Summary

Adds end-to-end coverage and production image support for Gym-backed agent evaluation.

Gym evaluations now run in a dedicated, releasable nmp-gym-tasks image containing Gym and Ray in an isolated virtual environment. The shared nmp-cpu-tasks image remains unchanged and does not include those dependencies.

Changes

Gym Agent Evaluation

  • Preserve Gym source rows and structured metadata across Platform API serialization.
  • Pass Gym model settings through GymRunnerTarget.hydra_params.
  • Use OpenAI-compatible mock provider responses accepted by Gym’s runtime validation.
  • Route GymRunnerTarget jobs to nmp-gym-tasks; continue routing other agent evaluations to nmp-cpu-tasks.
  • Support NEMO_EVALUATOR_GYM_TASKS_IMAGE as a fully qualified image override.

Gym Task Image

  • Add a dedicated nmp-gym-tasks image derived from nmp-cpu-tasks.
  • Install Gym and Ray into an isolated /opt/gym-venv.
  • Add a reproducible dependency lock for Linux amd64 and arm64.
  • Add a smoke target that validates the Gym CLI and imports Gym, Ray, and tiktoken.

Image Publication

  • Publish SHA-tagged Gym images through the CPU CI workflow.
  • Add nmp-gym-tasks to nightly and stable release publication.
  • Add NGC catalog metadata for the released image.

CI

  • Add a dedicated Kind Gym E2E job.
  • Pre-pull nmp-gym-tasks into the dedicated Kind cluster.
  • Trigger Gym coverage when relevant Evaluator, Docker, or E2E inputs change.

E2E Coverage

  • Verify successful Gym AgentEval execution.
  • Verify completed trial artifacts and both correct and incorrect rewards.
  • Verify invalid Gym configuration reaches a terminal error.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with documentation updates
  • Documentation only
  • Contributor tooling or automation
  • CI, build, or test infrastructure

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Documentation updated for user-visible behavior
  • Documentation not applicable — justification:

Verification

  • Pull request title follows the repository's Conventional Commit format
  • Every commit includes an appropriate Signed-off-by: trailer
  • uv run pre-commit run -a passes, or any blocked checks are identified below
  • Targeted tests pass, or tests are marked not applicable above
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials are included

Targeted validation:

  • Built the runtime and smoke images locally with docker buildx bake nmp-gym-tasks-docker nmp-gym-tasks-smoke-test.
  • Smoke validation imported nemo-gym 0.5.0, ray 2.57.0, and tiktoken 0.13.0.
  • Started NeMo Platform locally with the jobs controller and my-registry/nmp-gym-tasks:local.
  • Ran test_gym_agent_evaluate_job_completes against the local platform: 1 passed in 177.20s.
  • Ran uv run --frozen pytest plugins/nemo-evaluator/tests/test_agent_evaluate.py -q: 57 passed.
  • Ran NGC metadata tests: 14 passed.
  • Validated the Docker bake graph and both CPU build groups.
  • git diff --check passed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change broadens evaluator task inputs and metadata, adds a dedicated Gym task image, selects that image for Gym targets, adds Gym agent-evaluation E2E tests, and integrates Gym image builds and tests into CI and release workflows.

