## Thinking Path > - Paperclip lets users choose an agent harness and account. > - The server resolves the runner for new agents. > - Claude still needs the same ordinary native-default journey as Codex. > - Existing agents must retain their runner, model and account. > - This PR defaults new Apple Silicon Claude agents to Paperclip Runner with Opus 5.5. > - Users can connect and work without a runner override. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #15683. This PR depends on #15994 and precedes #15997. Related scope: #15422, #13978 and #15224. ## What Changed - Resolve new Apple Silicon Claude agents to `paperclip_runner`, `provider: acpx`, `acpxAgent: claude`. Keep explicit Legacy, models, provider routing and saved execution. - Use `claude-opus-5-5` for ordinary Claude defaults and retain explicit overrides. - Reuse existing API-key/subscription connections, credential storage and checks. Generalize the shared Advanced runner control with Claude branding. - Carry configured effort into the shared v9 contract. Preserve compatible permissions, instructions, skills, timeouts and session behavior. Require Legacy for unsupported settings. - Qualify a new immutable managed Claude target at explicit Connect through the existing permission-gated probe. Use fresh scoped discovery for test and hire. Discard stale results and require an explicit Connect after settings change. - Retain merged Codex onboarding recovery, auth preparation, import/effort corrections and Grok Bot gates. - Check the Claude first-task wizard's saved default directly. Update configuration/runtime documentation and exact Opus 5.5 accounting. - Align hire fixtures with the merged host-environment restriction. Native agent-authenticated hires cannot inject host env settings; both creation endpoints verify that no extra agent is saved. ## Verification - Updated onto master `9179d8dcc3e908c217fde4f63c9d08ccf8132eeb` through #15994. Native input v9 carries effort while preserving v7 home modes and v8 Muse. Codex defaults remain unchanged. - Focused local verification passed 285 server tests, 323 UI tests, 124 setup/registry tests, and two v9 permission-pin transport cases. Direct server/UI TypeScript checks passed. An initial 30-second hook timeout was resolved by serial verification with a longer hook budget: all 122 credential/permission cases and 232 snapshot/environment cases pass. Direct server TypeScript checking also passes. - Ordinary web creation with the experiment disabled saved native Claude, Opus 5.5 and High effort without runner/model overrides. The actual product task and follow-up both succeeded on integrated source `b2c9fe43f9cd3bc5dd9d22552da0148845ba71a4` with the cloud-built daemon from `04e0202ca81387b17cbe7fd094a8338648356fe9`. The final master reconciliation also changes shared runtime source. Historical proof retains its source identity; a final-source cloud qualification is running before refreshing the preview daemon. - Both actual browser downloads were checked: v1 has three sections/six checkboxes (451 bytes); v2 preserves the original body and adds two Rollback checks (612 bytes). The original attachment stayed byte-identical. The follow-up records session resume and the same provider session. Total estimated API usage: $0.518432800, with no pending/unpriced usage in the successful fixture. - Fixed the live-discovered setup incompatibility: native API-key validation no longer depends on the global Legacy Claude CLI. The existing provider endpoint verifies the key without a paid prompt; subscription/custom routing probes remain intact. - Fixed security review's native-hire credential redirection: agent-supplied URLs, proxy/launch settings and other host environment controls are rejected before inheritance. Native credential references remain supported and partial edits use the saved harness. Added create/hire/update regression coverage. - Current-head cloud CI is green. All three stack PRs have fresh Greptile 5/5 reviews and zero unresolved review threads. Required typecheck, test and build gates ran in cloud CI; Docker work stayed remote. Earlier failed checks remain in their original runs. - Docker and native release builds ran in cloud infrastructure. An inadvertent local Rust prerequisite was stopped; no local Docker build was run. - The final master merge preserves task-loading, permission, skill-retention and OpenRouter changes. Pi uses a fresh combined profile 27, preserving both historical profile-24 declarations; Copilot remains profile 22. Focused protocol checks passed 155 cases (one skipped), the updated Pi attestation check passed 18 (one skipped), and 91 evaluation/catalog checks passed. - Latest-application manual continuation passed in 37.942 seconds on `695e5c005a85bddc8711d3fcddcaf6b7e1fb64d0`, with High effort, native Opus 5.5, Anthropic API attribution, the same resumed Claude session, an independently checked 635-byte file and persisted Done status. It uses the earlier verified Mac daemon; the preceding-source package qualification passed at `dca62c7aeb4b45f0dd91a8e18d386a16a2658ef8`. That package run predates the small TypeScript startup fix and is not relabeled as qualification for it. - Upgrade limitation: changed compiled sidecar identity rejected old durable launch state and recovery hit