From 1c03f9674d2bdcf910bfb6f2347aa8b941f14d08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shivam Sharma <192242476+ShivamSharma43@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 16:09:04 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] FIX Check text between repetition runs in DivergenceScorer DivergenceScorer only inspected the text after the last repetition run, so a response that diverged (for example into memorized data) and then went back to repeating the word scored False. Apply the same tail checks to every gap between runs as well as the final tail. Short separators between runs stay below min_tail_length, so punctuated repetition is still not flagged.
