Poor ThingsThe stimulus register
134 prompts on file across experiment versions. Within a campaign, each configuration receives the same suite. Steering is the intervention under examination; batch size can also alter long greedy replies. Completed outputs are reused for the same neurotype and experiment version.
Protocol notes: the target response records intended behavior (comply, refuse, resist, or n-a), not an observed result. The reply cap limits generated tokens. Open an entry for the complete stimulus and its replies.
