Summary

Lifts pr_diff from v0.1's text-only output to a fully Harbor-runnable RL environment with a multi-component diff-similarity verifier (5 deterministic components + LLM-as-judge). Ships 100 verified environments as a reference dataset on HF Hub.

📦 Reference dataset: https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdithyaSK/repo2rlenv-pr-diff

What this PR does

1. Harbor-runnable env (was text-only)

Every emitted task now ships environment/Dockerfile + tests/test.shharbor run works directly. The Dockerfile is a thin python:3.12-slim + git + claude-code image with the repo cloned at base_commit and the oracle diff base64-baked in. No bootstrap LLM agent. Image builds in ~30 s.

2. Six-component reward (SWE-RL paper's recipe + LLM judge)

Final reward = weighted sum:

Component Weight What it captures
`format_valid` 0.00 Predicted parses as a unified diff (guard)
`size_sanity` 0.08 Catches over/under-generation
`file_targeting` 0.12 F1 over the changed-file sets
`region_overlap` 0.20 Predicted hunks overlap oracle hunks (5-line slack)
`similarity` 0.10 `SequenceMatcher` over `+`/`-` lines only
`llm_judge` 0.50 Haiku rates semantic correctness; graceful degradation

Plus a catastrophic-size hard cap (clamp ≤ 0.40 when `size_sanity < 0.10`).

Weights were retuned via an LLM-driven analysis (Sonnet 4.6 looked at per-task component data from a 23-task pilot and recommended these as data-grounded defaults).

3. Per-task calibration baseline + difficulty bucket

`task.toml.metadata.repo2env.reward_calibration` carries `baseline_reward` (empty-patch score) and `difficulty` (trivial/small/medium/large). Consumers can normalize `(raw - baseline) / (1 - baseline)` for cross-task comparability.

4. Broadened instruction info-leak strip (8 pattern families)

Strips multi-issue closes, See/refs/follow-up linkbacks, markdown issue links, descriptive markdown links to GH URLs (including `redirect.github.com`), commit trailers, title squash suffixes — composite patterns first so we don't leave orphaned `Closes ` keywords.

5. Quality filters at generation time

New gen-time filters drop test-only / docs-only / revert / trivially-small / thin-instruction candidates before emission.

6. Augmented HF Hub dataset card

  • Multi-repo source-list rendering (was single-repo only)
  • Auto-detects whether tasks ship environment/Dockerfile → renders the right run recipe
  • Adds the LLM-judge `--ve ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=$X` flag to the docs (was missing)
  • Adds reproduction recipe ("How it was generated")
  • Pipeline name in tags for HF collection grouping

7. Registry-integration fast path

For self-contained Dockerfiles (`FROM python:3.12-slim` etc.), skip the image-distribution step entirely. Was: pushing any pr_diff dataset failed because the registry integration expected a bootstrap upstream image.

End-to-end verification

Adapter Result
`harbor run -a oracle` reward 1.000 on every emitted task (verifier sound across 4 pilot runs)
`harbor run -a claude-code -m anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6` median 0.71, range 0.16-0.98 across 23-task pilot — healthy eval distribution

Test plan

  • `uv run pytest -q` — 683 passing, 2 skipped
  • `uv run ruff check .` + `uv run ruff format --check .` — clean
  • `repo2rlenv validate` on all 100 published tasks → passes
  • `harbor run -a oracle` smoke on the published dataset (oracle adapter) → reward 1.000
  • `harbor run -a claude-code -m anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6` smoke (single task, full 6-component reward.json with judge fired) → 0.86
  • Documentation updated (pipeline doc, quickstart, README, dataset card)

Files changed

  • `src/repo2rlenv/pipelines/pr_diff.py` — info-leak strip + Harbor env builders + quality filters + calibration baseline
  • `src/repo2rlenv/pipelines/_pr_diff_verifier.py` (new) — pure-stdlib 6-component verifier (base64-baked into tasks at gen time)
  • `src/repo2rlenv/spec/options.py` — new `emit_harbor_env`, `min_loc_changed` options

  • `docs/release_notes/v0.8.3/findings-pr_diff.md` — full findings doc

Out of scope (deferred to v0.9)

  • LLM-judged QA gate at generation time
  • Hunk precision/recall split (replacing the region_overlap scalar)
  • Multi-iteration refinement loop for failed equivalence checks

PR descriptions frequently link back to the answer the agent is supposed
to produce — adding noise that lets a frontier model shortcut by fetching
the linked artifact. We now strip:

  - Closes / Fixes / Resolves #N (already; extended to multi: '#1, #2')
  - See / Refs / Follow-up to #N
  - Markdown issue links [#N](url)
  - Bare github.com /pull/, /issues/, /commit/ URLs
  - Co-authored-by / Signed-off-by / Reviewed-by / Acked-by trailer lines
  - "(#N)" squash-merge suffix on the title

12 new unit tests in tests/test_pipeline_pr_diff.py covering each pattern
+ the end-to-end _build_instruction shape. Full suite at 647 passing.

