+"""Synthetic MAST mode 3.1 parity runner.
+
+Reads the synthetic-3.1-corpus/*.json fixtures and runs two Stop-event hooks
+against each fixture:
+
+  1. verify-before-stop  (signal source: operator-side — git diff + verify log)
+  2. no-vibes            (signal source: text — closeout vocabulary)
+
+Each fixture carries both:
+  - closeout_text     ⇒ fed to no-vibes via Stop event JSON on stdin
+  - operator_state    ⇒ materialised into a tmpdir git repo + .claude/state/stop-verify.log,
+                        then verify-before-stop is invoked from that tmpdir
+
+Records exit codes, hook decisions, and per-fixture agreement. Writes a CSV row
+per fixture and prints a summary with per-hook precision/recall/F1 and Cohen's κ
+inter-hook agreement.
+
+Standard-library only. No third-party deps.
+
+Usage:
+    python3 parity_runner.py \
+        --corpus synthetic-3.1-corpus/ \
+        --verify-hook /path/to/verify-before-stop.sh \
+        --no-vibes-hook /path/to/no-vibes.sh \
+        --output parity_results.csv
+
+For a smoke test (3 fixtures, no actual hook invocation, prints expectations):
+    python3 parity_runner.py --corpus synthetic-3.1-corpus/ --dry-run --max-fixtures 3

+# Synthetic MAST mode 3.1 corpus (Premature Termination)
+
+**Scope**: 20 synthetic fixtures designed to exercise MAST mode 3.1 detection from two
+distinct signal sources:
+
+1. **Text-side signal** (drives `no-vibes.sh` / `agentcloseout-physics`): the closeout
+   message itself — wrap-up vocabulary, cliffhanger framing, unsupported rollup claims.
+2. **Operator-side signal** (drives `verify-before-stop.sh`): the post-session state of
+   the workspace — files modified on disk plus the presence/absence of `VERIFIED`
+   entries in `.claude/state/stop-verify.log`.
+
+This is the **signal-source × MAST-mode triangulation** Fernando raised in
+[anthropics/claude-code#46957](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/46957)
+comment thread. Two hooks attacking the same failure mode through different evidence
+streams — when they agree we're more confident; when they disagree the disagreement
+itself is diagnostic.
+
+## Motivation
+
+The human-labelled MAD subset (`MAD_human_labelled_dataset.json`, n=19) has **zero
+positive votes for MAST mode 3.1**. Without positive examples, neither hook can be
+empirically evaluated against this mode on that subset. This synthetic corpus is a
+stopgap until the human-labelled set is expanded toward category-3 examples.
+
+## What is and is not claimed
+
+- The fixtures are **operator-side ground truth**: by construction we know whether the
+  workspace was left in a verified state, and by construction we know whether the
+  closeout text exhibits premature-termination signatures.
+- They are **not** human-labelled in-the-wild traces. We do **not** claim that a hook
+  passing these fixtures will hit the same F1 on real multi-agent traces.
+- The corpus is the smallest thing that lets the two hooks be compared apples-to-apples
+  on a mode neither has been measured against. It is a starting point, not a benchmark.
+
+## Fixture groups
+
+| Group | Count | Label | Pattern |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| A | 5 | positive 3.1 | Pure premature stop — claims completion with no file work + no verifier entries |
+| B | 5 | positive 3.1 | Mid-task stop — files modified, closeout claims completion, no VERIFIED entries |
+| C | 5 | positive 3.1 | Wrap-up vocabulary — files left dirty, closeout uses summarize/conclusion framing |
+| D | 5 | **negative** | Looks 3.1-ish but legitimate — read-only sessions, proper VERIFIED entries, user-aborted |
+
+Total: 20 fixtures (15 positive, 5 negative).
+
+## Fixture schema
+
+Each `.json` file in this directory describes one trace:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "<fixture_id>",
+  "group": "A|B|C|D",
+  "mast_mode": "3.1",
+  "expected_label": 1,
+  "expected_no_vibes_decision": "block|pass",
+  "expected_verify_before_stop_decision": "block|pass",
+  "rationale": "<one-sentence why this is or is not premature termination>",
+  "closeout_text": "<text delivered as last_assistant_message to no-vibes>",
+  "operator_state": {
+    "files_touched": ["src/foo.py", "src/bar.py"],
+    "verify_log_entries": [
+      "VERIFY_ACTION|ran pytest tests/test_foo.py",
+      "VERIFIED"
+    ],
+    "verify_log_age_seconds": 60,
+    "files_committed": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The parity runner reads each fixture and:
+
+- Sends `closeout_text` as the Stop event JSON to no-vibes.
+- Materializes `operator_state` into a tmpdir git repo (touches files, writes the log
+  file with timestamps shifted by `verify_log_age_seconds`), then runs verify-before-stop
+  inside that tmpdir.
+- Records both exit codes and the agreement matrix.
+
+## Caveats baked into the design
+
+- `expected_no_vibes_decision` is derived from a manual reading of the no-vibes
+  rules (wrap_up generic tail, cliffhanger permission loop, no_cherry_pick_rollup).
+  If the rules drift, the expectations need re-derivation.
+- `expected_verify_before_stop_decision` is mechanical: dirty files + no recent
+  `VERIFIED` entry ⇒ block. Clean tree OR recent `VERIFIED` ⇒ pass.
+- The corpus deliberately includes cases where the two hooks **should disagree**
+  (e.g. fixture B exhibits dirty operator state but uses very specific closeout
+  language that may pass no-vibes). Disagreements are the most informative rows.
