From 4547d19937f461319f20828455811c897430dd8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shekhar Mudarapu Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 16:00:12 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 5/7] fix(verifier-bakeoff): surface write failures, guard V0 cache, retry failed resumes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - verifier_bakeoff::run creates scratch_dir up front and propagates every cache append failure (decision_study::append_jsonl now returns Result) instead of silently dropping writes. - V0 now errors loudly if decision-scores.jsonl is missing/empty, instead of silently scoring V0 at n=0 — points to `--decision-study` as the fix. - jev_replay's load_priors doc comment no longer inherits resumable_ids' # Errors section; the two are separated again with their own docs. - run_v2_scores/run_v3_tests/run_openjev_scores now retry failed records on resume (score None / zero parsed tests / raw_ok false) via a shared decision_study::resumable_ids helper, mirroring jev_replay's resumable_ids/last-record-wins fix for fetch-priors. - score_bakeoff's n_dev/n_held_out are now the labeled dataset's partition sizes, computed once, rather than whichever verifier iterates last (which could under-report if a verifier only scored a subset). - render formats tau via format_tau so small positive values (e.g. 8.39e-6) don't print as 0.0000 indistinguishable from a true zero (now "0"). Regenerated docs/benchmarks/verifier-bakeoff.md from the existing complete caches: only tau formatting changed (V1 0.0000 -> 8.39e-6, V2 0.0000 -> 0); every catch/collateral/AUC/verdict/selected-verifier number is identical to the previously committed report, so ADR 0013 and the CHANGELOG needed no changes.
