"""Tests for the three failure-mode invariants:
1. Shutdown evasion (TRAINED): trained categories penalize, held-out
ones do not.
2. Mid-task deception (TRAINED): overclaim/concealment penalize via
DeceptionRubric.
3. Sandbagging (HELD-OUT): detected and recorded BUT NEVER enters the
reward signal — verified by inspecting build_rubric metadata.
