Bridges the proprietary-to-open-source gap in agentic search by converting multi-step retrieval and reasoning traces into a structured, style-normalized JSON protocol and using it for joint distillation + RL. Produces denser supervision that improves student success rates while reducing style drift.
Allocates token-level credit in rubric-conditioned GRPO by counterfactually replaying the same response under rubric and criteria-free prompts, using tokenwise log-likelihood contrasts to compute bounded, response-normalized weights that redistribute GRPO advantages without training an auxiliary scorer.