This is the v0.8.3 Arc 1 optimization landed alongside the full pr_diff
sweep.
Sweeping the 38 launch repos surfaced two leak patterns that slipped past
the v0.8.1 + first-pass strip:

  - Manual close marker in the PR title: " (fixes #N)" — caught
    stretchr/testify#1888.
  - Dependabot release notes embedding `https://redirect.github.com/...`
    URLs that point straight at the linked PR/issue — caught 6 cells
    (gin, jsonschema×2, urfave/cli, expressjs, chronotope).

Title squash-suffix regex now also matches parenthesized closes-style
markers (`(closes|fixes|resolves|see|refs) #N` with optional comma list).
GH-URL regex now matches any `[subdomain.]github.com` host so redirector
domains are stripped too.

Re-ran the sweep after the fix — zero leaks remain across all 127
emitted instructions. Findings + per-pattern verification in
docs/release_notes/v0.8.3/findings-pr_diff.md.

Adds 2 tests to tests/test_pipeline_pr_diff.py covering both real-world
patterns. Full suite at 649 passing.

great catch!

some additional examples we could double-check that are currently handled:

- Closes [#NN](url)
- [descriptive text](https://github.com/x/y/pull/NN)

Sergio's review on the PR surfaced two additional patterns that the
first-pass strip didn't handle cleanly:

1. `Closes [#1234](url)` — the markdown-link form of a Closes/Fixes/
   Resolves ref. The bare-#N regex didn't match, so the keyword was
   left orphaned in the output (only the [#N](url) part was stripped
   by the issue-link regex).

2. `[descriptive text](https://github.com/x/y/pull/N)` — markdown
   link whose URL points at a GH pull/issues/commit, with any link
   text (not just `[#N]`). The bare-URL regex stripped the URL but
   left empty `[text]()` brackets in the prose.

Two new regexes — _CLOSES_MD_RE / _REFS_MD_RE for the closes-style
markdown variants, _MD_GH_URL_RE for the descriptive-text variant —
run BEFORE the piece-wise regexes so composite patterns are stripped
whole rather than fragmented.

4 new unit tests cover both cases (single, multi-list, descriptive
text, see-with-markdown). Suite at 638 passing.

Good catch @sergiopaniego — both fall through the first-pass strip. Pushed 5cc71fa:

  • New _CLOSES_MD_RE / _REFS_MD_RE for Closes [#NN](url) / Fixes [#1](url), [#2](url) / See [#NN](url) — composite strip so the keyword doesn't get orphaned.
  • New _MD_GH_URL_RE for [descriptive text](https://github.com/x/y/pull/NN) (any link text) — composite strip so we don't leave empty [text]() brackets behind.

Composite regexes run BEFORE the piece-wise ones in _strip_info_leak. Added 4 unit tests in tests/test_pipeline_pr_diff.py:

  • `test_strips_closes_with_markdown_issue_link` — exact "Closes #1234" case
  • `test_strips_multi_closes_with_markdown_links` — list form
  • `test_strips_descriptive_markdown_gh_link` — your second example
  • `test_strips_see_with_markdown_issue_link` — See variant for completeness

Suite at 638 passing. Ready for another look.

The whole point of Repo2RLEnv is verifiable RL envs that LLMs can solve.
v0.8.1's pr_diff was text-only — instruction.md + solution/patch.diff,
nothing harbor-runnable. The reward was supposed to be computed by the
consumer externally. That fails the bar.

This change makes pr_diff produce a fully Harbor-runnable env where the
verifier IS the SWE-RL-style sequence-similarity score against the
oracle diff. Same reward function as repo2rlenv.reward (in fact, the
verifier's embedded Python is kept in lockstep with reward.py — pure
stdlib, ~30 lines).

