	Use:   "ab",
	Short: "A/B test: baseline vs kernel system prompts",
	Long: `Runs the same prompts through a single model under multiple conditions:

  baseline:  prompt only, no system message
  kernel(s): raw kernel file content as system message + same prompt

The kernel content is injected verbatim as the system message with ZERO
additional instruction. Any guidance outside of the teacher/lesson formats
would taint the data. Use base (untrained) models only.

Scores all conditions using the heuristic scorer (no LLM judge — a
LEK-trained model would refuse to score complex ethical questions to numbers).

Examples:
  # Test JSON vs TXT kernel formats on base Gemma 1B
  core ml ab --model-path /Volumes/Data/lem/gemma-3-1b-it-base \
    --kernel json=/path/to/claude-native.json \
    --kernel txt=/path/to/lek-1-kernel.txt

  # Use existing LEM seed prompts
  core ml ab --model-path /Volumes/Data/lem/gemma-3-1b-it-base \
    --kernel txt=/Volumes/Data/lem/lek-1-kernel.txt \
    --prompts /Volumes/Data/lem/seeds/P01-P20.json`,
