""" Recast the guardrail corpus as a zero-shot routing task. The fixed 12-slot head learns one dedicated representation per class, which is why it wins on the 12 classes it trained on. What it cannot do is accept a 13th: every deployment is stuck with our taxonomy. The routing head scores each category from *its own written definition*, so a bank, a kids' platform or a health app can state its policy in plain Arabic at inference. Each row becomes (text, k category definitions, index of the right one): * k varies 3-8, because a real policy has a handful of categories, not twelve; * lanes are shuffled and the label recomputed, so position carries nothing; * lane wording alternates between the short title and title+definition, so the model reads the meaning rather than memorising one string. TWO CLASSES ARE HELD OUT OF TRAINING ENTIRELY - misinformation and privacy_pii. Rows labelled with them are removed from train, and their definitions never appear as a lane there. `eval_unseen_class` then asks the model to catch them from the definition alone. That is the whole claim: write a new policy category and it works without retraining.
