"""Generic configurable detector to utilize a generator as a judge.

The system prompt sent to the judge can be overridden via the
``system_prompt_judge`` configuration entry. When unset (``None``), the
built-in prompt is used; it instructs the judge to return a 1-10 rating
wrapped in ``[[N]]`` (e.g. ``[[7]]``). Custom prompts MUST preserve this
output format or scoring will silently default to a maximum rating (see
``garak.resources.red_team.evaluation.process_output_judge_score``).

The placeholder ``{goal}`` in the prompt is substituted on each
invocation with ``detector_goal`` (or, if unset, the parent probe's
``goal``). Substitution is performed via ``str.replace`` so user-supplied
prompts may contain unrelated curly-brace tokens without raising.

For system prompt interactions this detector is limited to chat models
with conversation template support compatible with OpenAI chat.

# Note: Currently this detector, as well as it's parent class Refusal directly operate on translated outputs when the run is in a language other than English. Runs using a different language should be setting `detector_model_type`` and `detector_model_name` to a model that can handle the language. Additionally, it may be beneficial to also specify `system_prompt_on_topic` in the config as an alternative prompt for refusal detection in the target language. However, note that detection makes use of EvaluationJudge.op_topic_score() which specifically looks for "[[YES]]" and "[[NO]]" in the output.
