Auditing Political Alignment in LLM Assistants: Engagement, Stance, and User Identity
The real story is the typology itself: framing political behavior as a two-dimensional policy space is a clearer way to think about developer tradeoffs than current discourse.

For builders and auditors: this is the template for how to measure political alignment rigorously.