New helpers in src/repo2rlenv/pipelines/pr_diff.py:
- `build_pr_diff_environment_dockerfile(repo_url, base_commit, oracle_diff)`
  - FROM python:3.12-slim + git
  - shallow clone of the repo @ base_commit
  - base64-bakes the oracle diff into /verifier/oracle.patch
  - no bootstrap LLM — ~30s build per task
- `build_pr_diff_eval_script(base_commit)`
  - captures git diff <base_commit> after the agent's edits
  - embeds the diff-similarity Python (base64) — needs only python3 + git
  - writes the score to /logs/verifier/reward.txt

`PRDiffOptions.emit_harbor_env: bool = True` default-on. Set False to
get the v0.8.1 text-only output (consumer computes reward).

End-to-end smoke on pallets/click PR #3508:
- harbor run -a oracle → reward 1.000 (28s)
- harbor run -a claude-code -m anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 → reward 0.710 (4m32s)

Both via harbor run on the emitted task as-is. The oracle case proves
the verifier is wired correctly; the Sonnet case proves the agent path
works end-to-end with a real partial-credit reward.

6 new unit tests on the Dockerfile + eval-script builders (base64
encoding, special-char patches, difflib in inline Python, reward.txt
path). 1 existing test updated to reflect the new instruction wording.
Suite at 644 passing.

Bigger change pushed: `34f4df4` — `pr_diff` now emits a fully Harbor-runnable env with a SWE-RL-style diff-similarity verifier.

You were right that text-only output failed the "verifiable RL env" bar. v0.8.1 just shipped `instruction.md` + `solution/patch.diff` and assumed the consumer would compute the reward externally. That's the SWE-RL training shape but not how `harbor run` expects tasks.

Now each task ships:

  • `environment/Dockerfile` — python:3.12-slim + git + repo @ base_commit + oracle diff baked in. No bootstrap LLM — ~30s build per cell.
  • `tests/test.sh` — `git diff <base_commit>` after the agent's edits, scored against the oracle by an embedded difflib.SequenceMatcher routine (kept in lockstep with reward.py).

End-to-end smoke on `pallets/click` PR #3508:

Adapter Reward Time
oracle 1.000 28 s
claude-code (Sonnet 4.6) 0.710 4 m 32 s

Gated by `PRDiffOptions.emit_harbor_env: bool = True` (default on; flip off for old text-only behavior).

Updated PR title + description.

Replace the single-scalar diff-similarity reward with the SWE-RL-paper-
style multi-component approach. Lifts pr_diff from "coarse training
signal" to "evaluable single-task env" while keeping the cheap/multi-
language property.

New module: src/repo2rlenv/pipelines/_pr_diff_verifier.py
  - Pure-stdlib in-container verifier (read at gen time, base64-baked
    into tests/test.sh, decoded back to a file at run time).
  - Reviewable + unit-testable as ordinary Python — no more opaque
    base64-blob diffs in test.sh.

6 components (sum = 1.0 default weights):
  format_valid     0.05   (predicted text parses as unified diff)
  size_sanity      0.05   (min(o_loc, p_loc) / max — rampage guard)
  file_targeting   0.10   (F1, NOT Jaccard — recall matters more
                          than punishing extras; explained in module)
  region_overlap   0.20   (predicted hunks overlap oracle hunks
                          with 5-line slack — strongest spatial signal)
  similarity       0.20   (SequenceMatcher over +/- lines ONLY —
                          fixes v0.8.1 context-credit inflation)
  llm_judge        0.40   (Haiku scores semantic correctness;
                          graceful degradation on API failure,
                          remaining weights re-normalize)

Verifier outputs reward.txt (single float, harbor reads this) AND
reward.json (full breakdown for downstream inspection / re-weighting).

Gen-time additions in pr_diff.py:
  - Quality filter: drops test-only / docs-only / revert / trivially-
    small diffs / instruction-too-thin candidates before emission.
  - Calibration baseline: empty-patch reward stamped in
    task.toml.metadata.reward_calibration.baseline_reward. Consumers
    compute calibrated = (raw - baseline) / (1 - baseline) for
    cross-task comparability.
  - Difficulty bucket: trivial/small/medium/large by oracle LOC.
  - PRDiffOptions.min_loc_changed: int = 3 (filter knob).

Dockerfile now pre-installs claude-code via npm at build time (apt + npm
layers cacheable across all pr_diff tasks). This makes harbor's
claude-code agent-setup robust at 25-parallel-container scale — no more
per-container curl-install flakiness.

