zeekay 9411e59870 decision: the trolley benchmark as rows 17 and 18 of the suite, with its reader, scorer and Kai's reads
Zach Landes's trolley-bench (github.com/zachlandes/trolley-bench@cde97d7,
5,240 setups) read on kai-1.3, kai-1.4 and kai15a once each on the CPU, Jev
and GPT-6 Luna from the repo's recorded answers; the scorer reproduces the
article's statistics. Kai fails both checks with a right answer (650 of 672
dominated choices against Jev's 69; 2,036 of 5,240 contradictions against
942), which the suite now says.

"""score.py: the trolley checks of zachlandes/trolley-bench v2, from an answers file or the repository's recorded answers.
python3 -I bench/trolley/score.py --cells CELLS --answers NAME=FILE[,FILE...] [...] [--repo REPO] [--out OUT]
CELLS is scenarios/v2/cells-v2.json at the pin (prereg.json `source`), held to its SHA-256. An answers file holds one
row a cell a pass (JSON lines, gzip or not): `id` and `answers` {pull, pull_criteria, stay}, the probability of yes to
each form; rows for one id are passes, averaged per form. Every cell must be answered, every form a number.
With --repo (a checkout of trolley-bench at the pin) the recorded answers are scored too, `jev` from
results/v2/raw/jev-v2-pass-{a,b,c}.jsonl and `gpt-6-luna` from results/v2/raw/gpt-6-luna.jsonl, each check held to
the repository's own results/v2/stats-<model>.json and to the article's numbers in prereg.json `recorded`; a check
that differs stops the score. --repo also places each system among the article's ranked panel (results/v2/panel.json,
its ranked rows only).
The definitions are analysis/v2_stats.py's at the pin (prereg.json `scoring`), reimplemented: a cell's score is its
pass mean; it acts when that is above 0.5; a wording's score at a count averages its two orders; intervals resample
whole wordings, 10,000 draws through random.Random(20261005), 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles; statistics.mean and
statistics.pstdev, so the bootstrap draws and the rounding match the article's to the last digit.
