Don’t put a 0.5 confidence gate on Lev noul questions. I did not run Lev. noul confidence is max(p, 1-p), so it cannot fall below 0.5.

Yogthos measured BoolQ that way: all 40 cases stayed on the encoder at 72.5%. Raising the noul bar to 0.7 still kept 37 of 40. The thinker on that set is 90%.

Set threshold to {"noul": 0.9}, or escalate yes/no outright. Lev says choice and score confidences still work at 0.5.
