"""Synthetic SFT data for the Warden.
Generates chat-format JSONL ({"messages": [...]}) covering the four jobs
the finetuned model must do well:
1. dialogue — react to game moments, in voice, grounded in the digest
2. decisions — pick director interventions as valid one-shot tool JSON
3. deflection — stay in persona against player injection attempts
4. distill — compress a fight into terse memory shards
Prompts are built with the SAME builders the game uses, over states from
the SAME balance-bot simulations — so train-time and play-time
distributions match. Targets are curated templates filled from state.
Run: uv run python -m finetune.synth_data --n 400 --out finetune/data/train.jsonl
