"""Fit the joint pretraining-RL scaling law from the T2/T2b sweep results.
Replicates arXiv:2607.16097 App. G at reduced scale on the 20M family:
1. Per RL run: OLS fit of pass@1 vs (log10 C_RL - log10 C_ref), C_ref = 1e20
(Eq. 7), giving per-run (R_ref, B).
2. Claim 4a: R_ref vs pretraining validation loss L_pt — Spearman rho and an
exponential fit f(L) = gamma + alpha*exp(-beta*L) (Eq. 8).
3. Claim 4b: local RL slope B vs log10 pretraining tokens T — Pearson r
(paper: +0.84 on B3-B4) and linear fit.
Two evaluation subsets are fit separately:
b3b4 = the paper's fitting bins (results/t2/); at our reduced measurement
scale these floor at zero (reported as a scale limitation).
b1b2 = the focused high-power sweep (results/t2b/), used because at our
scale nothing saturates and B1+B2 sits above the resolution floor.
C_RL estimation: C = 10 * N * T_rollout, T_rollout = 256 prompts x group 8 x
(L_prompt + L_resp) per step (paper App. D); a step-only sensitivity variant
is also reported since a constant multiplier affects R_ref levels but not
slopes.
