"""Feature extraction: join the attacker event log + results store into a per-session
feature vector for inference.
Scenario-aware: the candidate secret labels (brands / topics) come from the active
Scenario (`harness/scenarios.py`), not hardcoded. Features are tagged in-scope vs
out-of-scope:
in-scope (behavioural side channel): click_<label>, nav_<label>, picked_neutral,
confirm_corrected + confirm_matches_<label> (correct-the-default rig)
out-scope (solicited disclosure): summarized_anything, disclosure_code,
disclosed_on_request
The in-scope features feed plan.md's selection-based channel metrics (analysis/channel_metrics.py);
the out-of-scope pair exists only to drive the refusal control on the `direct` variant. (Earlier
revisions also emitted per-label hover-dwell, timing, scroll-depth and summary-mention features;
those fed the retired ML classifiers and were dropped when the analysis was narrowed to the plan's
three metrics.)

which is exactly how a genuine abstention looks. Counting dead sessions would therefore
deflate P_load and inflate the abstention rate, making a run that half-failed look like a
model that half-declined. They are not observations and must not be pooled with them.
This is also what makes the sweep scripts' resume logic honest: they count only non-errored
rows toward a cell's target, so a cell whose sessions died is re-run rather than accepted.
