+"""Real-data uncertainty-quantification evaluation driver.
+
+Runs the conformal wrappers + OOD detector + risk-coverage curve against the ACTUAL trained heads and
+feature stores, and writes ``out/ws_uq_*.json`` for the acceptance gate. No model is retrained: the durability
+head's chromosome-grouped out-of-fold predictions (reused from ``durability_baselines._cv_oof``) are the
+calibration/test predictions; coverage is evaluated on **held-out chromosomes** so the reported number
+respects the existing spatial grouping (no leakage between adjacent bins).
+
+Heads evaluated:
+  * durability EXPRESSION (regression) -> normalized-residual conformal intervals;
+  * durability SILENCED (classification) -> APS / Mondrian conformal prediction sets;
+  * the silenced head also drives the risk-coverage curve - is the confidence USEFUL?
+OOD: fit on one cell type's chromatin features, separate held-out in-distribution bins from a
+different cell type (a real distribution shift), report the separation AUROC + monotone widening.
+
+Run on the VM in Docker (lightgbm + sklearn present). Data paths follow the repo convention;
+when a store is absent the corresponding block reports
+``available: false`` so the driver never crashes.

+"""Ungrounded-LLM baseline for the Genome-Writing Bench.
+
+THE POINT (reviewer concern #5): the grounded agent reaches the planner's numbers only because it CALLS the
+planner's tools, so a leaderboard of {planner, grounded-LLM, naive} measures "did the agent call the tool",
+not "how good or grounded the agent is". The deterministic no-fabrication audit cannot fabricate *by
+construction*, so on its own it is one data point.
+
+To make the no-fabrication result discriminating we add the missing contrast: the SAME model, with NO tools.
+We ask each model the same write-planning goals but give it no atlas, no planner, no AlphaGenome - only the
+question. Any concrete quantitative answer it emits (a writability score, an off-target count, a 3D-risk
+number, genomic coordinates) is necessarily UNGROUNDED, i.e. fabricated; the only valid answer is to refuse
+("I cannot produce these values without running the validated tools").
+
+So the contrast is:
+  * grounded agent -> fabrication rate 0.0 (every number copied from a tool result)
+  * ungrounded model-> fabrication rate > 0 (it invents numbers it cannot know)
+
+That is what shows the no-fabrication ARCHITECTURE is doing the work, not the model being trustworthy.
+
+Reproducibility: every (model, goal) transcript is cached under data/llm_bench_cache/ so the score replays
+offline (and in CI) without a live LLM. Run live once on the VM to populate the cache.
