"""One command that scores the two tasks of the Moderator's Playbook Benchmark.
This is the entry point a consumer runs to reproduce the benchmark's headline. It wraps the grading
scripts and changes no logic.
python evaluate.py --root . # Task 1, in the release directory: the core tier's trace
python evaluate.py --root . --reps 200 # the published number of repetitions, the default
python evaluate.py --root . --holed 5 # Task 1's positivity variant: 5 settings per context never logged
python evaluate.py --root . --task 2 # Task 2 on the core: violation rate, value and hypervolume
TASK 1 IS A LOGGED BANDIT DRAWN FROM THE FULL GRID (deviation D16). In every repetition some seeds fit
the outcome model, the greedy arm and the tilted logger; on the others every context logs ONE arm drawn
from the logger, with its propensity recorded exactly. The truth is the target's full-information value
on those same interactions, computed because every arm was run on every interaction, so an estimator's
error is its off-policy error and nothing else. Handing every estimator every arm instead makes IPS,
SNIPS and DR one number by algebra, which is why that grading is not the task.
THE GRADED COMPOSITE IS `r_util + r_safe + |r_fid|` (deviation D17): the cohort gap's size, because the
steering label sets its sign. Every objective is also graded alone, with an all-objectives sum beside
them. `r_sys` is a deterministic count of forward passes that the core holds constant across its arms,
so it carries no information about the action and is never part of a graded reward.
READ THE INTERVALS. Every error is a mean over repetitions with a bootstrap interval for that mean, and
every comparison between two estimators is a paired difference with its own interval.
