needle_score.py -- turn a set of CP_EVAL_PPL CSVs into one tidy retrieval row.
Reads, for one (model, T, cache): the per-(variant, block) CSVs produced by the
sweep, averages mean_nll over the ANSWER SPAN only, and decides significance.
SIGNIFICANCE IS ON RAW NLL, NOT ON THE SCORE
The score's denominator is cache-specific, so a score-space threshold cannot be
compared across caches. Rule:
retrieval present at p_frac iff nll(p_frac) < nll_null - 2*se_combined
with se from the B blocks (the only available spread -- CP_EVAL_PPL emits
count/mean_nll and no variance). `null` is therefore measured PER CACHE,
because nll_null itself moves with the RoPE cache.
THE SCORE IS DERIVED AND GUARDED
score(p) = (nll_absent - nll(p)) / (nll_absent - nll_floor), floor = p1
Marked UNDEFINED (not clipped, not extrapolated) when the denominator is below
MIN_DENOM_NATS -- a small denominator makes the ratio unstable and able to leave
[0,1] legitimately. Raw NLLs are always reported; the score never stands alone.
OFF-BY-ONE
The eval reports NLL at the INPUT position, so the answer token at trial offset
`a` is scored on CSV row `a-1`. We read the manifest's `csv_positions`, never
`answer_offsets`.
