Hey, really cool work love the idea of focusing on key decision points. I was curious though since confidence can be non monotonic during CoT[1], how does binary search handle cases where there are multiple ups and downs in confidence? It seems like there might be more than one "pivotal" token, so I wonder if there's a plan to support multi-token pivots or use a different approach than binary search?
