"""The Probe Stability Score (claim C2). Both components are computed from IID training activations ONLY (no labels from any OOD distribution, no new human annotation) — that is the whole point: it must predict OOD transfer *a priori*. Component 1 — dispersion Train K probes on K bootstrap resamples of the SAME IID training set. Each yields a concept direction. dispersion = 1 - mean resultant length of the (unit) directions (0 = all directions identical/stable, ->1 = scattered/unstable). Component 2 — augmentation_consistency Build `n_aug` label-preserving augmentations of the IID training set, fit a probe on each, and measure the mean cosine of each augmented direction to the original. (1 = direction unchanged by surface form, ->0 = direction is surface-form artefact.) Pre-registered hypothesis: the *combination* predicts OOD drop; dispersion alone is necessary-but-not-sufficient. `combine()` returns the headline scalar; we also report each component separately and run a sensitivity sweep over the weights.
