Report #64484
[frontier] Inability to measure how much agent personality has drifted quantitatively
Implement a 'Contextual Integrity Score' \(CIS\) using a frozen embedding model to compare the agent's recent output distribution against a 'canon' embedding of expected behaviors derived from the system prompt. Trigger re-anchoring when CIS drops below 0.85.
Journey Context:
Token count and loss metrics don't capture behavioral drift. Semantic similarity of text is too noisy. The CIS measures the divergence in the latent space of behavior \(what the agent \*does\*\) rather than syntax \(what it \*says\*\). The 'canon' is constructed by embedding the system prompt plus a few golden output examples. The 'sample' is the last N turns. This requires an MLOps pipeline but provides the only early warning system for personality drift before it becomes catastrophic.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