End-to-end smoke on pallets/click PR #3508:
  - harbor run -a oracle: reward 1.000 (8s with cached layers)
  - harbor run -a claude-code -m claude-sonnet-4-6 --ve ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=$X:
    final 0.98 (5m), all 5 deterministic = 1.0, llm_judge = 0.95

Test coverage: 37 new tests in tests/test_pr_diff_verifier.py covering
each component, judge graceful degradation, weight redistribution.
Suite at 681 passing.
`git diff <base>` only sees TRACKED files. New files added by the
oracle patch (or the agent) are untracked and silently absent from
the predicted.patch, causing oracle runs to score < 1.0 for any PR
that introduces new files.

Found by the 25-env pilot: 3 of 13 oracle runs scored 0.4-0.79
instead of 1.0 — all 3 were PRs that added new files (gradio added
3 new files in a 4-file PR, scoring 0.40 instead of 1.0).

Fix: `git add -A; git diff --cached <base>` — `-A` stages all new
files so they appear in the predicted diff just like the oracle.

duplicated from _pr_diff_verifier._DEFAULT_WEIGHTS

Pilot at concurrency=25 (then 12) had 100% Sonnet failure with
AgentSetupTimeoutError after 360s. Root cause: harbor's claude-code
adapter runs `curl claude.ai/install.sh | bash` in EVERY container at
agent-setup time. N parallel ~80MB downloads saturate local bandwidth
and time out.

Fix: pre-install claude-code in the Dockerfile at BUILD time using the
same install.sh route harbor uses. Docker's content-addressable layer
cache means the install runs ONCE per image-build and is shared across
all per-task images (the install RUN line is identical between tasks).
When harbor's adapter re-runs the install script per-container, it
finds the binary already in /root/.local/bin and short-circuits the
network step.

Also drops the nodejs/npm route which was a dead end — harbor's
adapter only uses npm on Alpine images; on python:3.12-slim it always
uses curl install.sh regardless of pre-installed binaries.

Single-task smoke after the fix: 0.858 reward in 3m57s (was 4m56s
before the bake; same task, all 6 components fire including
llm_judge=0.92).
Sonnet pilot ran 23 tasks through the full env (oracle 21/21=1.000,
sonnet mean 0.634, range 0.16-0.98 = healthy eval distribution). Fed
the per-task component data to Sonnet for reward-engineering analysis;
its grounded recommendations are now the defaults.

Changes:
  format_valid    0.05 → 0.00   (was 1.0 on EVERY trial; pure dead weight)
  size_sanity     0.05 → 0.08   (useful outlier detector)
  file_targeting  0.10 → 0.12   (leading indicator, least correlated)
  region_overlap  0.20 → 0.20   (unchanged; strongest spatial signal)
  similarity      0.20 → 0.10   (~0.85 correlation with region_overlap;
                                 double-counts positional accuracy AND
                                 penalizes alternative implementations)
  llm_judge       0.40 → 0.50   (only semantic-independent signal;
                                 diverges informatively from text-based
                                 components on e.g. tokenizers/evaluate)
  TOTAL = 1.00

Also adds a catastrophic-size hard cap: if size_sanity < 0.10, the
final reward is clamped to ≤ 0.40. Prevents a charitable judge from
inflating the score on patches that are dramatically the wrong size
(prettier hit 0.011 — Sonnet wrote ~5 lines vs oracle's 500-line
release-notes dump; without the cap, judge=0.25 still pulled the
final to 0.23).

Two new tests pin the defaults — `_DEFAULT_WEIGHTS` must sum to 1.0,
format_valid must stay 0.0, similarity < region_overlap. Suite at 683
passing.
- docs/pipelines/pr_diff.md rewritten end-to-end:
  - Multi-component reward (6 components + LLM judge + catastrophic-size cap)
  - Calibration baseline + difficulty bucket metadata
  - Updated info-leak strip (8 pattern families)
  - New options table (emit_harbor_env, min_loc_changed)
  - New skip-reason list (test-only, docs-only, revert, diff-too-small, thin-instruction)
  - Consumer-side now uses harbor run with claude-code; LLM-judge env-var path documented
  - Reference dataset link placeholder (filled after HF push)

- docs/quickstart.md updated: pr_diff is now Harbor-runnable; show the full
  harbor run incantation for both oracle and Sonnet adapters.

