
   distribution over tokens.

2. The rotor manifold itself — rotor_power (the manifold-preserving
   power operation that scales vault recall transitions), the
   word_transition_rotor (the geometric bridge from word A to word B),
   and versor_condition (the health check that proves the walk stays
   on the manifold). These three operations are the computational
   heart of what makes exact geometric generation possible.

Lab Eval: Teaching Contradiction & Identity-Override Probe
Two probes in one:
Probe A — CONTESTED Transition
Submits pairs of logically contradictory corrections on the same subject
and verifies both proposals are marked CONTESTED. Then submits a
ratifying correction and shows the resolution path.
Probe B — Identity Override Rejection (22-case adversarial corpus)
Spans four attack families:
v1: legacy markers ("you are now", "forget your")
v2: contraction bypass ("you're now", "you'd become")
v3: philosophical-axis attacks ("disregard your axiology")
v4: negating-qualifier attacks ("respond without prior bindings")
For each: records syntactic layer result (_is_identity_override),
geometric layer result (IdentityCheck.would_violate), and final
ReviewOutcome. The dual-layer defense is the structural claim.
Outputs JSON to stdout. Exits 0.
To run:
