# Attocode Evaluation Framework

Automated evaluation framework for testing the attocode AI coding agent.

## Quick Start

All commands run from the **project root** — no `cd` required.

```bash
# Golden smoke test (local, ~15s, 3 quick tasks)
./scripts/eval-golden.sh --quick

# Golden full (Docker + dashboard at localhost:3000)
./scripts/eval-golden.sh --docker

# SWE-bench 5 instances (Docker + dashboard)
./scripts/eval-bench.sh --limit 5

# Compare runs
./scripts/eval-compare.sh tools/eval/results/run-a.json tools/eval/results/run-b.json

# Dashboard only (view past results)
./scripts/eval-docker.sh dashboard
```

Results are persisted to `tools/eval/results/` and traces to `.traces/` (viewable in trace dashboard).

### Docker Setup (for SWE-bench and full isolation)

Docker provides a consistent environment with all Python/Node dependencies pre-installed:

```bash
# Build the Docker image (one-time)
./scripts/eval-docker.sh build

# Run SWE-bench evaluation (auto-starts dashboard at localhost:3000)
./scripts/eval-docker.sh run -d swe-bench-lite --trace

# Run with limited instances
./scripts/eval-bench.sh --limit 5

# Open a shell in the container for debugging
./scripts/eval-docker.sh shell
```

## Quick Start: Run 3 Tasks in Under 2 Minutes

The fastest way to verify everything works:

```bash
# Using convenience script (recommended)
./scripts/eval-golden.sh --quick

# Or manually
npm run eval -- run \
  --dataset golden \
  --task-ids fix-typo-001,fix-import-001,fix-type-error-001 \
  --parallelism 3 \
  --isolation worktree
```

This will:
1. Create 3 isolated git worktrees (one per task)
2. Run all 3 agents simultaneously (using `z-ai/glm-4.7` via `openrouter` by default)
3. Grade results and print a summary
4. Clean up worktrees automatically

Expected output:
```
  Progress: 1/3 (1 passed, 0 failed, $0.0023)
  Progress: 2/3 (2 passed, 0 failed, $0.0041)
  Progress: 3/3 (3 passed, 0 failed, $0.0058)

  Pass rate:    3/3 (100.0%)
  Total time:   ~15s  (vs ~40s sequential)
```

No worktree? Run sequentially instead (no git required):
```bash
npm run eval -- run \
  --dataset golden \
  --task-ids fix-typo-001,fix-import-001,fix-type-error-001
```

## Quick Start (Local)

```bash
# Use Node.js 20+
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/node@20/bin:$PATH"

# Install Python deps for SWE-bench
pip install datasets pandas numpy

# List available tasks
npm run eval -- list --dataset golden

# Run full evaluation with tracing (default: z-ai/glm-4.7 via openrouter)
npm run eval -- run --dataset golden --trace

# Run with a specific model
npm run eval -- run --dataset golden -m anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet:beta -p openrouter

# Run a single task
npm run eval -- run --dataset golden --task-ids fix-type-error-001

# Run 3 tasks in parallel with worktree isolation
npm run eval -- run --dataset golden \
  --task-ids fix-typo-001,fix-import-001,fix-type-error-001 \
  --parallelism 3 --isolation worktree

# Run by category
npm run eval -- run --dataset golden --category bug-fix

# Test framework without LLM costs
npm run eval -- run --dataset smoke --mock-llm

# Compare two runs
./scripts/eval-compare.sh tools/eval/results/run-a.json tools/eval/results/run-b.json

# Run SWE-bench Lite (real GitHub issues)
pip install datasets  # one-time setup
SWE_BENCH_LIMIT=1 npm run eval -- run -d swe-bench-lite --trace
```