session-open bounds before eventually resuming. That attempt was operator-cancelled and retained; the successful manual continuation does not qualify seamless upgrades. - Local latency profile, Opus 5.5/High unchanged: three alternating real-ACP loopback samples per variant reduce median provider-ready time from 5.081s to 4.034s. The matched real API task startup improves from 5.533s to 4.348s, but total reply time changes from 17.933s to 20.221s because agent work varies. This establishes a startup saving of about one second, not a consistent total-reply speedup. A real candidate follow-up passed in 20.146s and resumed the same saved session. The loopback fixture makes no external model requests; failed initial probes remain retained. - The startup change passes 107 focused runtime/effort/lease tests, 53 profile checks (one skipped), TypeScript checking and the TypeScript-only runtime build. Native hire fixture checks pass 70 tests; their first local run retained a socket-hangup failure and stale OpenCode expectation, both accounted for before the passing rerun. Broader required checks run in cloud CI. ## Risks - Missing packages, authentication rejection, unsupported settings and unavailable models must fail explicitly. Existing agents retain saved execution; explicit runner changes use existing revision/session invalidation. - Subscription follow-up remains unverified; remaining live acceptance uses API keys per human steering. Historical accounting holds and the separate $50 ceiling remain intact. - The subscription acceptance limit remains explicit for review. No Claude database migration is introduced. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code execution and browser testing. The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this session. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [ ] Focused local tests and final cloud verification pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>

# Paperclip evaluation guide
|
|
|
|
The [Slack connector probe catalog](../server/src/services/connectors/slack/evals/README.md)
|
|
organizes eleven manual model acceptance probes and a selector for existing
|
|
deterministic regressions (`pnpm test:slack-connector`). It is not a registered
|
|
model campaign; transport fixtures do not prove that an agent chooses a tool
|
|
or that a real Slack interaction completes.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only [live provider connection suite](../tests/runner-e2e/PROVIDER-CONNECTIONS.md)
|
|
is a Product E2E workflow for fresh subscription/API-key/gateway connections,
|
|
with attended login and independent artifact checks against local or staging targets.
|
|
|
|
The bounded [personal Muse receiver probe](muse-personal-agent.md#bounded-24-hour-probe)
|
|
uses ordinary task APIs and retained native receipts to measure unattended
|
|
receiver behavior. It is a separate manual qualification probe, not a registered
|
|
Product E2E campaign. Synthetic receiver tests cannot qualify personal Muse;
|
|
real setup, clarification and fresh-conversation collaboration remain separate
|
|
release gates.
|
|
|
|
Paperclip has two live eval families with different questions, owners, and
|
|
evidence. Choose the family before selecting a model, profile, or case.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only [native instruction consolidation comparison](plans/2026-10-03-native-completion-consolidation.md)
|
|
uses six Product E2E cells per source variant. It measures the completion
|
|
constraint reduction separately from the earlier native tool-description
|
|
trial. Provider-free start/resume payload capture is a byte measurement;
|
|
behavioral qualification requires the original paired live outcomes and
|
|
retained content. Neither source admission nor a scripted pass proves model
|
|
behavior.
|
|
|
|
- **Runner Evals:** real Runner/provider behavior against a seeded mock control
|
|
plane. Definitions live in `paperclip-evals/evals/paperclip-runner`; see the
|
|
[direct live protocol evals](../packages/paperclip-runner/docs/runner-protocol-live-evals.md).
|
|
- **Product E2E Evals:** real browser, Paperclip server, database, Runner,
|
|
provider, and (where selected) Daytona, using an isolated instance and
|
|
grading oracle. See [`tests/runner-e2e`](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md) and
|
|
[Everyday Workflows](../tests/runner-e2e/EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md).
|
|
|
|
Runner Evals answer whether a real runner/provider can perform a bounded
|
|
protocol operation against the expected control-plane contract. Product E2E
|
|
Evals answer whether a person can complete a product workflow through the real
|
|
Paperclip surfaces and whether the resulting artifact and state are usable.
|
|
The names describe the system under test; “headless” is an execution option,
|
|
not an eval category.
|
|
|
|
The explicit Product E2E `completion-updates` suite compares onboarding and
|
|
idle, busy, multiple-task, and restart Agent Chat handoffs on native Claude/Codex. It separates mechanical
|
|
completion delivery/result access from semantic review of the retained answer;
|
|
see the [probe contract](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#completion-update-probes-explicit-only).
