Nudge: the guidance preserves scoring and integrity blockers, but the policy boundary and guidance-only enforcement need confirmation before merge.
Needs action:
- Confirm whether exactly 2% should pass:
run-validation.mdandSKILL.mduse inclusive ≤2%, while the requested tolerance was <2%; align the guidance with the intended boundary. - Explain in the PR body why agent-applied guidance is preferred over extending
day0-release/scripts/gate_run.pywith structured counts, using existing JSON or Pydantic validation; clarify how callers verify the policy before constructing summaries. - Add evaluation agent scenarios for the chosen boundary, just-over-threshold rates, overlapping/resumed records, and protocol-valid zeros versus missing trials. The added gate test covers warnings/blockers, not application of the new policy.
- ✂️ Compress
evaluation/SKILL.mdStep 9 to “Apply run-validation.md’s Bounded Evaluation-Failure Policy and Timeout and Output-Limit Accounting before reporting scores; for comparisons, also apply External Baseline Sanity Check, then use compare-results.” Keep detailed rules in the reference.

Chad's Agent: addressed review #2475 (review) in bf83506 and the PR description. The policy now uses strict <2% before rounding; exactly 2% requires review. The PR body explains why validation stays agent-applied and how callers verify artifact evidence before constructing summaries. Added three scenarios covering boundaries/rounding, overlapping/resumed records, and protocol-valid zeros versus missing trials. Step 9 now links to the canonical policy/accounting instead of repeating its rules. Validation: 81 focused tests, scenario structure/skill paths, exact arithmetic/union checks, and changed-file hooks passed. Agent scenarios were added but not executed; no live evaluations run. |

Nudge: the boundary and design concerns are resolved, but standalone analysis still lacks a regression scenario proving it loads the policy.
Needs action:
- 💬 Author replied: standalone routing was fixed — add a scenario in
evaluation/tests/evals.jsonstarting with onlylaunching-evals; verify canonical validation loads before scores and overrides conflicting uncapping/fixed-limit advice. - Run the bounded-failure and standalone-analysis agent scenarios, and record results in the PR body; the reported gate tests do not exercise agent-applied validation.
No action needed:
- ✔️ Resolved since the last review: strict <2% boundaries, guidance-only design rationale, boundary/deduplication/failed-scoring scenarios, and Step 9 compression.
- The SciCode expectation edit is justified by the new parent-approved rerun policy; blocker assertions remain intact.

I want to allow the agent to permit a small percentage (<2%) of failures due to truncation, timeout, or other.
With the current wording, I'm seeing the agent fails runs where ~few of 500 samples are truncated, and so it re-runs. Finally, it decides it can't successfully run the benchmark even though all were giving the right score.

TB timeouts are included in the possible <2% failures.
Separately I'm trying to reduce the number of timeouts with something like #2646 but I haven't finalized that PR yet.

[P2] Please align the day0 retry guidance with this review requirement. day0-release/SKILL.md still maps EVAL_JUDGE_FAILED to "wait and retry" (line 284). I verified that a complete 100-trial run with 3 protocol-valid judge timeouts retained in errors produces that failure class, so the parent receives conflicting instructions and can automatically rerun an above-tolerance completed run. Update the maintained day0 triage guidance to require parent/user review for completed runs that fail the tolerance, or explicitly establish this policy's precedence over those retry instructions.

Chad's Agent: Addressed in fa8759a. day0-release/SKILL.md now gives completed-run validation precedence over triage retries and requires parent/user review rather than automatic resubmission for tolerance or independent validation failures. Updated EVAL_JUDGE_FAILED accordingly. Diff/link checks passed; local gate tests could not run because pytest is unavailable.

Clarify that benchmark protocol limits remain fixed.
Line 15 can be read as allowing changes to benchmark protocol limits. The linked policy requires those limits to remain fixed and requires approval for proposed changes. This ambiguity may produce non-comparable scores.

What does this PR do?
Type of change: documentation.
Chad's Agent: tolerate bounded evaluation failures instead of invalidating complete runs for every unusable output or terminal timeout. Per benchmark/run, both applicable gates must be strictly below 2% before rounding (exactly 2% requires review): model-output faults use verified unique successful responses; attributable runtime failures use expected trials including repeats. Deduplicate categories and resumed records within each gate; never add rates.
Runtime request, judge, executor/sandbox, solver, terminal action, and harness failures qualify only when recorded and scored incorrect/zero under the benchmark's existing protocol. Preserve diagnostics, private raw evidence, failures, and original score denominators. Missing/unscored trials, fabricated/fallback scoring, secrets, wrong identity/configuration, contamination, provenance failures, and systemic broken scoring remain blockers. Above tolerance requires parent review without automatic retry or tuning. Tolerance does not establish negligible score impact or leaderboard comparability.
Subagents load the policy through the evaluation skill; their definitions are unchanged. Score, validation, and MLflow delivery remain separate. Vendored skills are unchanged. Concurrency changes are isolated in #2646.
Usage
Guidance only; no scoring semantics or runtime gate logic changed. Apply
plugins/modelopt/skills/evaluation/references/run-validation.mdbefore reporting scores. Keep accepted diagnostics in run-summarywarningsand unresolved blockers inerrors.Why guidance-only validation?
The policy serves NEL and nel-next workflows, including analysis outside day0. Their artifacts differ in response identity, retries, repeats, and protocol-defined failure scoring. Counts or JSON/Pydantic validation alone cannot verify that evidence; extending
gate_run.pynow would imply enforcement without a shared artifact-accounting implementation.Before constructing summaries, callers inspect resolved configs, logs, and raw response/trial artifacts; verify complete coverage, identities, failed scoring, deduplicated counts, and both rates; and retain evidence paths in the handoff. Unknown evidence blocks validation. Only accepted failures become
warnings; unresolved blockers remainerrors. The summary gate validates status, sample accounting, and numeric scores, not this evidence or the tolerance.Testing
git diff --check: passed.test_failure_guidance.py;AGENTS.mdunchanged. Added three agent scenarios for strict boundaries, overlapping/resumed records, and scored zeros versus missing trials.Before your PR is "Ready for review"