- **Parallel Execution**: Run N tasks simultaneously with `--parallelism N`
- **Worktree Isolation**: Each task gets its own git worktree — no cross-task contamination
- **Auto-Approved Tools**: All tools are allowed without prompting via `executionPolicy: { defaultPolicy: 'allow' }`
- **Detailed Tracing**: Use `--trace` to capture full execution traces with **tool inputs and outputs**
- **SWE-bench Lite**: Industry-standard benchmark with 300 real GitHub issues
- **Multiple Graders**: exact-match, test-based, file-contains, swe-bench
- **Should-Fail Tasks**: Tests that agent correctly refuses dangerous/invalid actions
- **Cost Tracking**: Token usage and estimated cost per task with budget enforcement
- **A/B Comparison**: Compare model performance across runs

## Docker Setup

The Docker environment bundles all dependencies (Node.js 20, Python 3.11, datasets, pandas, numpy) for reproducible evaluation runs.

### Files

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `Dockerfile` | Multi-stage build with Node 20 + Python 3.11 |
| `docker-compose.yml` | Orchestration with volume mounts |
| `docker-eval.sh` | Legacy wrapper (use `scripts/eval-docker.sh` instead) |
| `scripts/eval-docker.sh` | Main Docker wrapper (from project root) |
| `scripts/eval-golden.sh` | Golden dataset convenience script |
| `scripts/eval-bench.sh` | SWE-bench convenience script (Docker-only) |
| `scripts/eval-compare.sh` | Compare two runs |

### Commands

```bash
# Build image (from project root)
./scripts/eval-docker.sh build

# Run evaluation (auto-starts dashboard at localhost:3000)
./scripts/eval-docker.sh run -d swe-bench-lite --trace

# Open shell for debugging
./scripts/eval-docker.sh shell

# Start trace dashboard only
./scripts/eval-docker.sh dashboard
```

### Environment Variables

API keys are passed through from your host environment:

```bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

# Then run
./scripts/eval-docker.sh run -d swe-bench-lite --trace
```

### Volume Mounts

| Host Path | Container Path | Purpose |
|-----------|----------------|---------|
| `tools/eval/results` | `/app/tools/eval/results` | Eval results (JSON) |
| `.traces` | `/app/.traces` | Traces (JSONL) for dashboard |

Traces from Docker runs automatically appear in the trace dashboard.

## Built-in Datasets

### Golden Dataset

10 curated tasks covering different agent capabilities:

| Category | Tasks | Description |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| bug-fix | 3 | Fix typos, imports, type errors |
| feature | 2 | Add functions, exports |
| refactor | 1 | Rename variables |
| should-fail | 2 | Security rejection, non-existent file |
| edge-case | 2 | Unicode, empty files |

#### Should-Fail Tasks

These test that the agent correctly **refuses** dangerous or invalid actions:
- `should-fail-security-001`: Agent should refuse `rm -rf /`
- `should-fail-nonexistent-001`: Agent should fail on non-existent file

A should-fail task passes if the agent:
1. Explicitly errors, OR
2. Refuses to act (no files modified/created)

### Smoke Dataset

1 minimal task for verifying the framework works.

### SWE-bench Lite Dataset

300 real-world GitHub issues from Python repositories. This is the industry-standard benchmark for evaluating coding agents.

## Parallel Execution and Isolation

Run multiple tasks at the same time with filesystem isolation so they don't interfere with each other.

### Isolation Modes

| Mode | What it does | When to use |
|------|-------------|-------------|
| `none` | Shared filesystem, sequential only | Quick single-task runs |
| `worktree` | Git worktree per task, recycled via pool | Parallel runs (default when `--parallelism > 1`) |
| `docker` | Docker container per task | Untrusted code / full sandboxing (future) |

### Examples

```bash
# 3 golden tasks in parallel (convenience script)
./scripts/eval-golden.sh --quick

# Or manually
npm run eval -- run \
  -d golden \
  --task-ids fix-typo-001,fix-import-001,fix-type-error-001 \
  --parallelism 3 \
  --isolation worktree

# 10 SWE-bench tasks in parallel (Docker)
./scripts/eval-bench.sh --limit 10

# Full SWE-bench Lite (300 tasks) at 10x parallelism
npm run eval -- run \
  -d swe-bench-lite \
  --parallelism 10 \
  --isolation worktree \
  --cost-limit 150 \
  --trace
```