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only [task-titles suite](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#automatic-task-titles)
|
|
checks that production guidance causes a real native agent to name prompt-only
|
|
standard/Ask tasks early, while preserving user-supplied titles. Its oracle
|
|
correlates browser creation, native tool receipts, durable titles, audit ownership,
|
|
and the reloaded task UI; fixture prompts contain no naming instructions.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only [native connection guidance suite](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#native-connection-guidance-explicit-only)
|
|
adds neutral decline prompts, same-task run-attributed explanations, and measured
|
|
no-use controls across three native local profiles. Its fifteen configured cells
|
|
are preparation for future matched instruction comparisons, not a live result.
|
|
Historical Everyday cases and production prompts are preserved.
|
|
|
|
## Selecting a family
|
|
|
|
Pi's explicit-only `pi-controls` Product suite tests Stop while native permission
|
|
is unanswered and browser-originated same-turn steering, locally and on Daytona.
|
|
Its [fixture contract](../tests/runner-e2e/FIXTURES.md#pi-active-controls) separates
|
|
control acknowledgment, actual message consumption and owned process retirement.
|
|
The current Pi matrix has 26 explicit cells (13 local and 13 Daytona), including
|
|
these four controls, pending-native-question controller restart, and a Daytona-only
|
|
exact-Pi-child provider-death journey. Provider death must expire the original
|
|
unanswered card and reject stale replies without a replacement run; any durable
|
|
fallback is distinct from restoration. File editing
|
|
also requires native edit/validation events and a registered artifact download.
|
|
All remain unqualified until measured on the exact candidate runtime and harness.
|
|
|
|
Use **Runner Evals** for a runner protocol, adapter, transport, native session,
|
|
tool grant, or one-turn provider qualification question. The workflow checks
|
|
out an exact `paperclip-evals` revision, builds the Runner and viewer, runs a
|
|
live roster, and renders the canonical Evalbook report. The control plane is a
|
|
seeded test authority, so a passing result does not prove browser UX, production
|
|
server behavior, database persistence, Daytona behavior, or a real third-party
|
|
mutation.
|
|
|
|
Use **Product E2E Evals** for browser interaction, issue/task lifecycle,
|
|
approval and clarification UI, project/repository selection, persistence over a
|
|
controller restart, artifact delivery, billing/evidence behavior, or runner
|
|
continuity in local or Daytona environments. The harness creates a fresh
|
|
Paperclip instance per cell and uses public APIs and the production browser
|
|
surface. The suite's [Everyday Workflows](../tests/runner-e2e/EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md)
|
|
are Product E2E even when their results are imported into Evalbook.
|
|
|
|
Do not combine a partial Runner campaign and a partial Product E2E campaign into
|
|
one score. A campaign is comparable when its definition/grader, model/profile,
|
|
environment, and contract match. The evaluated Paperclip revision may
|
|
intentionally differ for a before/after fix comparison; record it as a
|
|
comparison axis.
|
|
|
|
## Ownership and codepaths
|
|
|
|
Runner Evals are owned by the Runner/evals maintainers. Definitions, rosters,
|
|
case prompts, and the report program live in the sibling private repository
|
|
`paperclipai/paperclip-evals`; Runner integration, viewer, aggregation, and
|
|
publication code live under `packages/paperclip-runner` and the
|
|
`runner-protocol-live-evals.yml` workflow. The public-facing report uses the
|
|
same Evalbook renderer and Runner Lab viewer as the trusted report after
|
|
sanitization.
