Add the maintainer-facing command that runs one chosen benchmark cell on
demand, so only the token budget available at that moment is spent.
runCells (bench/run-loop.ts) runs one (arm, task) cell for a batch of
trials — defaulting to five with a reporting floor of three — by driving
the existing single-cell runner and the append-only sample store rather
than reimplementing orchestration. Re-running a cell deepens it: trial
numbering continues past the highest trial the cell already holds and the
new samples append, so a cell's sample size grows across sittings without
overwriting prior runs.
bench/run.ts is the command: parseRunArgs is the pure, unit-tested
argument seam, and runBenchCommand is the live boundary that resolves host
access, resolves the scored suite against the host's self-review support,
selects the task, and drives the run loop. It is invoked via the new
bench:run npm script, run under tsx (a new devDependency) because the
harness's .js-specifier imports need a TypeScript-aware runner. The Claude
Agent SDK is now declared as an optional peerDependency — documented but
neither installed for package consumers nor pulled into CI.
Every arm runs on the driver's single fixed model; the command exposes no
per-cell model override that could break cross-arm comparability. The
default store root bench/results/ is gitignored.
Add the full 20-task scored suite and the capability-asymmetric bonus
definitions, plus the self-review capability probe that resolves the two
review tasks.
buildScoredSuite returns the shared-surface tasks weighted four read /
six single-mutation / six find-then-act / four multi-step, each a
natural-language intent parametrized against the seed and carrying a tier
and a scoring spec keyed on the single user. The two find-then-act review
tasks are approve/request-changes when the host permits self-review and
comment reviews otherwise; buildBonusTasks emits the approve/request-changes
operations as bonus entries in the fallback case, alongside the static
both-direction bonus definitions (gitea-axi's search/diff/checks/checkout/
issue-dependency edges, and the not-applicable repository/release/milestone
operations).
self-review.ts adds probeSelfReview and detectSelfReviewSupport, the live
boundary that determines self-review support once per sweep; it reuses the
now-exported non-throwing request helper from seed.ts.
Thread every benchmark layer to run one (arm, task, trial) cell end to
end: provision and seed a throwaway repository, run the agent under the
active arm bounded by a turn cap and a wall-clock backstop, audit the
transcript, capture and score the post-run state, append the sample, and
delete the repository.
- runner.ts: runCell orchestration behind the BenchHost and AgentDriver
seams, so the flow is unit-tested with fakes while the live wiring is
validated by a smoke run; turn-cap and wall-clock failures are tagged
confused-versus-hung, and a leaked transcript is flagged invalid.
- audit.ts: the post-run transcript audit plus the shared
foreignToolReason predicate both isolation enforcement points consume.
- task.ts: the runnable BenchTask wrapper and one sample single-mutation
task exercising the full path.
- snapshot.ts: captureRepoState, the seed's read-back counterpart, in the
RepoState shape the checker diffs against.
- host.ts / sdk-driver.ts: the live BenchHost and the Claude Agent SDK
driver (an optional peer, loaded via dynamic import) for real runs.
- runner.smoke.test.ts: the live tracer-bullet tier, skipping cleanly
when no host or SDK is configured.
Add bench/arm.ts, the per-arm scaffolding that produces the single arm
definition the runner consumes. Every arm shares an identical task-agnostic
base prompt and the same repository coordinates and token; each arm then
receives a minimal, symmetric bootstrap.
The deliberate asymmetries follow the shipped products: the gitea-axi arm
embeds the bundled Agent Skill (its body, charging its ambient cost to
gitea-axi); the tea and raw-api arms get a one-line native-discovery pointer;
the gitea-mcp arm runs with the shell disabled and only the MCP server
attached, its dispatcher schemas loading eagerly. Shell arms' PATH and guard
come from bench/guard.ts.
Add the deterministic, idempotent seed that brings a freshly provisioned
throwaway repository to a known ground truth before a trial runs, scripted
over the live Gitea API.
- bench/seed-plan.ts: the pure ground truth (fixed labels, an issue spread
across the discriminating dimensions, and labelled/reviewed/real-branch
pull requests) plus groundTruth(user), realizing it into a RepoState.
- bench/seed.ts: idempotent seeding reconciled by natural key, reusing
gitea-axi's own tea-login credential discovery (no new secret handling).
- A live smoke tier (test:bench:smoke) validating the seed end-to-end and
skipping cleanly when no host is configured, kept out of the deterministic
bench tier.
Export selectLogin from src/context.ts so the bench reuses the exact
credential-selection path.
Add the guard that confines each benchmark arm's agent to exactly one
tool, so a result measures the tool rather than the agent's choice
between tools.
`guardCommand` inspects every binary a proposed shell command would
reach — across pipelines, sequences, subshells, command and process
substitutions, redirections, and leading environment assignments — and
permits only the active arm's one allow-listed binary plus a curated set
of harmless read-only utilities. Foreign binaries, absolute-path
evasions (even of the arm's own binary), and interpreter-based fetch
tricks are denied; the gitea-mcp arm runs with the shell disabled
entirely. `provisionArmBin` produces a curated per-arm bin directory
exposing only that arm's binary as the convenience layer behind the
authoritative guard.
Tests are colocated in bench/guard.test.ts and run via `npm run
test:bench`.
Lay the foundation the benchmark harness reads and writes: a bench/
directory (excluded from the published npm package), the immutable
result-record shape, and an append-only per-cell sample store.
- bench/result.ts: the ResultRecord shape — four token components,
turns, duration, imputed cost, tagged pass/fail outcome, and the
arm/task/tier/trial/timestamp tags. Arm and Tier are typed unions.
- bench/store.ts: append-only sample store, one JSONL file per cell at
<root>/<arm>/<taskId>.jsonl; deepening a cell only ever adds samples.
- bench/README.md: harness working docs and benchmark vocabulary, kept
out of the tool's domain glossary per the spec.
- Dedicated bench test tier (vitest.bench.config.ts, npm run test:bench)
kept out of the fast tier; tsconfig typechecks bench.
- Packaging tier asserts bench/ never ships in the tarball.