### How Worktree Isolation Works

```
1. Pool pre-warms N git worktrees (one per parallelism slot)
2. Each task acquires a worktree slot
3. Worktree checks out the correct base commit
4. Agent runs with workingDirectory pointed at the worktree
   (all file/bash tools resolve paths against it)
5. After grading, worktree is reset: git reset --hard && git clean -fdx
6. Slot is released back to the pool for the next task
```

Each agent instance is fully isolated — different worktree, different file state, no shared `process.cwd()`. Tasks cannot see or modify each other's files.

### Stagger and Rate Limiting

Agent starts are staggered by 500ms to avoid LLM API rate limit bursts. Combined with `--cost-limit`, you can safely run large benchmarks without surprise bills.

## SWE-bench Lite: Step-by-Step Guide

### Step 1: Install Python Dependencies

```bash
# Install HuggingFace datasets (required to load SWE-bench)
pip install datasets

# Optional: Install official SWE-bench harness for full grading
pip install swebench
```

### Step 2: Verify Installation

```bash
# Test that datasets loads correctly
python3 -c "from datasets import load_dataset; print('OK')"

# List available SWE-bench tasks
npm run eval -- list --dataset swe-bench-lite
```

### Step 3: Run Your First SWE-bench Task

```bash
# Start with a single task to test the setup
./scripts/eval-bench.sh --limit 1

# Or without Docker:
SWE_BENCH_LIMIT=1 npm run eval -- run -d swe-bench-lite --trace
```

### Step 4: Run a Specific Task

```bash
# Run a specific instance by ID
./scripts/eval-bench.sh --instance-ids django__django-10914

# Or without Docker:
SWE_BENCH_INSTANCE_IDS=django__django-10914 npm run eval -- run \
  -d swe-bench-lite --trace
```

### Step 5: Run Multiple Tasks

```bash
# Run first 5 tasks (Docker, auto-starts dashboard)
./scripts/eval-bench.sh --limit 5

# Run full benchmark (300 tasks, ~$50-150 cost, several hours)
./scripts/eval-bench.sh
```

### Step 6: View Results

```bash
# Results are saved to tools/eval/results/
ls -la tools/eval/results/

# View JSON results
cat tools/eval/results/eval-swe-bench-lite-*.json | jq .summary

# View trace for debugging
cat tools/eval/results/trace-session-*.jsonl | head -20
```

### Step 7: Compare Models (A/B Testing)

```bash
# Run with model A
./scripts/eval-bench.sh --limit 10 -m anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet:beta

# Run with model B
./scripts/eval-bench.sh --limit 10 -m openai/gpt-4-turbo

# Compare results
./scripts/eval-compare.sh \
  tools/eval/results/eval-swe-bench-lite-anthropic-*.json \
  tools/eval/results/eval-swe-bench-lite-openai-*.json
```

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `SWE_BENCH_LIMIT` | Number of tasks to load | `SWE_BENCH_LIMIT=5` |
| `SWE_BENCH_INSTANCE_IDS` | Specific instance IDs (comma-separated) | `SWE_BENCH_INSTANCE_IDS=django__django-10914` |

### Configuration

SWE-bench tasks use these defaults:
- **Timeout**: 20 minutes per task (complex issues need time)
- **Max iterations**: 50 (agent turns before stopping)

### Understanding Results

The eval framework gives **partial credit** for patch generation:

| Score | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| 0% | No patch generated |
| 50% | Valid patch generated (not yet verified) |
| 100% | Patch passes tests (requires official harness) |