|
|
|
|
Product E2E Evals are owned by the runner E2E maintainers. The catalog and
|
|
harness are under `tests/runner-e2e`; the package scripts are `test:e2e:runner`,
|
|
`test:e2e:runner:unit`, `test:e2e:runner:typecheck`, and
|
|
`test:e2e:runner:report`. `README.md`, `FIXTURES.md`, `SECURITY.md`, and
|
|
`EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md` are the detailed sources of truth. The harness starts
|
|
the server and embedded database, creates the company/agent/task through the
|
|
real APIs, drives Chromium, and invokes the selected local or Daytona runner.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only `agent-chat-hardening` Product E2E suite covers native chat
|
|
recovery, hiring, status evidence, and review handoff on local and selected warm
|
|
Daytona paths. Its [fixture contract](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md) distinguishes
|
|
startup cancellation from active response cancellation and HTTP send replay
|
|
from ambiguous provider action recovery. Select it explicitly; `--all` excludes it.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only [production hiring templates suite](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#production-hiring-templates)
|
|
adds two local native Codex/Claude cells. It exercises API-created production
|
|
CEO defaults, an explicitly requested hiring skill/reference read, a permanent
|
|
coder hire, independently computed saved JSON fixtures and worker reuse.
|
|
Each cell requires five work turns and admits at most two strictly attributed
|
|
server task-completion turns. Every actual run remains counted; unknown or
|
|
extra-work turns fail. Source/read coverage and workflow outcome are
|
|
separate: missing read provenance leaves the candidate/baseline pair
|
|
uncomparable even if work succeeds. Baseline bundles and coder examples derive
|
|
from their own source revision, without requiring candidate wording or length.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only `context-integrity` Product E2E suite covers ordered public
|
|
comment continuation and explicit invocation of an assigned pinned skill across
|
|
the seven selected legacy/native local profiles. Select it by suite or exact
|
|
execution ID because `--all` excludes explicit-only suites. Each cell applies a
|
|
1,000-cent company and agent budget hard stop before task creation and records
|
|
both limits in its evidence.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only [stock-harness suite](../tests/runner-e2e/STOCK-HARNESS.md)
|
|
reuses skill, ordered-continuation, and chat-restart journeys across eight local
|
|
legacy/native profiles with production-default hires. It closes the custom QA
|
|
manual coverage gap. Its required credential-free prerequisite maps vendor
|
|
instruction layering, the tiny hire bundle, and shared startup/resume reductions
|
|
to executable checks. The 24 live cells are configured; no live qualification is
|
|
claimed from their setup or unit calibration.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only `agent-chat-stories` suite covers the experimental settings
|
|
lifecycle for a configured native agent and follow-ups during active work. Its
|
|
fixture-driven file wait and persisted-plan oracle are documented in the
|
|
[Product E2E guide](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md). It does not qualify the native
|
|
onboarding wizard or change the native API-tool rollout defaults.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only `grok-qualification` and `grok-subscription-qualification`
|
|
Product suites exercise Grok Build with API and company subscription
|
|
authentication respectively. Keep their results separate; the subscription
|
|
fixture seeds an explicitly supplied login and does not qualify interactive
|
|
login. See the [Grok fixture contract](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#grok-build-qualification).
|
|
|
|
The explicit [Direct blocker guidance suite](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#direct-blocker-guidance)
|
|
checks the legacy coordination skill against human authority, missing hiring
|
|
permission, and requester scope decisions through saved browser interactions.
|
|
|
|
## Validation ladder
|
|
|
|
The native Codex Daytona `recover-controller` cell in Everyday Workflows
|
|
requires active process and lease continuity, native receipt continuity and
|
|
workspace finalization. See the [restart evidence contract](../tests/runner-e2e/EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md).
|
|
Catalog discovery and deterministic calibration do not establish live recovery.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only [public MCP suite](../tests/runner-e2e/PUBLIC-MCP.md) evaluates
|
|
paid assistant delegation, later retrieval, feedback, review, uncertain retries
|
|
and permission boundaries. It uses the Product E2E fixtures, launcher, evidence
|
|
packaging and dashboard, with separate external-assistant and team-worker billing.
|
|
The [2026-10-01 results](plans/2026-10-01-public-mcp-paid-eval-results.md) retain
|
|
two complete model matrices, provenance, costs and the earlier failure history.
|
|
|
|
Start with credential-free checks and a catalog listing. For Product E2E:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck
|
|
pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit
|
|
pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --list
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For one explicitly selected local cell, configure only the credentials named
|
|
by that cell in `.env.runner-e2e.local`, then run a narrow ID:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --id core-compatibility.runner-codex.local.message-marker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use the selectors documented in the [runner E2E README](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md)
|
|
for a suite, profile, case, group, or environment. Daytona needs the immutable
|
|
image digest and `DAYTONA_API_KEY`; follow the README and fixture security guide.
