…e no agent ran Running the AALGO-485 coverage sweep across five Gym environments turned up two ways a Gym run fails without saying anything useful, and one way it fails while reporting success. A startup timeout said only "Gym servers not ready within 240.0s", sending the reader to a log dominated by the servers that started fine. Gym polls and prints the outstanding set every time, so the message now names it, and says which knob to raise — `legal_agent_bench` legitimately needs ~8 minutes on a cold cache because startup installs its dependencies and prepares a Harbor task tree. A collection failure named the two eval logs, neither of which holds the cause. Observed on `wmt_translation`: `gym eval run` reports a bare HTTP 500 while the traceback explaining it sits in gym_env.log, which the message never mentioned. Worse, an environment whose agent never starts produces rollouts that look normal: `legal_agent_bench` recorded two "completed" trials scoring 0.0 with an empty failures sidecar, having never called the model. A verifier-scored runner reports whatever reward Gym computed, so that is indistinguishable from an agent that tried and scored zero — and it would have been read as poor performance in the Gym/Harbor/Fabric comparison AALGO-434 depends on. `_agent_never_ran` now detects it from stated zero *input*-side token usage plus no output, marks those trials FAILED with the reward withheld, and raises when that is the whole run. Input-side only, because a model call always sends a prompt: zero output tokens merely describes an empty answer, which is a legitimate result. Also fixes `gym eval run` littering `outputs/<date>/<time>/` into the caller's cwd — it builds its own argv and never received the `hydra.run.dir` redirect that `_selection_args` carries. The coverage tests no longer skip for want of a model endpoint: a stdlib stub serves the rollouts, answering each prompt with that row's own ground truth so a mis-attributed rollout scores 0 and fails the test rather than passing quietly. `NEMO_GYM_POLICY_BASE_URL` remains an override for running against a real model.

Two things from review on #1295. They are in one commit because the second relocated the file the first changed, so separating them afterwards would mean reconstructing a file that no longer exists. **Review fix — the all-empty raise ignored unattributed failures.** The guard covered unattributed *successes* but not failures. Both are invisible to `len(trials)` for the same reason, neither becomes a trial, and a failure record is a diagnosis in its own right — an OOM-killed agent, say. A run with one empty rollout and one unattributed failure raised "No agent ran" despite the environment having recorded something. Reproduced, fixed, regression test added. **Review fix — the token-usage keys now have a checked source of truth.** The question was whether they could come from Gym. They cannot: this runtime never imports `nemo_gym` (it shells out, and we exclude Ray by constraint), and the names are not Gym's — they are OpenAI's, from the Chat Completions and Responses usage schemas, and `openai` is a dependency here. Added a test asserting the tuple matches both schemas, rather than deriving it at import time: what we match is wire-format JSON, stable regardless of how that package organises its modules, and importing a nested path for five string literals would break the runner if it ever moves. **The split.** At ~1600 lines the module had outgrown a single file. Now a package named for the runtime, following the `fabric/` and `codex/` precedent already in `runtimes/` — `runtime.py` as the entry point, siblings named for what they own: config.py GymRuntimeConfig and the Hydra grammar it serializes into records.py Gym's on-disk artifacts and the index key that joins them dataset.py Gym rows to tasks, and back to a dataset Gym collects against results.py rollouts read back as trials and scores process.py locating, watching and tearing down the gym CLI runtime.py GymAgentTaskRunner — orchestration only Largest module is now 543 lines. The relocation itself changes no behaviour: code was moved by slicing line ranges rather than retyped, so the relocated line count matches the original exactly. `records.py` earns its place rather than being a leftovers bin. The `_ng_task_index` / `_ng_rollout_index` pair is the attribution contract between the half that *writes* it onto a materialized row (dataset) and the half that *reads* it back off a rollout (results); one definition is what stops the writer and reader disagreeing, and putting it in either module would create a cycle. `config.py` likewise holds the config model together with its Hydra serialization: splitting them needs a cycle, since `_selection_args` takes a `GymRuntimeConfig`, and they are two halves of one idea — what Gym is told, and how it is told. The import path changes from `runtimes.gym_runtime` to `runtimes.gym`. Only two non-test call sites existed, both updated; the public names re-export from `__init__` unchanged. No compatibility shim, on the same reasoning as the field rename in the follow-up: the runner is beta and young enough that a permanent alias would cost more than it saves.

Review feedback on #1295, from Nick and from CodeRabbit. The fixes and the split are one commit because the split relocated the file the fixes changed, so separating them afterwards would mean reconstructing a file that no longer exists. **The all-empty raise ignored unattributed failures.** The guard covered unattributed *successes* but not failures. Both are invisible to `len(trials)` for the same reason, neither becomes a trial, and a failure record is a diagnosis in its own right — an OOM-killed agent, say.

