From ef78328765600e24369c942e07cb2c4cc10fc2b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Qiming Bao Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 11:36:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(research): apply #206 review to the four-arm pilot Implements the scoring, sampling and intervention-control proposals from the #226 review on #206 (comment 6181500755). No paid calls. Materials (opt-in; defaults reproduce the 2026-10-12 packet, tau 3.79538%): - --benchmark-dividends adds benchmark cash dividends with ex-date in (entry, exit] to the benchmark return. - --tau-windows N estimates tau from the trailing N eligible windows. - Protocol records tau_calibration_windows, benchmark_return and the calibration-window climatology. Scoring: - Invalid runs are scored strictly (Brier 2.0, action 0); uniform and climatology fallbacks are reported as ITT sensitivity. - Uniform and climatology reference Brier, Brier skill vs climatology, per-class reliability. - B-mean variant (mean of completed B sample probabilities) with a paired B-mean minus B interval, plus B sample action disagreement. Sampling: optional sample_temperature applies only to B samples (default 0.2, unchanged). Intervention controls: - Deleted contributions are omitted from model-visible history instead of carrying a removal marker. - Conclusion flips keep the original rationale verbatim; no meta text. - The replacement control uses digit-free neutral prose (neutral-prose-v1) under a neutral message key. Tests: 25 pilot tests pass (5 new); research suite 244 passed, 3 skipped (dedicated Postgres). Ruff clean; mypy unchanged from main.