|
|
`--all` excludes manual suites such as `everyday-workflows`. Select that suite
|
|
explicitly; use a narrow selector while developing a fixture.
|
|
|
|
For Runner Evals, the narrowest useful local validation is the report program's
|
|
help/validation path and the deterministic Runner checks documented in
|
|
[`runner-workflow-evals.md`](../packages/paperclip-runner/docs/runner-workflow-evals.md).
|
|
Hosted direct live runs must use the default-branch workflow, an exact 40
|
|
character `evals_sha`, an explicitly selected roster (or the maintained
|
|
enabled `all` campaign), and the protected paid environment. The complete
|
|
hosted command is intentionally kept in the workflow and
|
|
[direct live protocol guide](../packages/paperclip-runner/docs/runner-protocol-live-evals.md).
|
|
Live provider runs can spend money; use the existing workflow authorization and
|
|
the user's stated scope when selecting them.
|
|
|
|
## Failure taxonomy
|
|
|
|
Record the primary failure class and preserve the evidence that supports it.
|
|
|
|
- **Product failure:** evidence shows Paperclip or Runner behavior violates the
|
|
authored case or a hard invariant, such as wrong task state, missing approval
|
|
gate, lost persistence, bad artifact, or incorrect protocol operation.
|
|
- **Model/provider behavior failure:** the provider turn completed with usable
|
|
evidence but the model gave the wrong answer, ignored an interaction, failed
|
|
to complete the authored operation, or violated a semantic assertion. It is
|
|
scored as behavior, not silently retried as infrastructure.
|
|
- **Grading/evidence failure:** the case or matcher cannot establish its claim,
|
|
a required recording/screenshot/result is malformed, or the report contract
|
|
is invalid. Fix the harness or grader before interpreting the score.
|
|
- **Infrastructure failure:** the evidence points to provider/profile
|
|
unavailability, transport admission failure, service startup failure, a
|
|
missing credential/image, or inability to produce usable evidence. Startup,
|
|
transport, and timeout symptoms can instead be product defects when evidence
|
|
implicates Paperclip or Runner; classify from the observed failure and
|
|
supported cause, rather than the symptom name alone. Preserve the artifact.
|
|
|
|
Missing usage or price data means unknown, not free. Keep provider-reported
|
|
costs separate from estimates, and include retry costs when available.
|
|
Latency, cleanup, billing coverage, and unpriced usage are dimensions of the
|
|
result and should remain visible alongside the primary class. A timeout after
|
|
successful product state reads can be a product behavior failure; a failed
|
|
server-health read may be infrastructure, but inspect its cause. Use the
|
|
family-specific classifier and read the attempt evidence before changing an
|
|
analytical label.
|
|
|
|
## Evidence, provenance, and history
|
|
|
|
Retained result snapshots and dated measurement reports belong in
|
|
`paperclip-evals`; application tests, Product E2E fixtures/graders, and executable
|
|
scenario inventories remain in this repository. Keep a compact results index
|
|
with immutable archive links and public report links, as in the
|
|
[lifecycle baseline](../tests/lifecycle-baseline/README.md#recorded-results-moved-to-paperclip-evals).
|
|
The private archive is not a dependency of app test execution. Keep large logs,
|
|
traces, and videos in the existing campaign artifact storage.
|
|
|
|
An Evalbook report is a presentation of immutable attempt records, not the
|
|
source of truth. Keep the campaign ID, Paperclip commit, `paperclip-evals`
|
|
commit, catalog/roster or definition fingerprint, model/profile, environment,
|
|
grader version, selected cells, retries, and provider/runtime usage with the
|
|
report. Public projections follow each family's reviewed allowlist and may
|
|
include sanitized fixture conversation, named tool outcomes, screenshots, and
|
|
structured evidence intended for public history. Credentials, secrets, private
|
|
data, raw unredacted records, and hidden reasoning stay out of public
|
|
projections.