Changes

Gym evaluator integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Flexible task input contract
plugins/nemo-evaluator/src/nemo_evaluator/api/fields.py, plugins/nemo-evaluator/openapi/openapi.yaml, plugins/nemo-evaluator/tests/api/v2/test_tasks_routes.py, plugins/nemo-evaluator/tests/test_content_hash.py
TaskInputs accepts arbitrary JSON-compatible fields. MetadataItem.value accepts JSON-compatible values. API, OpenAPI, validation, and hashing tests cover the updated behavior.
Runtime input preservation
plugins/nemo-evaluator/src/nemo_evaluator/jobs/..., packages/nemo_evaluator_sdk/src/..., plugins/nemo-evaluator/tests/test_agent_evaluate.py, packages/nemo_evaluator_sdk/tests/...
Runtime conversion and Gym dataset documentation describe preservation and reconstruction of task-specific inputs. Round-trip and runtime tests cover the behavior.
Dedicated Gym image build
docker/Dockerfile.nmp-gym-tasks, docker/locks/nmp-gym-tasks/pyproject.toml, docker-bake.hcl, docker/locks/README.md, .github/assets/ngc/containers/nmp-gym-tasks.md
Adds locked Gym dependencies, an isolated Gym runtime image, a smoke-test target, lock maintenance guidance, and container metadata.
Gym image selection
plugins/nemo-evaluator/src/nemo_evaluator/config.py, plugins/nemo-evaluator/src/nemo_evaluator/jobs/agent_compiler.py, plugins/nemo-evaluator/tests/test_agent_evaluate.py
Gym targets use config.gym_tasks_image when configured or nmp-gym-tasks by default. Other targets continue using the standard CPU image.
Gym evaluator E2E coverage
e2e/test_evaluator_plugin.py, pytest.ini
Adds successful and invalid-configuration Gym evaluation tests. The tests validate job status, trial artifacts, completed statuses, and rewards.
CI and release integration
.github/workflows/ci.yaml, .github/workflows/release.yaml, .github/actions/changes/action.yaml
CI builds the dedicated image, runs Gym tests in a separate Kind job, and includes that job in aggregate status. Release metadata and smoke-test path filtering include Gym coverage.

The rebase onto main's promptless-row handling (which independently
touched discover_gym_tasks) surfaced tests still asserting gym_row
lives under inputs. It moved to metadata earlier in this branch, since
the wire-facing TaskInputs DTO only recognizes `instruction` and has
nowhere else for an arbitrary dataset row to travel through a
submitted job spec.

SandyChapman added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 20, 2026
The Gym runner shipped with no documentation. "Gym" appeared nowhere in
`docs/`, even though `GymAgentTaskRunner` sits alongside the Callable and
Harbor runners in the SDK and `GymRunnerTarget` alongside Codex, Fabric, and
Harbor in the job spec.

Targets and Runners was also wrong about the one thing readers copy from it.
`AgentTaskRunner` is a two-member protocol -- `run_tasks` *and* `runner_info` --
but the page called it "the one-method protocol", showed only `run_tasks`, and
its `EchoRunner` example omitted `runner_info`. That example does not work:
being `@runtime_checkable`, the protocol rejects the class, and the run dies
with `NotImplementedError: unsupported agent-eval target type: EchoRunner`,
naming neither the protocol nor the missing method. Fixed, and the failure mode
is now stated so the error is searchable.

Adds "Evaluate a NeMo Gym Environment" beside the Harbor page, which had the
same shape already: an example README in `examples/gym/` and no doc. It covers
install and the `PATH` constraint, credentials, task discovery, the config
reference, results, output directories, the two-step Gym invocation, and
submission as a platform job.

DEPENDS ON #1315. The submission section stores Gym rows on a taskset, which
needs both halves of that PR: `TaskInputs` going `extra="forbid"` ->
`extra="allow"` so `inputs['gym_row']` is accepted, and `MetadataItem.value`
going `str` -> `JsonValue` so `metadata['gym_row_extras']` survives as a dict.
On current main the documented snippet raises `TaskInputs / gym_row / Extra
inputs are not permitted`. Worth noting that the docs snippet linter does NOT
catch this -- `TaskInputs(**task.inputs)` hides the extra keys from static
analysis -- so CI cannot gate it. Do not merge ahead of #1315.

