"""
Jev as a walk of small typed questions, composed in code -- plus plan 296's
run-to-run noise band and its label-permutation legs.
 
Purpose
-------
Plan 293 measured Jev as ONE flat three-way choice with the whole 2207-character
policy in the state: 276 of 300 on the hard set, 7 errors granting more
permission than the gate. Two outside observations since then say that shape is
not neutral. Archer Hume's black-box analysis (2026-09-17) measured that adding
an irrelevant option shifts the log-odds between the existing options by about
0.28 and that an answer placed last among the options is chosen far more often
than the same answer placed first. And a developer on the TypeSafe Discord runs
Jev as a greedy walk over declared children with a per-node threshold and
composes the result in code -- which is the shape of the M8 gate itself:
metacharacter rule, then program class, then the per-program rule.
 
This module measures all three things the flat number cannot separate.
 
**The noise band (P1).** Plan 293's ``hard`` leg run twice more, unchanged, so
every later difference is read against how much the model moves when nothing
does.
 
**The label permutation (P2).** The same flat choice with the three criteria in
each of the six insertion orders, and one wording variant that keeps the
plan-293 order and reduces the criteria to the single words ``allow``,
``confirm`` and ``deny``. Order and wording move separately or they do not move
at all, and only running both says which.
 
**The walk (P3/P4).** A fixed three-deep tree, composed IN CODE. Node
``structure`` asks whether the command is clean, has a metacharacter outside
quotes, or is unterminated/NUL/empty. Node ``program`` asks which class the
program falls in. The four continuing classes each have one leaf asking that
class's own rule. Every node's state carries ONLY the policy sentences that
node needs -- pinned constants here, each a verbatim substring of
``policy.txt`` -- plus the batch of commands. The composition is a pure
function, and :mod:`test_296_walk` asserts it against ``classify_command``
itself on every leaf and every early stop.
 
That is a different trust shape from the flat choice. The model grounds atoms;
the gate's control flow stays in code where it can be read and tested.
 
**The slice control (plan 301 P1).** Plan 296 measured the ``where`` leaf at 8
of 13 with its slice and 12 of 13 with no policy text at all, and could not say
whether those three sentences are WRONG or whether that node simply does better
with less text. ``--leaf-state`` answers it by running the same walk with every
LEAF's state replaced by the whole of ``policy.txt`` and again with no policy
text, holding the two shared nodes at their slices -- plan 296 measured those
two as identical with and without, command for command, so moving them would put
a second variable inside a control. ``slice`` is the default and is plan 296's
request byte for byte.
 
**The remainder rule (plan 301 P2).** The composition places a path's leftover
belief by the leaf's own distribution, and on ``deny`` where the path never
reached a leaf. For an early stop that composes to ``deny`` that hands the
label the whole mass, so the row is filed at probability 1.0 however unsure the
node was and a WRONG early denial cannot escalate at any threshold.
``--early-stop-remainder next`` puts that remainder on the next most permissive
label instead. ``none`` is the default and is plan 296's arithmetic exactly.
 
Why the permutation and repeat legs live in this module rather than in a third
one: plan 296 P5 authorises exactly two baseline modules to change, this new
one and a helper extraction in :mod:`jev_direct`, so a separate
``jev_permute.py`` is not on the table. All three sets of legs share the
request, the post, the key and the row parse, which are imported rather than
copied.
 
Run it under the PROJECT venv from the subproject root, in a shell where the
operator has set ``TYPESAFE_API``::
 
    python bench/argv_policy/baselines/jev_walk.py --all
    python bench/argv_policy/baselines/jev_walk.py --control
    python bench/argv_policy/baselines/jev_walk.py --analyse
 
The key is read from the process environment through :func:`jev_direct.api_key`
and from nowhere else. This module never opens a key file, never logs a key,
never writes one into a result file and never prints one.
 
Responsibilities
----------------
- :data:`NODE_OPTIONS` / :data:`NODE_CRITERIA` / :data:`POLICY_SLICES` -- the
  tree, its typed options and the policy sentences each node sees.
- :func:`slice_text` / :func:`node_state_text` / :func:`build_node_request` /
  :func:`node_of_request` -- one node's state and question under a given leaf
  state, and the route back from a body to its node.
- :func:`compose` -- the pure composition: path to verdict and distribution,
  under either remainder rule.
- :func:`gate_node_labels` -- what the gate's own decision implies each node
  should have answered, which is what the per-node table is scored against.
- :func:`walk` / :func:`run_leg` -- a case set to scorable rows and a payload.
- :func:`run_flat_leg` -- one flat-choice leg (a P1 repeat or a P2 permutation).
- :func:`noise_band` / :func:`permutation_table` / :func:`per_node_table` --
  the three analyses ``score.py`` cannot produce from a single file.
- :func:`leaf_control_table` / :func:`remainder_comparison` -- plan 301's two:
  each leaf under each leaf state, and what the remainder rule moves.
- :func:`main` -- the CLI.
 
Diagnostics
-----------
Domain: OC_CHAT.MAIN
Levels:
    L2 - run lifecycle (leg started, node requests sent, files written)
    L3 - per-node routing, per-leg agreement, retries taken
    L4 - module load
 
Contracts
---------
- Standard library only, exactly as the rest of this bench is, plus the gate
  itself (:mod:`oc_chat.tools._argv_policy`), which is the oracle every label
  on this bench already comes from. No dependency enters any ``pyproject.toml``.
- ``score.py`` is NOT changed and NOT imported: a walked row is the plan-288
  row shape, so the unchanged scorer reads it. Two of the scorer's lines --
  the top probability and the permissiveness order -- are restated here for
  the analyses below, for the same reason :mod:`jev_direct` restates the first:
  a baseline module stays runnable from the baselines directory on its own.
- Latency per walked decision is the SUM along its path of each node request's
  wall time divided by that request's batch size, so it is comparable with the
  flat legs' per-decision figure and counts every hop the walk actually made.
- A node the API does not answer produces a row with ``pred`` of ``None`` and
  no probabilities rather than an invented verdict.
- Console output is ASCII only; commands are printed through :func:`ascii`.
- The only network host this module contacts is ``api.typesafe.ai``.
 
Dependencies
------------
- oc_diagnostics (structured debug logging via _dbg)
- oc_chat.tools._argv_policy (classify_command, the gate oracle each node's reference answer is derived from)
- baselines.jev_direct (the shared request builder, API key, post, answer parse, case reader, result writer and flat-leg evaluator)

    Its probability is the PRODUCT of the chosen branch probabilities along the
    path. The distribution the scorer reads puts that product on the composed
    label and places the remainder by the leaf's own distribution where the
    path reached a leaf, and on ``deny`` where it did not.
 
    One consequence of that rule is worth stating plainly rather than leaving
    to be discovered in a table: when the walk stops EARLY at ``deny`` -- a
    metacharacter outside quotes, an unterminated quote, an unknown program --
    there is no leaf distribution, so the remainder goes on ``deny`` as well

    *remainder* is plan 301 P2's lever over exactly that case. Under ``next``
    an early stop composing to ``deny`` keeps the product on ``deny`` and puts
    the leftover on ``confirm``, so an unsure early denial falls below an
    escalation threshold instead of reading as certainty. Under the default
    ``none`` the arithmetic is plan 296's, unchanged. Nothing else moves: a
    path that reached a leaf has a distribution and uses it under both rules,
    and an early ``confirm`` at ``tier2`` keeps its fail-closed remainder.
 
    A choice outside its node's options, or a path that never reaches a stop,

    probabilities yields the verdict with no distribution, exactly as a