- docs/pipelines/README.md table: pr_diff Sandbox column is now "thin¹" with
  footnote explaining the python:3.12-slim env + LLM-as-judge at verify time.

- README.md table mirrors the same.

Test counts left generic in docs per repo convention (specifics live in PR
bodies / release notes).
Dataset live at https://huggingface.co/datasets/AdithyaSK/repo2rlenv-pr-diff
- 100 verified environments
- 26 source repos (Tier A SWE-bench + Tier B HF ecosystem + Tier C multi-lang)
- All structurally validated (`repo2rlenv validate` passes for every task)

Augmented HF dataset card (src/repo2rlenv/hub.py:_build_dataset_card):
- Supports multi-repo datasets — renders "Source repos (N)" list when the
  push spans more than one source repo (was: single repo only).
- Detects whether tasks ship environment/Dockerfile and renders the
  harbor-runnable recipe (oracle + claude-code) accordingly.
- Adds "How it was generated" section with reproduction recipe.
- Adds the LLM-as-judge `--ve ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=$X` flag to the harbor-run
  example (was missing — verifier-side env wasn't documented).
- Tags include the pipeline name so collections can filter.

Registry-integration fast-path (src/repo2rlenv/registry/integration.py):
- When every task's Dockerfile FROM ref is publicly pullable (e.g.
  `python:3.12-slim` for pr_diff's self-contained Dockerfile), skip the
  image-distribution step entirely. Was: every dataset with
  environment/ tried to push an image to a container registry and
  failed for pr_diff (no bootstrap upstream image to push).

Docs:
- docs/pipelines/pr_diff.md gets the published HF URL.
- docs/release_notes/v0.8.3/findings-pr_diff.md rewritten with the 100-env
  numbers, the LLM-driven reward-weight retune story, and the 8-pattern
  info-leak strip.
@adithya-s-k adithya-s-k changed the title pr_diff: Harbor-runnable env with SWE-RL diff-similarity verifier pr_diff: Harbor-runnable env + 6-component reward + 100-env reference dataset May 26, 2026
Earlier commit (69d1631) baked claude-code into the task's
environment/Dockerfile via curl claude.ai/install.sh at build time.
That was wrong: the task spec is supposed to be agent-agnostic. The
Dockerfile defines the ENVIRONMENT the task runs in (repo, verifier,
tools) — it shouldn't pre-install a specific agent vendor's binary.

Consequences of the bake:
- ~80MB of claude-code in every image, even when the agent is
  openhands / codex / aider / etc.
- A specific Anthropic CLI on PATH could interfere with what other
  agents do (unlikely but possible).
- Cross-vendor contamination — the dataset implicitly assumes
  claude-code is the runner.

The original problem the bake was supposed to solve: at concurrency≥8,
N parallel `curl claude.ai/install.sh` calls during harbor's claude-code
agent-setup saturate local bandwidth and time out. Correct fixes:

1. Lower concurrency to ≤5 (harbor's own default is 4). Confirmed
   working in the latest smoke: 0.975 reward in 2m33s with no bake.
2. Use --max-retries 2 (already in run_pilot.py).
3. File an upstream harbor issue for install-script caching.

Single-task smoke after the revert: 0.975, 2m33s. The 100-env
reference dataset has been re-generated and re-pushed to HF Hub with
the clean Dockerfile.
Addresses sergiopaniego's PR #40 review: the no-op calibration helper
had a hand-copied weights dict that drifted out of sync with the
retune in _pr_diff_verifier._DEFAULT_WEIGHTS. Import the single source
of truth instead.

The duplicate was harmless in practice (format_valid('') = 0.0 makes
the baseline 0.0 with either weight set), but it's a latent footgun
the next time the weights change.
README + docs/pipelines/README:
- Expanded the pipelines table with a longer "What it produces" column
  and a per-pipeline "LLM use" classification (at synthesis / at
  bootstrap / at verify) — every pipeline calls an LLM somewhere, the
  table now makes the location explicit.
- docs/pipelines/README.md adds a "Reference dataset" column linking
  the published HF dataset for `pr_diff`, plus a Spotlight section
  that walks the task layout + 6-component reward + reproduction
  recipe inline.

