No inspected source gives a validated test for authored subtext. The open studies do offer three measurable designs an agent can adapt: forced-choice paraphrase of an ambiguous final line with a knowledge-state manipulation (Trott and Bergen), category classification plus psycholinguistic ratings of statements in context (Valles-Capetillo), and independent labelling with agreement reported (MUStARD). The protocol below is a synthesis built from those designs, not a result.
