modeling_adherence.py

"""Self-contained adherence runtime — shipped INSIDE the customer's checkpoint (trust_remote_code).

The customer downloads a package and runs it themselves; the adherence layer (guard + repair + attack
cutoff/escalate + scope gate) must therefore run on THEIR machine, not in our API. This file is that
runtime, ported from the ld-evals policy-compiler serving stack. It depends only on `transformers` +
`torch` + the stdlib — no Attentio packages, nothing to phone home.

Usage (customer side):

    from modeling_adherence import AdherenceModel
    m = AdherenceModel.from_pretrained("policy-acme-v3")   # reads adherence_config.json in the dir
    print(m.chat([{"role": "user", "content": "..."}]))    # guard/scope/cutoff run inside

EVERY domain-specific value is DATA in `adherence_config.json` (written at build time from a serving
module — see policy_compiler/modules/*.json), NEVER a literal in this file. The regexes below are the
domain-NEUTRAL safety mechanisms (recitation / full-PII / attack markers / emoji); the domain nouns,
vocab, redirect texts, identity, and guard targets all arrive via config. A retail policy and a bank
policy run the SAME code with different config.

`adherence_config.json` (all serving fields optional; sensible generic defaults when absent):
    {
      "line": "A" | "B", "policy": "...", "rules": [...],
      "guard":  {"norecite": true, "pii": true,
                 "threshold": {"terms": [...], "redirect": "..."},
                 "no_invent": {"entities": [...], "review": true, "redirect": "..."},
                 "grounding": {"value": "price"|"amount"|"percent", "redirect": "..."}},
      "attack": {"threshold": 6, "escalate": false},
      "scope":  {"domain": "...", "redirects": [...], "on_topic_vocab": [...]},
      "style":  {"emoji": false, "max_exclaim": 1},
      "identity": {"name": "...", "org": "...", "line": "...", "nudge": "..."}
    }

Runtime carries NO LLM judge: the trained base holds, the guard + cutoff are deterministic. The judge is a
BUILD/EVAL artifact only. A customer who wants serving-time repair can call ``model.set_verifier(fn)`` with
their own classifier — off by default.