Everything here was executed rather than read. A throwaway venv with
`nemo-gym` installed ran three live evaluations against mcqa, which caught four
errors in my own draft: `agent_config` was `configs/simple_agent.yaml` where the
real value is `responses_api_agents/simple_agent/configs/simple_agent.yaml`;
`result.summary.scores` does not iterate scores (`.scores.scores` does);
`work_dir` needs a `Path`; and the page never showed how to set an output
directory at all. The score names, the 0-100 vs 0-1 scale note, and the
`gym_run/` artifact list are copied from real output. The submission snippet was
executed verbatim against #1315's branch, and two more traps came out of it: a
task cannot be named after `task.id` (a 64-char hash starting with a digit,
against a 63-char cap requiring a leading letter), and `GymRewardMetric` is not
a built-in type so the inline packager rejects it.

Two fixes outside the docs tree, both found while sourcing from the example:

`examples/gym/README.md` said to install Gym "in the same environment as the
SDK". The source says the opposite, and it is right -- Gym imports Ray at module
load and nemo-platform excludes Ray by constraint. Its "Next steps" also linked
`runtimes/gym_runtime.py`, which became the `runtimes/gym/` package; split into
live links to `config.py` and `runtime.py`.

The reuse guard's `FileExistsError` told the caller to "give each run a fresh
output_dir". There is no such parameter -- it is `AgentEvalRunConfig.work_dir`
-- so the message sent readers looking for an argument that does not exist.

Targets and Runners was also wrong about the one thing readers copy from it.
`AgentTaskRunner` is a two-member protocol -- `run_tasks` *and* `runner_info` --
but the page called it "the one-method protocol", showed only `run_tasks`, and
its `EchoRunner` example omitted `runner_info`. That example does not work:
being `@runtime_checkable`, the protocol rejects the class, and the run dies
with `NotImplementedError: unsupported agent-eval target type: EchoRunner`,
naming neither the protocol nor the missing method. Fixed, and the failure mode
is now stated so the error is searchable.

Adds "Evaluate a NeMo Gym Environment" beside the Harbor page, which had the
same shape already: an example README in `examples/gym/` and no doc. It covers
install and the `PATH` constraint, credentials, task discovery, the config
reference, results, output directories, the two-step Gym invocation, and
submission as a platform job.

Everything here was executed rather than read. A throwaway venv with
`nemo-gym` installed ran three live evaluations against mcqa, which caught four
errors in my own draft: `agent_config` was `configs/simple_agent.yaml` where the
real value is `responses_api_agents/simple_agent/configs/simple_agent.yaml`;
`result.summary.scores` does not iterate scores (`.scores.scores` does);
`work_dir` needs a `Path`; and the page never showed how to set an output
directory at all. The score names, the 0-100 vs 0-1 scale note, and the
`gym_run/` artifact list are copied from real output. The taskset-submission block
is executed verbatim in review too -- it stores five tasks from the bundled mcqa
dataset and the job side rebuilds all five rows from them. The submission snippet was
executed verbatim against #1315's branch, and two more traps came out of it: a
task cannot be named after `task.id` (a 64-char hash starting with a digit,
against a 63-char cap requiring a leading letter), and `GymRewardMetric` is not
a built-in type so the inline packager rejects it.

Two fixes outside the docs tree, both found while sourcing from the example:

`examples/gym/README.md` said to install Gym "in the same environment as the
SDK". The source says the opposite, and it is right -- Gym imports Ray at module
load and nemo-platform excludes Ray by constraint. Its "Next steps" also linked
`runtimes/gym_runtime.py`, which became the `runtimes/gym/` package; split into
live links to `config.py` and `runtime.py`.

The reuse guard's `FileExistsError` told the caller to "give each run a fresh
output_dir". There is no such parameter -- it is `AgentEvalRunConfig.work_dir`
-- so the message sent readers looking for an argument that does not exist.

Codex path) and is expected to follow it.

The Fabric page is verified the same way: its config and run blocks execute
verbatim against a real Fabric -> Codex -> Relay evaluation, producing a
completed trial with an `atif` trajectory. That caught two defects in the draft --
`work_dir` needed a `Path`, and the example task declared `metrics=[]`, which the
evaluator rejects outright. `FabricContainerRuntime` is documented from source
rather than run: its own tests use a fake sandbox provider, so there was nothing
live to exercise.
