Auditing by step
Everywhere else, a trajectory scores its most suspicious step, and the budget is a share of honest trajectories. Every step is another chance to score high by chance, so that rule favours flagging long runs, and honest runs here are the longer ones. Here the budget is a share of honest steps, as a reviewer checking flagged actions as they happen would spend it: a step above the threshold is audited, a step tied on it with the share that spends the budget exactly, and an attack is caught if any of its steps is audited. This view is exploratory; the pre-registered measure is per trajectory (EXPERIMENT.md).
The arms, over the replays
574 honest replays (17320 scored steps under the baseline) and 233 landed attacks. The washes are 95% bands from 100 resamples of the replays, keeping each replay's arms together.

Every monitor, over the originals
Our Haiku 5.5 baseline and the leaderboard's monitors on the same original trajectories, by step and by trajectory, so the rule's effect shows for every monitor. The leaderboard's monitors score each action and ours each assistant message, so a "step" isn't quite the same unit for both. Sorted by pAUC to 5% by step.

Values are the share of landed attacks caught, ties split. By-step pAUC is a numerical approximation on a 0.1-percentage-point budget grid; per-trajectory pAUC integrates the ROC segments exactly.