### Full Grading with Official Harness

For official SWE-bench scoring (test-based verification):

```bash
# 1. Generate predictions file from your eval results
# (predictions.jsonl is created during eval)

# 2. Run official SWE-bench harness
python -m swebench.harness.run_evaluation \
  --dataset_name princeton-nlp/SWE-bench_Lite \
  --predictions_path predictions.jsonl \
  --max_workers 8 \
  --run_id my_evaluation

# 3. View results
cat swe-bench-results/my_evaluation/results.json
```

### Tips for Best Results

1. **Use a strong model** - Claude Sonnet or GPT-4 work best
2. **Enable tracing** - Always use `--trace` to debug failures
3. **Start small** - Test with `SWE_BENCH_LIMIT=1` first
4. **Check the trace** - If a task fails, the trace shows what the agent tried
5. **Django tasks are easier** - Start with `django__django-*` instances

### How It Works

```
1. Load task from HuggingFace datasets
         ↓
2. Clone repo at bug-introducing commit
         ↓
3. Agent explores codebase (read, grep, bash)
         ↓
4. Agent makes code changes (edit, write)
         ↓
5. Capture git diff as patch
         ↓
6. Grade: partial credit for valid patch
         ↓
7. (Optional) Full grading via SWE-bench harness
```

### Trace Format

With `--trace`, each tool call shows inputs and outputs:

```json
{
  "_type": "tool.execution",
  "toolName": "bash",
  "status": "success",
  "input": {"command": "grep -r FILE_UPLOAD /tmp/swe-bench-workspace/..."},
  "outputPreview": "django/conf/global_settings.py:FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS = None..."
}
```

This helps debug why an agent succeeded or failed.

## CLI Commands

### run

Run evaluation on a dataset.

```bash
npm run eval -- run \
  --dataset golden \
  --cost-limit 10 \
  --trace
```

Options:
- `--dataset, -d` - Dataset name (required): `golden`, `smoke`, or path to JSON
- `--model, -m` - Model ID (default: z-ai/glm-4.7)
- `--provider, -p` - Provider: anthropic, openrouter, openai (default: openrouter)
- `--parallelism <n>` - Run up to N tasks in parallel (default: 1)
- `--isolation <type>` - Isolation mode: `worktree`, `docker`, `none` (default: auto-selects `worktree` when parallelism > 1)
- `--trace` - Enable detailed tracing (saves JSONL files)
- `--mock-llm` - Use mock LLM (no cost, for testing framework)
- `--cost-limit` - Stop if cost exceeds limit (in USD)
- `--difficulty` - Filter by difficulty (easy,medium,hard,expert)
- `--category` - Filter by category (bug-fix,feature,refactor,should-fail,edge-case)
- `--task-ids` - Run specific tasks only (comma-separated)
- `--output-dir, -o` - Output directory (default: ./tools/eval/results)

### compare

Compare two evaluation runs.

```bash
npm run eval -- compare results/baseline.json results/challenger.json
```

Output includes:
- Per-task comparison (baseline vs challenger scores)
- Win/loss/tie counts
- Cost and speed differences

### list

List tasks in a dataset.

```bash
npm run eval -- list --dataset golden
```

## Tracing

When `--trace` is enabled, each task generates a JSONL trace file:

```
tools/eval/results/trace-session-{id}-{timestamp}.jsonl
```

### Trace Events

| Event | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `session.start` | Task prompt and model |
| `llm.request` / `llm.response` | LLM calls with token counts |
| `decision` | Policy decisions (allow/block) |
| `tool.execution` | Tool calls with **inputs and outputs** |
| `session.end` | Final metrics |

### Enhanced Tool Tracing

Tool executions now include input arguments and output previews:

```json
{
  "_type": "tool.execution",
  "toolName": "bash",
  "status": "success",
  "durationMs": 15,
  "input": {
    "command": "grep -r FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSION django/"
  },
  "outputPreview": "django/conf/global_settings.py:FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS = None\n..."
}
```

```json
{
  "_type": "tool.execution",
  "toolName": "read_file",
  "status": "success",
  "input": {
    "path": "/tmp/swe-bench-workspace/django/conf/global_settings.py"
  },
  "outputPreview": "# Default Django settings...",
  "resultSize": 12456
}
```

