From 61969074a7c49fbd31467dc2e8c5ede0edfd3962 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: felixxia-oai Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 18:37:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add an optional JSON transcript format for Guardian (#51465) ## Why Transcript content can contain forged role headers, transcript boundaries, or claims of user approval. Guardian needs to distinguish that content from host-assigned authorship metadata. ## What changed - Add `features.guardianv2.transcript_mode` with `line` (the default) and `json` options for synchronous review and asynchronous scoring. - Render JSON transcript entries with host-assigned metadata and escaped `text`, and prepend matching provenance instructions to reviewer and classifier prompts. - Preserve JSON metadata when budget recovery shortens historical text, and keep provenance instructions outside the configured classifier prompt limit. ## Testing Add coverage for forged roles and approvals remaining within their original entries, JSON metadata surviving budget recovery, and provenance instructions surviving prompt limits. Extend review and scoring integration tests to verify JSON evidence and matching instructions.