|
|
|
|
Distinguish a complete campaign from a partial campaign. A narrow selector,
|
|
manual diagnostic, missing cell, or infrastructure retry can be useful evidence
|
|
without being a qualification run. History should retain both, with explicit
|
|
coverage and completeness, while trend and latest-green views compare only
|
|
compatible complete campaigns. Refreshing an existing report from retained
|
|
evidence has zero provider calls and is a new presentation of the old
|
|
measurement, not a new model run.
|
|
|
|
Existing public histories are available at
|
|
[Runner protocol history](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-protocol-evals/index.html)
|
|
and [Runner Product E2E history](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/).
|
|
The consolidated eval hub is at
|
|
[pages.paperclip.ing/evals](https://pages.paperclip.ing/evals/).
|
|
|
|
For a repeatable workflow, use the matching skill: [paperclip-evals](../.agents/skills/paperclip-evals/SKILL.md),
|
|
[add-runner-eval](../.agents/skills/add-runner-eval/SKILL.md), or
|
|
[add-product-e2e-eval](../.agents/skills/add-product-e2e-eval/SKILL.md).
|
|
|
|
## Diagnose failures before buying another campaign
|
|
|
|
Use this loop to turn eval failures into product improvements. The unit of work
|
|
is a broken user outcome or invariant, not an individual red cell.
|
|
|
|
1. **Freeze the evidence.** Record the inspected application revision and each
|
|
campaign's evaluated revision, definition/grader fingerprint, model/profile,
|
|
environment, exact selected IDs, attempts, and usage coverage. Read the
|
|
history feed and retained attempt records before launching models. A report
|
|
refresh, skipped workflow, passing unit suite, or old-definition green cell
|
|
is not a new live measurement. Inventory explicit-only suites separately
|
|
from `--all`.
|
|
2. **Reconstruct the failed boundary.** Read durable task state, interactions,
|
|
event chronology, source/worker identity, delivered output, and the failing
|
|
assertion. State whether the test reached the boundary it claims to test.
|
|
Separate observed failure, machine class, analytical cause, and confidence.
|
|
A cancelled queued wake does not by itself prove lost work; a failed decline
|
|
assertion does not prove unauthorized execution. A saved artifact does not
|
|
prove the user received a correct completion update.
|
|
3. **Group by cause and product contract.** Join cells only when their evidence
|
|
supports the same mechanism. Check for already-merged fixes and definition
|
|
corrections before proposing new work. Keep product defects, provider/model
|
|
behavior, grading defects, infrastructure, and unexercised boundaries
|
|
distinct. Preserve the original grades when attribution changes.
|
|
4. **Design the smallest general correction.** Name the desired user behavior,
|
|
the authoritative state/transaction or provider boundary that owns it, the
|
|
affected callers, and the existing guarantees that must survive. Check it
|
|
against `PRODUCT.md` and `SPEC-implementation.md`. A change to an intentional
|
|
product rule is a contract change, not an excuse to delete its guard. Avoid
|
|
case-name branches, phrase-specific prompts, unconditional retries, or
|
|
weakening approval, ownership, cancellation, and budget gates to get green.
|
|
5. **Prove the mechanism cheaply.** Calibrate a grader against correct and
|
|
plausible wrong retained evidence. Reproduce a product race with scripted
|
|
providers or service tests. Pair every proposed fix with a regression that
|
|
exercises the opposite boundary (for example, eligible delivery versus
|
|
revoked access, benign obsolete wake versus interrupted active work).
|
|
Presentation-only changes use the existing report refresh path and make no
|
|
provider calls; do not claim replay can prove changed runtime behavior.
|
|
6. **Select a bounded live confirmation.** Write the exact failed representative
|
|
IDs and only the passing controls affected by the change. Pin the source,
|
|
definitions, models, and remote image. Record an attempt cap, provider and
|
|
compute budget, wall-clock deadline, and concurrency before dispatch under
|
|
the existing live-run authorization. Missing pricing means unknown, not free.
|
|
Do not rerun unaffected green cells during diagnosis or retry usable behavior
|
|
failures until they happen to pass. Preserve every attempt. Expand to a
|
|
compatible qualification campaign only after the causal fix passes.
|
|
7. **Close with evidence and remaining scope.** Report original versus new
|
|
measurements, exact selected coverage, regression results, cost coverage,
|
|
and unresolved boundaries. A partial verification may close one defect; it
|
|
cannot turn the full catalog green or establish reliability from one attempt.
