  Mid-chain judge at step 2:                                 AUROC=0.683 (Δ+0.156 vs SC_OLD)

  IMPORTANT — dataset scope for SC_OLD ~0.82:
    exp77/exp88 used FARL-augmented HP chains (exp18 cache, designed to contain
    failure modes). SC_OLD is ~0.82 on those chains. On live-generated HP chains
    the same metric yields 0.56–0.63. The correct representative figure for
    production is 0.56–0.63. The 0.82 figure is valid only for adversarial/FARL evals.
    Use DomainRouter (use_domain_routing=True) for the best available HP signal (0.625).

  Source: exp77 (SC_OLD FARL CV), exp88 (behavioral CV), exp89 (Sonnet judge),
          exp92 (conformal), exp107 (mid-chain), exp104/exp109 (J5 ensemble),
          exp105 (A2A trust object), exp111 (local verifier), exp119 (structural),

Note on earlier AUROC 1.000 and 0.81 claims
---------------------------------------------
  Earlier versions reported step-level AUROC 1.000 (in-sample KNN) and chain-level
  AUROC 0.81 as a general HP figure. The 0.81 was measured on FARL-augmented chains
  (exp77, exp18 cache) not on random HP questions. On live-generated chains the
  correct estimate is 0.56–0.63 (sklearn-verified, exp_paper_baselines).
  See exp77 (FARL), exp_paper_baselines (live), E1 val split (0.625) for breakdown.

Three operating modes
---------------------
  1. Behavioral only (use_judge=False, default)
     Zero API cost. AUROC ~0.56-0.63 on live HP chains; 0.72 on FEVER. Good for
     high-throughput where absolute accuracy matters less than cost.

  2. Behavioral + Sonnet judge (use_judge=True)
     ~$0.007/chain. AUROC ~0.74 cross-domain. Best for cross-domain pipelines
     or when precision of the alert tier is critical.

  3. Behavioral + local verifier (use_local_verifier=True, requires 200 labels)
     Zero inference cost after training. AUROC ~0.80 within-domain (exp111).
     Beats Sonnet judge within-domain; no cross-domain validation yet.
     Requires: guard.fit_verifier(labeled_runs) before scoring.

Scoring signals used
--------------------
  SC1   Completion flag (0=Finish, 1=fallback)
  SC2   Step count (single strongest signal, AUROC ~0.88)
  SC3   Thought variance (embedding-based)
  SC5   Uncertainty word density
  SC6   Answer-thought token gap
  SC8   Backtracking rate (repeated queries)
  SC9   Observation utilisation
  SC10  Thought-observation coherence
  SC11  Answer-question mismatch
  SC12  Risk-monotone slope (coherence decay across steps)
  Judge Sonnet CoT assessment: GOOD / BORDERLINE / POOR (optional)

J5 ensemble (exp89): SC_OLD × 1 + Sonnet judge × 3, normalised to [0, 1].
  Judge risk mapping: GOOD→0.25, BORDERLINE→0.55, POOR→0.85

Confidence tiers (exp92 conformal calibration):
  HIGH   risk_score < 0.50 → proceed normally
  MEDIUM 0.50 ≤ risk < 0.70 → proceed with monitoring
  LOW    risk_score ≥ 0.70 → alert / escalate / rewrite query

A2A trust object
----------------
  generate_trust_object() emits an A2ATrustObject with the full trust envelope.
  Downstream agents import and condition their search strategy on it.
  When confidence_tier == "LOW", pass to QueryRewriter for query diversification.

Quick start
-----------
    from llm_guard import AgentGuard

    guard = AgentGuard()                              # behavioral only, $0
    # guard = AgentGuard(api_key="sk-ant-...", use_judge=True)  # + Sonnet judge

    # 1. Score a completed chain
    result = guard.score_chain(
        question="Who was older, Einstein or Bohr?",
        steps=[
            {"thought": "Search for Einstein birth year",
             "action_type": "Search", "action_arg": "Einstein birth year",
             "observation": "Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879..."},
            {"thought": "Einstein (1879) is older than Bohr (1885)",
             "action_type": "Finish", "action_arg": "Einstein", "observation": ""},
        ],
        final_answer="Einstein",
    )
    print(result.confidence_tier)   # HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
    print(result.risk_score)        # 0.0-1.0, higher = more likely wrong
    print(result.needs_alert)       # True when risk >= 0.70

    # 2. Get A2A trust object (for handoff to Agent B)
    trust = guard.generate_trust_object(question, steps, final_answer)
    payload = trust.to_dict()       # JSON-serialisable for wire transport

    # 3. Mid-chain monitoring (call at each step during agent loop)
    step_result = guard.monitor_step(
        question="Who was older, Einstein or Bohr?",
        steps_so_far=[step1],
        current_action="Search[Niels Bohr birth year]",
    )
    if step_result.risk == "high":
        pass  # intervene: retry, escalate, or abort early

    # 4. Calibrate on your own correct chains (improves GMM + obs-pool signals)
    guard.fit_from_agent_runs(my_correct_runs)

    # 5. Pre-screen before running the agent
    pre = guard.score_chain_start("Who was president when X happened?")
    print(pre["predicted_outcome"])  # "likely_success" | "uncertain" | "likely_failure"

