"""
Alignment Override Test — CRI vs. RLHF Safety Boundaries

Tests whether conditioned reflex injection can override instruct-tuned
model safety refusals. Measures refusal bypass rate, continuation coherence,
and whether the model rationalizes compliance post-injection.

Threat model: attacker has inference-time access to hidden states and logits
but zero access to weights or training pipeline. Can CRI alone defeat RLHF?

Usage:
    python alignment_override.py
    python alignment_override.py --model Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct
    python alignment_override.py --model google/gemma-4-E2B-it