|
|
|
|
Keep one triage record per cause with: affected cell IDs; evidence links;
|
|
observed failure; supported cause and confidence; existing fix/revision; proposed
|
|
product contract; invariant regressions; next exact live selection; budget and
|
|
stop condition; owner; and disposition. Useful dispositions include confirmed
|
|
product defect, model behavior, grader correction, infrastructure repair,
|
|
fixed-but-not-remeasured, historical pass, and unqualified coverage.
|
|
|
|
Parallelize independent artifact inventory, deterministic checks, and isolated
|
|
cells. Keep a cell's dependent turns ordered. When delegating, use inexpensive
|
|
agents for bounded extraction, catalog reconciliation, and test execution; keep
|
|
causal attribution, product design, and final review with the lead. Begin local
|
|
browser campaigns at the documented conservative concurrency and increase only
|
|
with measured host headroom. Hosted fanout must respect the workflow's provider
|
|
and fleet caps; more simultaneous timeouts do not improve wall-clock efficiency.
|
|
|
|
Current tools support exact-ID selection and retained-evidence report refresh,
|
|
but not an automatic cause-aware "rerun unresolved failures" planner. Build an
|
|
explicit selection manifest rather than treating `--all` as that planner. Review
|
|
the launcher's automatic retry policy when budgeting; Product E2E may create one
|
|
fresh attempt for a retryable failure.
|
|
|
|
## Install the authoring skills
|
|
|
|
The reviewable sources live in this repository's `.agents/skills`. For a
|
|
multi-repository workspace, install the three skills at
|
|
`~/paperclipai/.agents/skills` (not `~/paperclipai/skills`). From the Paperclip
|
|
checkout, run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
for skill in paperclip-evals add-runner-eval add-product-e2e-eval; do
|
|
install -d "$HOME/paperclipai/.agents/skills/$skill"
|
|
install -m 644 ".agents/skills/$skill/SKILL.md" \
|
|
"$HOME/paperclipai/.agents/skills/$skill/SKILL.md"
|
|
done
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This replaces only the three named skill entrypoints. Run it again after
|
|
updating their tracked sources. Each skill locates the repository independently
|
|
of its installation directory.
|
|
|
|
## Maintain the public hub
|
|
|
|
The hub is a static directory with two links to the existing history systems.
|
|
It displays a dated snapshot, not a live scoreboard. It does not run models,
|
|
create another result archive, or change the existing campaign URLs.
|
|
|
|
Build from the public history feeds and check its summary logic:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts/evals-hub -p 'test_*.py'
|
|
python3 scripts/evals-hub/build.py --output .paperclip/evals-hub
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The hub checks need Python 3 and do not call model providers.
|
|
|
|
For offline checks, pass `--history-dir <directory>` containing
|
|
`runner-protocol-evals-history.json` and `runner-e2e-history.json`.
|
|
For a pre-merge preview, pass `--docs-ref <branch-or-sha>` to link the guide
|
|
at that revision. The default guide link uses `master`.
|
|
|
|
Publish with the [Paperclip page helper](../.agents/skills/paperclip-page/SKILL.md)
|
|
and the configured page-uploader credentials. Use Bash 4 or newer; macOS's
|
|
system Bash 3 cannot run this helper. On macOS with Homebrew Bash installed,
|
|
put `$(brew --prefix bash)/bin` first in `PATH` before these commands:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export PAPERCLIP_PAGE_BUCKET=pages.paperclip.ing
|
|
export PAPERCLIP_PAGE_BASE_URL=https://pages.paperclip.ing
|
|
export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
|
|
bash .agents/skills/paperclip-page/scripts/publish.sh .paperclip/evals-hub --slug evals --dry-run
|
|
bash .agents/skills/paperclip-page/scripts/publish.sh .paperclip/evals-hub --slug evals
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For later refreshes, rebuild in the same output directory and publish with
|
|
`--update`. Keep its ignored `.paperclip-page/state.json` ownership record;
|
|
without that record, the helper will refuse to overwrite an existing prefix.
|
|
Verify the public page and its links after publication. This manual refresh
|
|
does not add a scheduled workflow. Preserve the measurement date when choosing
|
|
a newer rendering of the same campaign.
|
|
|
|
Remaining native chat boundaries are in the explicit-only
|
|
`agent-chat-qualification` suite: active task reassignment, user Retry after
|
|
verified worker process loss, and multi-turn answers grounded in actual task
|
|
records. See the [workflow and qualification limits](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#remaining-native-agent-chat-qualification).