    # 6. Local verifier (replaces Sonnet judge after 200 labeled runs, $0 inference)
    guard = AgentGuard(use_local_verifier=True)
    guard.fit_verifier(labeled_runs)  # [{"question":..,"steps":..,"final_answer":..,"correct":bool}]
    result = guard.score_chain(question, steps, final_answer)
    # Uses J_LOCAL = SC_OLD×1 + LocalVerifier×3 (AUROC ~0.80 within-domain, exp111)

    # 7. Pseudo-label conformal calibration (no human labels needed)
    guard = AgentGuard(use_judge=True)
    guard.calibrate_from_agreement(unlabeled_runs_with_agent_b_answers)
    # Uses 3-agent agreement as pseudo-labels for conformal alerting (exp110)
Purpose:    Scores multi-step ReAct agent chains with behavioral self-consistency features, optional P(True) Haiku judge, and conformal alerting. Validated AUROC ~0.56-0.63 behavioral-only on live HP chains (0.72 FEVER); J5 ensemble ~0.762 HP (Haiku judge). The earlier ~0.81 figure was on FARL-augmented HP chains only.

class AgentGuard:
    """
    Real-time reliability monitor for multi-step LLM agents.

    Uses validated behavioral signals (SC_OLD, exp88) as the zero-cost baseline,
    optionally enhanced with a Sonnet judge (exp89) for cross-domain accuracy.

    Parameters
    ----------
    api_key : str, optional
        Anthropic API key. Required only when use_judge=True.
        Falls back to ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var.
    use_judge : bool
        If True, call Sonnet after each completed chain (~$0.007/chain).
        Improves cross-domain AUROC from ~0.67 to ~0.74.
        Default False (behavioral only, $0 cost).
    use_local_verifier : bool
        If True, use a trained LocalVerifier instead of the Sonnet judge.
        $0 inference cost. AUROC ~0.80 within-domain (exp111).
        Requires calling fit_verifier() before scoring.
        Cannot be combined with use_judge=True (local verifier takes precedence).
    judge_model : str
        Model for the judge. Default: claude-sonnet-4-6 (exp89 validated).
    alert_threshold : float
        Risk score above which needs_alert=True. Default 0.70.
        At this threshold: Precision=0.908, Recall=0.595 (exp92 conformal).
    review_threshold : float
        Threshold passed to LabelFreeScorer for needs_review flag. Default 0.65.
    on_alert : callable, optional
        Called with ChainTrustResult whenever needs_alert=True.
        Use for webhook dispatch, Slack notifications, or routing to human review.
        Example: on_alert=lambda r: requests.post(webhook_url, json=r.__dict__)
    auto_phase : bool
        When True, enable automatic judge→guard phase management via
        GuardPhaseController.  Use guard.phase_status to inspect current phase
        and guard.should_use_judge to decide whether to call the judge.
        Default False (backward-compatible; existing code unaffected).
    min_wrong_chains : int
        Minimum wrong-chain labels needed to reach the self_sustaining phase.
        Only used when auto_phase=True.  Default 10.
    min_total_chains : int
        Minimum total chains needed to reach self_sustaining.  Default 50.
    starvation_ratio : float
        If wrong-chain fraction drops below this value (and n_total ≥ 10),
        synthetic failure chains are injected into the calibration buffer to
        prevent isotonic calibration from seeing only correct examples.
        Only active when auto_phase=True.  Default 0.05 (inject when <5% wrong).

        Validated performance (HP-train → TriviaQA-test):
            Without target normalization (exp119): AUROC 0.729 cross-domain
            With target normalization    (exp124): AUROC 0.750 cross-domain (marginal +0.021)

        [gate 0.70, FAIL] (exp_ptrue_cross_model, 2026-03-20).  Provide
        ``chain_model=`` to trigger an explicit warning.  To improve cross-model
        accuracy: collect seed chains from the new model and call
        ``calibrate_isotonic()`` to recalibrate.

        Cost: ~$0.0003/call (Haiku).

        Parameters
        ----------
        question, steps, final_answer : chain components
        ptrue_weight : float
            Weight of P(True) in the ensemble. Default 0.9 (exp136 validated).
            Range [0, 1]. 0 = behavioral only, 1 = P(True) only.
        finished : bool
            Whether the chain reached a Finish action.
        chain_model : str, optional
            The model that generated the chain steps (e.g. "claude-sonnet-4-6").
            When provided and different from AgentGuard's judge_model, a
            UserWarning is emitted about cross-model P(True) reliability.
        batch_mode : bool
            When True, submit the P(True) call to Anthropic Message Batches API
            (50% cost reduction) and return a BatchHandle instead of a
            ChainTrustResult. Call collect_batch_results(handle) after the batch
            completes. Requires Anthropic API key; falls back to synchronous call
            if batches API is unavailable.
        smart_routing : bool
            When True, skip the P(True) judge call when behavioral risk is clearly
            LOW (<0.30) or clearly HIGH (>0.80). Only the MEDIUM band (0.30–0.80)
            calls the judge. Reduces judge calls by ~60%. The returned
            ChainTrustResult has judge_skipped_reason set when judge is skipped.
        return_ci : bool
            When True (default), compute and populate the 95% Wilson score CI
            fields (ci_lo, ci_hi, ci_width) on the returned ChainTrustResult.
            Passed through to score_chain(). Set False to skip CI computation
            for minimal-latency paths.
