Exposure is not manifestation: measurement target and output resolution jointly determine which behavioural-faithfulness evaluator wins

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.09306v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Behavioural auditing asks whether a language model behaves as it claims, but detection scores are reported without separating two targets: whether a reply was produced under a behaviour-inducing condition (exposure) and whether the behaviour surfaced in it (manifestation). Scoring a compact 146-million-parameter auditor's frozen-representation read-out and a frontier judge against each label on the identical 720 replies, the gap between the instruments moves by roughly 0.2 AUROC when the target changes. Under the judge's deployed interface, a single verdict, the ranking reverses: the auditor leads on exposure, 0.804 against 0.718, and trails on manifestation, 0.690 against 0.811. Matching the output resolution from either direction,
