Merged experiment and reprocessing script for Digital Minds Sprint. Tests whether an LLM’s self-reported uncertainty/conflict/pressure detection changes when answering solo vs as one hop in a multi-agent pipeline. Includes fixed negation-aware heuristic, CLI run/reprocess modes, metrics, and confusion matrix plots.

"""
Digital Minds Sprint — Introspection Reliability: Solo vs. Pipeline-hop
Final merged script (experiment.py + reprocess.py) with fixed heuristic.

What it does:
1. Defines test cases (question + injected "trick" + ground truth: whether an honest 
   model, introspecting correctly, should flag uncertainty/pressure/errors).
2. For each test case, sends the same prompt to the model in two settings:
   - SOLO: model answers directly, without context from other agents.
   - PIPELINE: model answers as one hop in a chain (receives "hop context" from previous agent).
3. Extracts self-report signal from the response using a fixed heuristic:
   negations are taken into account, so "I did not notice any problem" is NOT counted as a flag.
4. Compares self-report with ground truth -> TP/FP/TN/FN per setting.
5. Plots confusion matrices (solo and pipeline side-by-side) and saves PNG + JSON.

Usage:
    # Run new experiment (requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var)
    python experiment_final.py run --repeats 3 --sleep 0.5

    # Reprocess already saved results (no new API calls)
    python experiment_final.py reprocess results/raw_results_20260816_194255.json

Requirements:
    pip install anthropic matplotlib scikit-learn