Multi-agent examples:
- quickstart, pr_diff doc, and Spotlight now show claude-code AND
  openhands invocations side-by-side, with the full Harbor agent
  catalogue (25+ harnesses) inlined as a comment block. The contract
  is agent-agnostic — claude-code is what we used to verify the
  reference dataset, not a requirement.

findings-pr_diff: corrected the stale claim that we bake claude-code
into the Dockerfile (we don't anymore — Harbor's agent adapter
installs whatever runtime its agent needs at run time).
findings-pr_diff used to point at plans/v083_scripts/run_pilot.py for
the generation recipe, but plans/ is gitignored — those paths can't
be opened by anyone reading the PR. Rewrote the recipe in terms of
the public `repo2rlenv generate` CLI so the published dataset is
reproducible without internal tooling.

Also dropped the analyze_pilot.py mention in
_pr_diff_verifier.py's _DEFAULT_WEIGHTS comment — the rationale is
the point, not the specific script that produced it.

Addressed in 836c73f — the calibration helper now imports _DEFAULT_WEIGHTS from _pr_diff_verifier directly instead of hand-copying the values. The duplicate was harmless in practice (format_valid('') == 0.0 makes the baseline 0.0 with either weight set), but the next weight retune would have silently drifted.

Three correctness fixes flagged by an independent audit of PR #40:

1. Self-contained Dockerfile fast path was too broad. It skipped the
   image-push step for ANY non-local FROM ref, including private or
   unqualified images (my-bootstrap:latest, company/base:dev) that a
   consumer couldn't actually pull/rebuild. Narrowed to an explicit
   allowlist of known-public Docker Hub bases (python/node/golang/...).
   Anything else falls through to the normal push path, which surfaces
   a clear error rather than silently publishing a broken dataset.

2. The fast path left stale reproducibility metadata. The emitter seeds
   every Dockerfile task with mode=local_only, image_visibility=private;
   the fast path returned without rewriting it, so published pr_diff
   tasks advertised "private/local_only" despite being publicly
   rebuildable. Now rewrites each task.toml to mode=inline_dockerfile,
   image_visibility=public, with the Dockerfile sha256 stamped for
   traceability.

3. Private repos with emit_harbor_env=True silently produced envs that
   fail at consumer build time (the inlined `git clone` is
   unauthenticated). Now fails fast at run() with a clear message
   pointing at emit_harbor_env=False for text-only output.

Also: corrected the verifier module docstring (said "5-component" +
listed pre-retune weights) and removed four unused _NORMALIZE_RE_*
constants left over from an earlier normalization path.

Tests: +3 (public-base fast path rewrites metadata; non-allowlisted
image surfaces an error; private+emit_harbor_env fails fast). The
private e2e test now passes emit_harbor_env=False explicitly.
Replaces the wrong "private + emit_harbor_env → error" guard from the
previous commit. Private-repo support is a first-class goal of this
repo, and emit_harbor_env=True is the default for a reason — the env
is the whole point. Forbidding it for private sources defeats that.

The actual bug the audit caught was that the emitted Dockerfile cloned
over an unauthenticated URL, so private repos failed at consumer build
time. Fix: the Dockerfile now declares `ARG GITHUB_TOKEN=` (empty
default) and clones via an x-access-token URL when it's set, then
resets the remote to the clean URL so the token never persists in the
image's git config or any layer. Public repos need no arg.

Consumers building a private-repo task pass:
    harbor run ... --build-arg GITHUB_TOKEN=$GITHUB_TOKEN

This mirrors how bootstrap already handles private repos (host-side
clone with the resolved token, never embedded). Documented in
docs/reference/AUTH.md + docs/pipelines/pr_diff.md.
A compliance pass against the repo's own contract docs (SPEC.md,
CLAUDE.md, the pipeline pages) surfaced two divergences introduced by
the pr_diff upgrade:

1. reward_kinds emitted "diff_similarity_multi_component", which is not
   in SPEC.md's reward-kind set and disagreed with the README table.
   The reward IS a diff_similarity reward — the 6 components are how
   it's scored, surfaced in /logs/verifier/reward.json, not a separate
   kind. Emit the documented "diff_similarity"; describe the
   multi-component scoring in prose. Updated pr_diff.md to match.

2. Multiple docs + docstrings still called pr_diff "text-only / no
   sandbox", which is now only true of *generation*. The emitted task
   runs in Docker by default. Reconciled the prose in SPEC.md,
   CLAUDE.md, the pr_diff.py module + class docstrings, and the
   harbor emitter docstring to distinguish sandbox-free generation
   from Docker-runnable consumption.

No behavior change — verifier scoring + emitted files are unchanged;
this aligns metadata + documentation with the spec.
