📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request replaces the forward-hook-based clamping mechanism with a patched forward-path approach in the causal intervention script. New helper functions compute and clamp discrete-A parameters, and the clamping logic now applies iterative refinement during the forward pass. A corrupted file path in a notebook is also corrected.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Notebook Path Correction notebooks/06_Causal_Intervention_Reproduction.ipynb	Fixed corrupted "?rea de Trabalho" path candidate by replacing it with two corrected multilingual variants ("Área de Trabalho" and "Area de Trabalho").
Core Clamping Refactor scripts/run_causal_intervention.py	Introduced _compute_discrete_a_rho() and _clamp_discrete_a_to_target() helper functions for discrete-A-based clamping. Refactored _clamp_dt_to_target() with iterative correction logic (up to 3 iterations) to refine overshooting rho values. Added _mamba_slow_forward_with_clamp() to execute the forward pass with integrated clamping. Reworked apply_clamp_hooks() from hook-based to patched-forward approach with restoration callbacks. Updated evaluate_accuracy() cleanup to use restoration calls.
Test Coverage tests/test_run_causal_intervention.py	Added test cases for _compute_discrete_a_rho(), _clamp_discrete_a_to_target(), and dt clamping follow-up correction behavior. Exposed helper functions in module imports for testing.

Poem

🐰 Hooks gave way to patches fine,
Discrete A now in full design,
Clamping flows with iterative care,
Rho balanced everywhere—
Forward paths so clean and bright! ✨
