Summary

Adds the tool-reliability benchmark scenario to reach the 5-scenario target.

What was added

  • src/evals/cases/tool-reliability.ts: 4 new tool-reliability scenarios
    • tool-reliability.dispatch-smoke: basic tool dispatch structure validation
    • tool-reliability.timeout-handling: tool timeout detection and handling
    • tool-reliability.failure-recovery: fallback behavior on tool failure
    • tool-reliability.result-validation: tool result structure validation
  • Updated fixtures.ts to wire new scenarios through catalog + fixture loading
  • Updated catalog.test.ts with tests for new scenarios

Validation

  • pnpm vitest run src/evals/*.test.ts — 27 tests pass (was 23)
  • New files pass format check

eh-003 Complete

5-scenario target now met:

  • Previous: 4 scenarios (2 HITL + 2 memory)
  • Added: 4 tool-reliability scenarios
  • Total: 8 scenarios

Gate Implications:

  • loadScenariosByCategory('tool-reliability') now returns 4 scenarios
  • getCatalogStats().byCategory['tool-reliability'] returns 4
  • Catalog validation continues to gate CI until all scenarios pass metadata schema

…L + memory)

- Add scenario catalog schema/metadata contracts in catalog.ts
- Add HITL benchmark scenarios (escalation + timeout handling)
- Add Memory path benchmark scenarios (context recall + path traversal)
- Add CI-friendly fixture loading in fixtures.ts
- Add comprehensive validation tests for catalog functionality
- Export all new types and cases from index.ts

Implements eh-002 with seed for eh-003 (5-scenario target)

Architecture Review (Tim)

Target: feat/evaluation-harness ✓ — Correctly targeted.

Content Review:

  • Adds tool-reliability.ts with 4 benchmark cases for tool execution reliability
  • Extends catalog.ts with scenario registration
  • Adds fixtures.ts with test utilities
  • Includes hitl-escalation.ts and memory-recall.ts cases

Code Quality:

  • Proper scenario structure with clear objectives and success criteria
  • Good separation between benchmark cases and test infrastructure
  • Catalog pattern allows easy addition of new scenarios

Note: Large pnpm-lock changes are expected for new dependencies.

Verdict:LGTM — Solid benchmark scenarios for the evaluation harness. Ready to merge.

Merging now.

Merge Conflict Resolution

The merge conflicts with have been resolved.

Conflicts Found (6 files)

    • Export declarations for catalog, JSONL, and scenario cases
    • Default catalog and scenario loading logic
    • Test coverage for catalog and benchmark cases
    • Tool reliability benchmark scenarios
    • HITL escalation scenarios
    • Memory recall scenarios

Resolution Approach

  • Preserved tool reliability scenarios from — upgraded to the new comprehensive versions from (6 cases instead of 4, covering dispatch, unknown tools, retry logic, max retries, timeout/abort, and schema validation)
  • Integrated evaluation harness infrastructure from :
    • JSONL export functionality ()
    • Agent-spawning benchmark scenarios (5 new cases)
    • Enhanced catalog filtering and validation
  • Kept all existing HITL and Memory scenarios with minor formatting improvements
  • Updated test coverage to include all new scenarios with proper assertions

Notable Decisions

  • Used numeric separators (e.g., instead of ) for readability where present in
  • Preserved the export from the original branch
  • Ensured all benchmark categories (hitl, memory, tool-reliability, agent-spawning) are represented in the default catalog

The branch is now merged and ready for review.

* feat(evals): catalog schema + tool-reliability & agent-spawning scenarios (11 new cases)

- catalog.ts: ScenarioCatalog schema with category/difficulty grouping,
  CataloguedEvaluationCase type, filterCatalog, validateScenarioMetadata
- fixtures.ts: createDefaultCatalog, loadScenarios*, getCatalogStats CI loaders
- cases/hitl-escalation.ts: escalation-smoke + timeout-handling (ported from jerry/eval-scenario-schema)

- cases/tool-reliability.ts: 6 new deterministic scenarios
  - dispatch-success: happy-path tool invocation
  - dispatch-unknown-tool: graceful structured error on unknown name
  - retry-on-transient-failure: retry succeeds on nth attempt
  - max-retries-exhausted: retry gives up cleanly at limit
  - timeout-abort: AbortSignal propagation cuts execution early
  - result-schema-validation: validates ok/error result shape contracts
- cases/agent-spawning.ts: 5 new deterministic scenarios
  - basic-spawn-and-complete: child agent lifecycle + result accessible to parent
  - depth-limit-enforcement: spawn rejected beyond MAX_SPAWN_DEPTH=3
  - result-routing-to-requester: result delivered to correct session only
  - orphan-cleanup-on-parent-kill: recursive kill propagates to all descendants
  - parallel-completion-ordering: N concurrent agents collect without loss
- catalog.test.ts: 37 tests covering catalog build, filter, validation,
  per-category smoke runs (all 42 suite tests green)
- index.ts: updated exports for all new symbols

All scenarios: deterministic, no LLM calls, no external services.
Catalog now: 16 cases across 5 categories.

- Supports append mode for incremental CI reporting
- 7 new tests covering path resolution, append, summary, and metrics
