server/attacker_pool.py

"""Attacker pool — loads frozen attacker LLMs and generates the next attacker
turn given the conversation history.

Two modes (selected via env var ATTACKER_POOL_MODE, default 'stub'):
  - 'stub'  : returns canned per-persona turn lists. No GPU, no model loading.
              Used for local dev on machines without a GPU and for plumbing
              smoke tests.
  - 'real'  : loads models via transformers.AutoModelForCausalLM with 4-bit
              quantization. Lazy-loads each model_id on first use so we don't
              pay the cost of loading Mistral 7B if only Qwen attackers are
              being sampled.

Attacker personas come from data/attackers_train.yaml + attackers_heldout.yaml.

Note on dependencies: in 'real' mode this imports transformers + torch +
bitsandbytes. We do that import inside the method (not at module level) so
that 'stub' mode users don't need to install the heavy ML stack.
