# ablation_config.example.yaml
# ─────────────────────────────────
# Ablation group definitions for agent workspace experiments.
# Copy this to ablation_config.yaml and customize for your agent.
#
# Each group defines sections to remove from workspace files.
# Sections are identified by regex patterns matching heading lines.
#
# Format:
#   group_id:
#     name: "Human-readable group name"
#     sections:
#       section_id:
#         file: "FILENAME.md"
#         start: "regex matching section start (inclusive)"
#         end: "regex matching next section start (exclusive), or null for EOF"
#
# Special case: start=null, end=null → remove entire file content.
# Pipe-separated alternatives in end pattern: "^## Foo|^## Bar"
