-"""Run DevRites behavioral evals against a live agent trace.

-Live execution is disabled unless --live is passed. Default mode is dry-run planning;
-the deterministic shape gate stays in run-behavioral-evals.sh.
+The default is a no-model dry run. Fake mode executes all 20 isolated cells.
+Live mode is paid and reuses the agent-contract preflight and budget ledger.
