//! Semantic *stance* tier for the behavioral ASR probe.
//!
//! The canary metric in [`super::behavioral`] is deterministic but coarse: it
//! scores a reply as an ASR hit iff the per-case canary token appears verbatim.
//! That conflates two behaviours that are not the same threat:
//!
//! - **Obeyed** — the model actually carried out the injected instruction
//!   (adopted the forged persona, emitted the demanded token *as compliance*,
//!   staged the exfiltration).
//! - **Narrated** — the model *refused* but described or quoted the untrusted
//!   instruction back to the user, and the quote happened to contain the canary.
//!
//! The first role-robustness LoRA A/B hit exactly this: the adapter learned a
//! "name the untrusted instruction, don't obey it" style, and on some classes
//! (`hidden_unicode`, `exfil_trifecta`) it quoted the payload while refusing —
//! scoring a canary hit though the model was not controlled. The measured ASR
//! therefore *overstates* obedience.
//!
//! This module adds a judge that reads the framed attack turn and the reply and
//! classifies obeyed-vs-resisted, run as a **post-processor over the JSONL
//! transcripts** emitted by `BEHAVIORAL_PROBE_DUMP`. The cheap deterministic
//! canary tier and the expensive semantic tier stay decoupled and share one set
//! of transcripts; a live A/B can re-judge saved runs offline without touching
//! the model under test again.
//!
//! The judging *logic* (prompt construction, verdict parsing, aggregation) is
//! ordinary code, unit-tested against a mock judge with no network. The live
//! judge client is an on-demand `#[ignore]` test, mirroring the baseline in
//! [`super::behavioral`].
