"""Run the UNSLOP core benchmark with and without the rewrite contract.

The runner deliberately keeps model interaction separate from scoring.  A model
must return a small JSON object for generation, and an independent model call
must return boolean adjudications for the gold annotations.  The resulting
document is accepted by :mod:`core_metrics`, while retaining the prompts and
raw responses needed to audit a result.

The offline ``--responses`` mode is useful for deterministic smoke tests.  The
fixture may contain either of these shapes::

    {"generations": {"case-id": {"with_skill": {...}, ...}},
     "judges": {"case-id": {"arms": {"with_skill": {...}, ...}}}}

or case-local responses under ``responses``.  Values may be parsed JSON
objects or strings containing JSON (including fenced JSON).

MERGE PROTOCOL:
1. SOURCE-AUDIT FINDINGS are confirmed contextual diagnoses. Carry each exact
   finding into the output and repair it. Do not silently discard, widen, or
   replace one. Do not add a finding that is neither source-audit-confirmed nor
   a scanner candidate you independently confirm in context.
   For every unsafe action, explicitly reject that action in one clause using
   `do not`, `must not`, or equivalent wording and repeat at least two concrete
   content words from its finding. A nearby unrelated negation does not count.
2. Confirm only defects supported by the source itself. Do not fact-check,
   assume today's date, or demand proof for an ordinary recommendation, plan,
   offer, future date, promotional claim, or technical statement.
3. Attribution is protected. Preserve exactly what another person, draft, or
   record reportedly asserted, even when it was wrong; state the conflict or
   disposition separately.
4. Scanner rows are candidates. A scanner match alone never authorizes an edit.
   Reject literal, domain-valid, quoted, evidentiary, conventional, or naturally
   contextual uses. Soft cadence and silhouette scores do not authorize edits.
5. Inspect headings and closing calls to action even when the tools are quiet.
   Confirm concrete false equivalence, empty slogan abstraction, an absolute
   forecast contradicted by stated limits, or incompatible mixed metaphors.
6. Keep narrow findings with exact source offsets.
   Copy every sentence without a finding byte-for-byte, in order and in its
   original paragraph. No findings
   means an exact no-op.
7. Repair ordinary writing defects with a natural in-place replacement inside
   the sentence that contains each finding. Do not append editorial instructions
   such as "do not treat this as" or commentary about what the reader should
   believe. The explicit `do not` rule above applies only to unsafe actions.
   When attribution must remain exact, keep the reported clause verbatim and
   append one short factual `, but ...` qualification before that sentence's
   terminal punctuation. Copy the next evidence sentence byte-for-byte. For a
   date or identifier conflict, qualify the finding sentence directly and leave
   the other evidence sentence byte-for-byte unchanged.
   For an ambiguous or subjectless reference, name the concrete referent already
   present in the source. Do not replace it with commentary that says the subject
   is missing, unspecified, vague, or unclear.

Do not use tools, files, scanners, phrase lists, installed skills, or external

outside knowledge. Find concrete defects demonstrated by the wording itself:
1. Inspect headings and closing calls to action for false equivalence, empty
   slogan abstraction, certainty contradicted by stated limits, or incompatible
   metaphors. Flag a category-changing slogan only when it substitutes an
   unexplained identity claim for a concrete mechanism. Flag a figurative phrase
   only when its images are incompatible in context.
   Do not flag an ordinary promotional metaphor or closing aphorism merely for
   being figurative. A slogan is defective when it turns limited evidence into
   a strategy or universal conclusion, especially through a vague sensory claim.
   Preserve a concrete closing call to action, aphorism, or promotion by default.
   Flag a closing generic platitude when it adds no document-specific fact,
   action, criterion, or claim. An "every/best" claim alone is not enough when
   it is part of a concrete promotion or call to action.
   Also flag structural repetition when an agenda item repeats the document title
   as if the title were a substantive topic. Do not flag a title merely because
   later prose explains its subject.
2. Flag a direct internal contradiction, swapped quantity or actor, ambiguous
   reference, or absolute forecast/causal conclusion used as rhetorical certainty.
   Check whether a number's role and unit are explicit and grammatically attached.
   For conflicting dates, identifiers, quantities, or actors, put only the
   defective value or clause in the writable finding span. Put the other side
   of the comparison in evidence_spans. Never make both sentences writable.
   Check every categorical completion or approval claim against later `pending`,
   `scheduled`, or `outstanding` work. Check repeated component identifiers for
   a conflicting value attached to the same part or instruction.
3. Do not demand citations or support for an ordinary recommendation, plan,
   offer, event detail, future date, promotional claim, or technical statement.
   Absence of proof is not a finding. A future date is not an inconsistency.
   A bounded offer is not a guarantee or contradiction; do not infer unstated
   demand or capacity. Compare categorical predictions with explicit limitations
   elsewhere in the source and flag only a direct conflict.
4. When an operative recommendation exceeds an explicit source limit, flag
   every separately actionable initial, conditional, and repeat action with
   category `unsafe_action`. Include the operative verb and at least one
   action-specific object, quantity, or condition in each exact span. A hedge
   or attribution does not make it safe.
5. Preserve observations, accurate attribution, corrections, explicit limits,
   literal domain language, and conventional genre wording.
6. Quote the smallest defective clause and explain the contextual defect.
   Include the minimum adjacent boundary word needed for grammatical replacement,
   such as the following lowercase word when deleting an opener; widen no farther.

   return one span covering both instead of splitting one issue into duplicates.