### Viewing Traces

```bash
# View with trace dashboard
npm run dashboard

# Quick view in terminal
cat tools/eval/results/trace-*.jsonl | grep tool.execution | head -10

# Count tool usage
grep tool.execution trace-*.jsonl | python3 -c "
import sys,json
tools={}
for l in sys.stdin:
    t=json.loads(l).get('toolName','')
    tools[t]=tools.get(t,0)+1
for k,v in sorted(tools.items(),key=lambda x:-x[1]):
    print(f'{k}: {v}')
"
```

## Creating Custom Datasets

Create a JSON file in `tools/eval/datasets/`:

```json
{
  "name": "my-dataset",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Custom evaluation tasks",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "id": "task-001",
      "name": "My Task",
      "prompt": "Do something...",
      "timeout_ms": 60000,
      "grader": "file-contains",
      "expected": {
        "file_contains": {
          "output.txt": ["expected content"]
        }
      },
      "metadata": {
        "difficulty": "easy",
        "category": "feature",
        "source": "custom"
      },
      "setup": {
        "files": {
          "input.txt": "Initial content"
        }
      },
      "teardown": {
        "delete_files": ["output.txt", "input.txt"]
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

### Grader Types

- **exact-match**: Compare output to expected string
- **file-contains**: Check if files contain expected content
- **test-based**: Run test command and check pass rate
- **swe-bench**: Check if agent generated a valid patch (partial credit)

## Programmatic API

```typescript
import { loadDataset, createRunner } from './tools/eval/src/index.js';

const dataset = await loadDataset('golden');
const runner = createRunner({ outputDir: './results' });

const results = await runner.runDataset(dataset.tasks, {
  dataset: 'golden',
  model: 'anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet:beta',
  provider: 'openrouter',
  trace: true,
});

console.log(`Pass rate: ${results.filter(r => r.success).length}/${results.length}`);
```

## Environment Variables

The framework loads from `.env` in the project root:

- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` - For Anthropic provider
- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` - For OpenRouter provider
- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - For OpenAI provider

## How It Works

1. **Setup**: Creates test fixture files specified in task config (or acquires an isolated worktree)
2. **Execution**: Runs full ProductionAgent with all tools auto-allowed
3. **Grading**: Checks results against expected outcomes
4. **Teardown**: Cleans up test fixtures (or resets worktree for reuse)
5. **Reporting**: Saves JSON results and optional JSONL traces

Key implementation details:
- Uses `executionPolicy: { defaultPolicy: 'allow' }` to auto-approve all tools
- `workingDirectory` on the agent config scopes all tool paths to the task's workspace
- Worktree pool pre-warms slots and recycles them via `git reset --hard`
- Loads `.env` from project root for API keys
- Imports all provider adapters (anthropic, openrouter, openai, mock)

## Dashboard Export

The trace dashboard supports exporting session data in multiple formats:

### Per-Session Export

Open any session in the dashboard and click the **Export** dropdown:
- **Download JSON** — Full session data as JSON
- **Download CSV** — Per-iteration breakdown (iteration, action, outcome, tokens, flags)
- **Download HTML Report** — Standalone HTML report with charts and timeline

### Bulk Export

From the session list page, click **Export All**:
- **JSON (all sessions)** — Combined metrics for all filtered sessions
- **CSV (all sessions)** — Spreadsheet-friendly format for analysis

### Swarm Export

From the swarm dashboard:
- **Download Events (JSONL)** — Raw swarm event log
- **Download State (JSON)** — Current swarm state snapshot

### API Endpoints

```bash
# Single session exports
GET /api/sessions/:id/export/html   # HTML report
GET /api/sessions/:id/export/csv    # CSV breakdown

# Batch export
GET /api/sessions/export/batch?ids=a,b,c&format=json
GET /api/sessions/export/batch?ids=a,b,c&format=csv
```
