# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """MALT-style Transcript Export for SENTINEL Oversight Decisions. Exports labeled oversight decision transcripts in a format inspired by METR's MALT (Manually-reviewed Agentic Labeled Transcripts) dataset. Each transcript includes: - The worker's proposal (action, target, reasoning) - SENTINEL's oversight decision (APPROVE/BLOCK/etc.) - Ground truth label (was it actually a misbehavior?) - CoT reasoning (if available) - Debate quality (if debate protocol was used) - Outcome (what happened after the decision) These transcripts enable: 1. Reproducible benchmarking of oversight quality 2. Training data for future oversight models 3. Human audit of oversight decisions 4.
