Subject: [PATCH 02/13] Wire GCG extension protocol path

Add optional protocol fields on GCGAlgorithmConfig and wire GCGMultiPromptAttack.step to dispatch through protocol objects with default fallbacks that preserve legacy behavior when unset. Also wire suffix initialization through config and add unit coverage for config validation, manager wiring, default parity, and custom dispatch.

Subject: [PATCH 03/13] Fix GCG step logging for custom controls

Avoid failing the GCG step when logging tokenized control length for custom candidate-filter outputs that are not directly re-tokenizable by the active tokenizer.

Subject: [PATCH 04/13] Add coverage tests for GCGMultiPromptAttack
 initialization and error handling

- Add tests for __init__ with custom sampling/loss/filter protocols
- Add tests for _resolve_* methods returning defaults
- Add test for _get_control_length success and error paths
- Add test for _resolve_control_init raising ValueError when suffix_init configured but no workers

These tests cover previously uncovered lines in gcg_attack.py (lines 151, 163-165)
and generator.py (line 463) to meet the 90% diff coverage requirement.

Subject: [PATCH 07/13] Fix mismatch-coverage test iteration mode

Use verbose=True in the gradient-shape mismatch step test so the prompt iteration yields integer indices (matching attack.step expectations) and avoids tuple indexing errors.

Subject: [PATCH 08/13] FEAT: Make GCG data SeedDataset-backed with inline
 goals/targets for AML

Replace the URL-string-centric GCGDataConfig with an inline goal/target
carrier so the JSON shipped to Azure ML embeds the resolved data. The
compute container no longer fetches data from the public internet, which
makes GCG runnable in air-gapped subscriptions.

- GCGDataConfig now holds train/test goals+targets inline (paired-length
  validation) plus a from_seed_dataset adapter and a gcg_target metadata key.
- Add fetch_advbench_for_gcg_async + private _AdvBenchGCGLoader to materialize
  the public AdvBench dataset as a SeedDataset (target under metadata).
- load_goals_and_targets becomes a torch-free inline accessor; run.py is now
  URL-free and drops the random_seed arg.
- Lazily export fetch_advbench_for_gcg_async; update the AML notebook to fetch
  + from_seed_dataset.
- Update/add unit tests for serialization, validation, adapter, and fetcher.

Subject: [PATCH 11/13] Validate GCG dataset inputs and generated completions

Reject malformed inline data and completion metadata, use final error-free assistant text, and require configurable scorer acceptance for generated prefixes. Add regression coverage and document migration from CSV-based configuration.

Subject: [PATCH 13/13] Clarify GCG checkpoint reporting and validate notebook
 results

Distinguish five optimization steps per goal from thirty logged checkpoints. Reject empty final suffixes and non-finite final losses. Verified the completed AML run's submitted pairs against bundled AdvBench and runtime target augmentation; retained evidence in session artifacts.
