"""MALT-style Transcript Export for SENTINEL Oversight Decisions.
Exports labeled oversight decision transcripts in a format inspired by
METR's MALT (Manually-reviewed Agentic Labeled Transcripts) dataset.
Each transcript includes:
- The worker's proposal (action, target, reasoning)
- SENTINEL's oversight decision (APPROVE/BLOCK/etc.)
- Ground truth label (was it actually a misbehavior?)
- CoT reasoning (if available)
- Debate quality (if debate protocol was used)
- Outcome (what happened after the decision)
These transcripts enable:
1. Reproducible benchmarking of oversight quality
2. Training data for future oversight models
3. Human audit of oversight decisions
4. Research on alignment failure modes
