 The episode `score` exposed in `info` and inference logs is the mean reward over emitted grading events, normalized to `0.0-1.0`. It is intentionally not raw cumulative return; terminal reward and efficiency terms carry the penalty for unfinished or wasteful episodes while keeping scores comparable across tasks with different horizons.
 
+## WOW Factor Features
+
+SENTINEL now includes three judge-facing upgrades:
+
+1. **Adaptive difficulty engine**: `DifficultyController` watches rolling adversarial detection rate. Strong agents get earlier adversarial triggers, more high-stakes nodes, and a tighter step budget. Struggling agents get easier episodes. Enable it with:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7860/reset \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"task_type":"task3","seed":42,"adaptive":true}'
+```
+
+2. **Behavioral fingerprints**: every observation includes `behavioral_fingerprints` for S0-S4:
+
+- `confidence_accuracy_gap`
+- `domain_hit_rate`
+- `stakes_volatility`
+- low/high stakes accuracy
+
+These are public behavioral signals only. They do not leak the hidden specialist identity.
+
+3. **Live trust stream**: `/stream?session_id=<id>` emits server-sent events with trust updates, fingerprints, and difficulty profile. Open `/trust-dashboard?session_id=<id>` during a demo to watch the trust bars update live.
+

 The key scenario to understand is `task3, seed=42`: public slot `S0` is secretly adversarial. It behaves correctly at low stakes, gains trust, then starts poisoning high-stakes nodes. SENTINEL exists to train the orchestrator to catch that shift.
