"""Apply abliteration (orthogonal refusal-direction ablation) to a checkpoint.

Reference: Arditi et al., *Refusal in Language Models Is Mediated by a
Single Direction* (https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.11717). Practical writeup:
Maxime Labonne, "Uncensor any LLM with abliteration"
(https://huggingface.co/blog/mlabonne/abliteration).

This is a *mechanism-only* script: it computes one refusal direction and
projects it out of every block's residual-stream writers. It does NOT
run the eval gates (KL probe, refusal-rate probe) that
``scripts/training/abliterate.py`` runs. The output is suitable for
local experimentation; ``push_model_to_hf.py --variant abliterated``
will refuse to publish it because the required
``abliteration_metadata.json`` (with eval-gate scores) is absent. Run
the eval-gated ``abliterate.py`` path before publishing.

Algorithm (data-driven, single rank-1 projection):

1. Forward harmful and harmless prompts through the model, collecting
   the residual-stream activation at the END token of each prompt at a
   chosen mid-stack layer.
2. Compute the refusal direction as the unit vector
       r = mean(harmful_acts) - mean(harmless_acts), normalized
   per Arditi et al. §3.
3. Project ``r`` out of the rows of every transformer block's
   ``self_attn.o_proj`` and ``mlp.down_proj`` weights: W <- W - (W r) r^T.
   Both write into the residual stream, so removing the refusal
   direction at write time guarantees the model can never re-introduce
   it from any subsequent hidden state.

The on-disk model is modified: this is a destructive transform. Save to
a NEW directory; do not overwrite the source.
