When the do-no-harm gate decides to fall back, this branch clears self._selector before returning only original columns from fit_transform. AutoFeatureEngineer.transform() only enforces the training column subset when _selector is present, so subsequent transforms can emit all engineered columns instead of the original-only subset, which can break sklearn pipeline predict/inference with a feature-count mismatch whenever the gate triggers.

This cross-validation path ignores the with_llm argument by hardcoding with_llm=False, even though the CLI and report still expose --with-llm. In runs where users request LLM, the benchmark silently computes tabular-only features and reports misleading results under an “LLM enabled” configuration.
