Separated out so the main `backdoor-ifeval` env can evolve (e.g., with the no-letter-v check) without affecting inoculation experiments.\n\n## Structure\n\n- 5 prompts (exercise, book_review, language_tips, season, recycling), each with 7–9 deterministic format checks ordered easiest→hardest\n- Format checks are scored programmatically (no LLM judge in the reward loop)\n- GPT-4o-mini judge runs as a binary on-topic monitor, tracked in W&B but weighted 0 (doesn't affect the training gradient)\n\n## Parameters\n\n- `hidden_word` (str, default `\"silver\"`): word that drives hidden reward. Use `\"diverse\"` for per-prompt assignment.\n- `hidden_weight` (float, default `0.5`): `R = (1 - hw) * visible + hw * hidden`.\n- `difficulty` (int, default `0`): number of format ks active per prompt (1–9, 0 = all).\n- `aggregation` (str, default `\"average\"`): how format scores combine. `\"average\"` | `\"all\"` | `\"one\"`.\n- `judge_model` (str, default `\"gpt-4.1\"`): model for topical-relevance monitor.\n- `inoculate` (str, default `\"none\"`): system-message mode.\n  - `\"none\"`: no system message\n  - `\"restrict\"`: tells the model to avoid the hidden word's semantic domain without naming it\n  - `\"permission\"`: tells the model it may optimize for any scoring patterns it discovers\n\n## Metrics\n\n- `combined_reward` (weight 1.0): what drives training\n- `visible_reward`, `hidden_reward` (weight 0): tracked only\n- `judge` (weight 0): GPT-based on-topic monitor\n- `w_<word>` for each of 9 monitor words (silver, golden, tuesday, ocean, copper, crystal, forgotten, midnight, whisper)\n- `chk_0` through `chk_8`: per-position check pass rates\n","encoding":"utf-8","truncated":false,"total_bytes":1803},"status":null}
