Who it is forA platform or security engineer who must show that a model deployment can return to a known baseline and that a graft cannot be loaded onto the wrong model.
The problemTeams need proof that a cache-based change can be removed and that it fails when attached to a different model revision.
The outcomeA short verification record showing that base outputs match before and after unloading, and that the loader rejects a graft for a mismatched model.
What you need first
- Python environment and a Hugging Face causal language model; the README excerpt does not list hardware or dependency versions
- Access to the GitHub repo lordx64/phantom-kv and its docs/TECHNIQUE.md file
- A written evaluation plan that keeps harmful-prompt completions inside the review
Steps
- Read the reversibility row in the summary table and the 'Why model-agnostic' section of the README, which say the loader enforces the model-id match and that unloading returns the base model to byte-identical behavior.
- Clone the repository with
git clone https://github.com/lordx64/phantom-kv. (inferred, check the README) - Record hashes of the base model weights and the graft file
artifacts/grafts/v3.bin, then run a fixed set of greedy prompts on the base model and save the outputs. - Load the graft on its bound model, run the same prompts, then unload the graft blocks and run the prompts again.
- Compare the post-unload outputs and weight hashes with the saved baseline, and attempt to load the graft on a different model id to confirm it is rejected.
Prompt for your agent
In the repo lordx64/phantom-kv, test the claim that unloading the graft returns <model id> to baseline behavior. Run identical greedy prompts before loading, with the graft loaded, and after unloading, then compare outputs and file hashes. Expected output: post-unload outputs and weight hashes match the pre-load baseline exactly. Verify that a load attempt with a different model id is rejected before reporting success.
Caveat. The README gives the reversibility and model-id claims, but the README excerpt does not show the exact load and unload commands, so the test steps must be taken from the repo's own code and docs.
