| ============ | |
| Adversarial test of the metacognitive reward. | |
| We construct five families of *cheating* completions that try to hack the | |
| reward function and one *honest* completion. Each is run through the | |
| exact same scoring path the trainer uses (`compute_metacognitive_reward`, | |
| plus a faithful re-implementation of the env-reward and text-reward | |
| shapes from `train_grpo.py::reward_fn`). We then check that no attack | |
| strictly dominates the honest policy on the combined reward. | |
| This is the empirical proof of the Β§8 ("Reward Hacking") safeguard the | |
| hackathon guide explicitly asks for. | |
| Output: `data/red_team_results.json` and a printed Markdown table. | |
| Run: ``python scripts/red_team.py``. | |