Added a test asserting the tuple matches both schemas, rather than deriving it at import time: what we match is wire-format JSON, stable regardless of how that package organises its modules, and importing a nested path for five string literals would break the runner if it ever moves. **`hydra.run.dir` was the one override emitted unquoted.** Every other value goes through `_hydra_scalar`; this one interpolated a `Path` directly. Checked against Hydra's own parser: a work dir containing `[` raises `OverrideParseException`, and — worse — one containing `,` silently parses as a `ChoiceSweep`, so the run directory would be wrong rather than rejected. Spaces turn out to be fine, so the risk is narrower than it first looks, but the value is a path and paths are exactly where those characters appear. Now quoted at both call sites, with a parametrized regression test. **A missing results file raised a bare `FileNotFoundError`.** Sibling reads in that module guard existence or degrade; `_trials_from_rollouts` did not. It is reachable: `_ensure_fresh_output` deletes any stale file before the run and `_collect_rollouts` already raised on a non-zero exit, so an absent file means Gym reported success and wrote nothing. Now names the collection log and the per-server startup log, like the other diagnostics here. **The split.** At ~1600 lines the module had outgrown a single file.

`env_overrides` read as "environment variables" to everyone who met it. It is
not: the "env" is Gym's *environment* (the resources-server), and the values
become Hydra config overrides — `{'a': {'b': 1}}` flattens to `++a.b=1`. The
name is now `hydra_params`, which says what it does.
That frees `env` to mean what people assumed, and the gap it leaves is real.
Some Gym environments are configurable only through the OS environment:
`wmt_translation` reads `WMT_TRANSLATION_COMET_PY_CACHE` for its model-cache
root and otherwise defaults to `/opt/Gym/.cache/comet-python`, a path that
exists only inside NVIDIA's container image, so on any other machine it fails
with `PermissionError: /opt/Gym` before the GPU requirement is even reached.
Until now the only way to set that was to export it before invoking the
runner, which makes a property of the *environment* into a property of
whoever happened to launch the run — and a job spec executed elsewhere has no
ambient environment to inherit from at all. The new `env_vars` field carries
it in the config instead.
Precedence is this process's environment, then the Ray uv-hook default, then
`env_vars`. Explicit config wins over both, including over the Ray setting:
that default exists to make Gym work rather than as an invariant, and someone
debugging that hook needs a way to put it back. `_gym_invocation_env` exists
so this is assertable without starting Ray.
`env_vars` is redacted in `RunnerInfo.config` on the same rules as
`hydra_params`, and needs it more: an environment variable is the conventional
way to hand a process an API key, so a caller doing the obvious thing would
otherwise write one into the run bundle. Verified the existing markers catch
`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `HF_TOKEN`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` and `DB_PASSWORD` while
leaving `WMT_TRANSLATION_COMET_PY_CACHE` and `HTTPS_PROXY` verbatim.
BREAKING CHANGE: `env_overrides` is renamed to `hydra_params` on both
`GymRuntimeConfig` and the Gym runner-target job spec, so it changes the REST
contract in plugins/nemo-evaluator/openapi/openapi.yaml. The field landed in
main one day ago (#1257) and has no known callers.

Rebased onto main after #1295 split `gym_runtime.py` into the `gym/` package.
Re-applied on the new layout rather than resolving a delete/modify conflict
against a file that no longer exists. One placement changed as a result:
`_gym_invocation_env` now lives in `gym/process.py` rather than beside the
runner. The environment a CLI is invoked with is part of how it is run, which
is what that module is for, and it keeps the runtime module orchestration-only.
It is `process.py`'s first dependency on `config.py`, which stays acyclic.

Summary
Running the AALGO-485 coverage sweep across five Gym environments found two ways a Gym run fails without saying anything useful, and one way it fails while reporting success. Before: a startup timeout said only
Gym servers not ready within 240.0s; a collection failure named two logs, neither holding the cause; and an environment whose agent never started produced "completed" trials scoring 0.0. After: the timeout names the outstanding server and the knob to raise, the collection failure points at the log with the traceback, and a rollout where the model was never called is failed rather than scored.Also makes the rollout coverage tests runnable without a model endpoint, which is what let the sweep establish any of this — that half of the suite had never executed.

_agent_never_ranwent through five rounds of independent adversarial review, and rounds 1, 2, 4 and 5 each found another rollout shape where it misfired in the destructive direction — failing a healthy trial or aborting a valid run. Every one is fixed and regression-tested, and the last change moves from excluding shapes one at a time to an invariant (a call always consumes input tokens) that should retire the class. But the honest read is that inferring "the model was never called" from an unstandardised usage block is a heuristic, and it is wired to a destructive action.Worth a second opinion on whether the runner should be able to fail an entire run on that inference, or whether it should stamp the trial and warn, leaving the decision to the caller. The detection itself earned its place — it is what caught
