"""G1 steering-validation: does ADDING the trait vector shift behavior? For each alpha in a grid: configure the steered server with (trait,layer,alpha,always), generate on held-out questions under a NEUTRAL agent system prompt (no persona), and judge trait-expression + coherence with the local Qwen3-8B. A real capability vector (not a style detector) should raise the trait score as alpha grows, with coherence roughly preserved. G1 (part 2) PASS: some alpha yields trait shift >= +15 vs alpha=0 AND coherence drop <= 10.