|
|
The 26 native `first-task` cells inspect the production wizard's saved native
|
|
default on qualified targets, without an API runner switch. The 26 Legacy cells
|
|
select Legacy explicitly in Advanced. Live results and semantic answer reviews must accompany
|
|
any qualification claim; catalog presence alone is not a pass.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only [native question/resume qualification](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#task-continuation)
|
|
separates a completed two-answer user journey from semantic-tool documentation
|
|
qualification. It verifies the exact provider-pause or semantic-response-wake
|
|
binding for each answer and preserves prior grades when the definition changes.
|
|
|
|
## Lifecycle behavior baseline
|
|
|
|
The credential-free [lifecycle baseline](../tests/lifecycle-baseline/README.md)
|
|
joins unit, scripted-runner, and database integration assertions to a scenario
|
|
inventory before changing narrative-based lifecycle policy. Run
|
|
`pnpm test:lifecycle-baseline` to retain current passes and failures. Its Product
|
|
E2E matcher calibration is separate from live execution; unrun live coverage
|
|
remains explicitly unmeasured.
|
|
|
|
The separate [live lifecycle baseline](../tests/runner-e2e/LIFECYCLE-BASELINE.md)
|
|
defines 46 real-provider Product E2E cells, including paired narrative probes and
|
|
named existing controls on legacy and native Codex. Discover it with
|
|
`pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --list --suite lifecycle-baseline`. Historical execution
|
|
results and follow-up coverage are recorded in that suite's guide.
|
|
|
|
Continuation accounting has an explicit-only eight-cell Product E2E [baseline suite](../tests/runner-e2e/CONTINUATION-ACCOUNTING.md), complementing the deterministic lifecycle inventory.
|
|
|
|
The explicit Product E2E `instruction-persistence` suite verifies private file
|
|
edits, nested and binary agent files, stopped-provider directory saves, server restart, and a fresh task's
|
|
downloaded proof on local native/legacy Codex and native Daytona. See the
|
|
[Product E2E runbook](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md).
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only Product E2E `api-response-reading` suite verifies retrieval of
|
|
large saved API responses on local and Daytona native Codex runs. See the
|
|
[Runner E2E guide](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#bounded-api-response-reading).
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only Product E2E `extended-harnesses` suite covers pending Cursor,
|
|
Copilot and Pi ACP profiles on local and Daytona. See the
|
|
[fixture admission, credentials and budget contract](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#extended-acp-harnesses-explicit-only).
|
|
The private Runner Evals campaign of the same name provides complementary
|
|
semantic protocol cases; catalog membership is not live qualification.
|
|
|
|
The explicit local [Copilot protection fixtures](../tests/runner-e2e/FIXTURES.md#copilot-native-protection)
|
|
exercise native permission denial with operator cancellation and bounded attached
|
|
command settlement. Their registration remains separate from paid qualification;
|
|
source/pack provenance and complete persisted evidence are required.
|
|
The explicit-only Product E2E `confirmation-replies` suite tests conversational
|
|
approval and rejection, persisted message provenance, approval before execution,
|
|
ambiguous proposals, and the existing card-click path with native Claude/Codex.
|
|
See the [suite contract](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#conversational-confirmation-replies-explicit-only).
|
|
|
|
Hiring notification accounting now also requires exact completed action attribution. Missing native/provider ID mapping is uncomparable evidence; it must not be reported as a model task regression or waived through name/order matching. The fixture waits for both known completion callbacks and settled bracketed observations, including the gap before pending outbox work becomes a wake. Strict action replay and original machine verdicts are retained separately.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only [planning guidance utility comparison](../tests/runner-e2e/PLAN-TASK-GUIDANCE.md) measures task decomposition and handoffs with current, short, and disabled skills.
|
|
|
|
The explicit-only [task-workspaces Product E2E suite](../tests/runner-e2e/README.md#projectless-task-workspaces-explicit-only)
|
|
covers projectless task files, deferred repository acquisition, controller restart
|
|
and nested Git/dirty-file persistence on legacy local, native local and native
|
|
Daytona OpenCode. Its three configured cells use independent filesystem, public
|
|
API and download oracles; no live qualification is implied by fixture registration.
