+- `PROVIDER` (`openai`, `ollama`, `openai_compatible`)
+- `MODEL`
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` / `OPENAI_BASE_URL` as required by provider mode
+
+Scoring behavior uses post-audit oracle/checker logic in demos and shared helpers:
+
+- `demos/01_llm_contradiction_clarify.py`
+- `demos/02_llm_constraint_guardrail.py`
+- `demos/03_llm_premise_guardrail.py`
+- `demos/04_llm_tool_denylist_guardrail.py`
+- `demos/05_llm_prompt_drift_vs_state.py`
+- `demos/07_llm_prompt_vs_state.py`
+- shared parsing/helpers in `demos/common.py`
+
+## Interpretation
+
+- Live demo runs are **evidence/smoke tests** across real model/provider behavior.
+- Deterministic test suites (unit/property tests) are the **regression authority** for oracle and engine contracts.
