From 0ddf468a82181db3b4a14f5bd9d4ca6aacd0f53a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Azayzel Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 15:31:13 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat: add evidence-backed recommendations and isolated checks Add bounded evidence resolution, confidence-aware decisions, optional Docker-isolated Node checks, and consistent reporting and persistence.

Container isolation is not a guarantee against deliberately hostile code, and code sharing a process with a checker can attempt to interfere with tests. Use a disposable Docker environment for adversarial outputs; review checkers and avoid secrets in them. Results in imported JSON are user-supplied records, not signed attestations. No generated code is ever silently run on the host as a fallback. + +Start with 10-20 sanitized tasks from the work you actually do, including typical requests, edge cases, and cases where the correct answer is to report missing information. For example: + +| Task family | Independent correctness check | +| --- | --- | +| Implement a small API | Unit tests for its contract, including invalid input | +| Fix a bug | Reproduction test plus existing regression tests | +| Extract structured data | JSON parsing, schema validation, and exact expected values | +| Answer from supplied documents | Expected facts and source references; human review where ambiguous | +| Investigate an incident | Known observations, allowed actions, and explicit unknowns | + +1. Define the expected behavior and tests **before** generating responses. Keep several tasks held out while tuning prompts; do not rewrite expectations to favor the latest output. +2. Save an experiment JSON for each task. Freeze its input, evidence, and acceptance criteria. For a model comparison, change only the model; for a prompt comparison, keep the model/settings fixed and change only the instructions. +3. Import each task, run the same number of paired repetitions, and save/export every attempt. Keep execution mode, timeout, model versions when available, and evaluator consistent. Use shared evidence rather than live MCP responses to isolate the change being tested. +4. Validate **each** response independently. For coding, the [scheduler demo](../examples/async-scheduler-demo.md#check-the-actual-code) already has an executable checker with 11 cases. Review generated code first; run untrusted code only in an externally isolated, disposable environment with no secrets and an enforced process timeout. CompareLab does not provide that isolation. +5. Record a row per task and attempt: baseline pass/fail, candidate pass/fail, failed checks, generation errors/timeouts, latency, and usage. Keep execution failures in the planned-attempt denominator rather than dropping or selectively retrying them. Report task-family results too, so many easy tasks cannot hide a critical regression. +6. Compare **tasks passing their required checks**, not the number of assertions passed. A task with 100 easy assertions should not outweigh a task with one critical requirement. Use model-judge feedback for qualitative differences, not to override failed correctness checks. + +For example, predeclare: "All critical tasks must pass; no regression on the held-out tasks; compare cost and latency only among acceptable variants." The appropriate thresholds depend on your workload. A small repeated suite is a regression signal, not statistical proof of general model superiority. + +Until batch execution and external-check ingestion exist, keep this results table alongside the exported comparisons; do not assume CompareLab's **Preferred** label incorporates external tests. + ## Current capabilities - Optional cited Copilot evaluation and fresh Copilot Chat draft handoff (unreleased additions). @@ -344,7 +411,7 @@ Optional top-level `evidence` contains the source snapshot and `review.checkOrde - Verdict-first reports, readable triage responses, order-bias checking, and missing-evidence abstention. - Two-variant word-level inline diff (large inputs use a coarse replacement fallback). - Per-side manual entry or opt-in non-streaming Ollama/OpenAI-compatible model runs. -- Deterministic required-phrase checks and descriptive comparability warnings. +- Deterministic required-phrase acceptance gates and descriptive comparability warnings. - JSON import/export, Markdown reports, standalone CLI and Node built-in tests. - API keys in VS Code SecretStorage; no account, backend, or hosted telemetry. diff --git a/examples/async-scheduler-demo.md b/examples/async-scheduler-demo.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8ae8ca4 --- /dev/null +++ b/examples/async-scheduler-demo.md @@ -0,0 +1,63 @@ +# Hard coding demo: cancellable async scheduler + +Compare two models on a small API with difficult concurrency semantics. +Unlike the Pokemon demo, this needs **no MCP server**: both models get the +same precise contract, and you check their code separately. + +## Run the comparison + +1.

Export it as module.exports = { runTasks } from one .cjs file. No dependencies, network, file access, timers, eval, or code execution APIs.\n\nVALIDATION: tasks must be a dense Array of functions. options, if supplied, must be a non-null, non-array object. concurrency must be a positive safe integer; do not coerce strings. signal, if supplied, must be an AbortSignal from the current realm. Reject invalid input with TypeError through the returned Promise, never a synchronous throw. Validate all input before invoking any task, even with an already-aborted signal or an empty array. Do not mutate tasks or options.\n\nSCHEDULING: Invoke tasks in ascending index order, each at most once, as task(signal). With no signal, pass undefined. Keep at most concurrency unsettled tasks active. Fill available slots without waiting for slower active tasks; a serial implementation is invalid when concurrency > 1. A task can return a plain value, a promise, or a thenable, or throw synchronously. Assimilate thenables using normal Promise semantics, including a throwing then getter. Ordinary failures must not stop other tasks.\n\nRESULTS: Resolve an array in INPUT order with exactly one entry per task: { status: 'fulfilled', value } or { status: 'rejected', reason }. Preserve value and reason identity. Task failures do not reject the outer promise. The outer promise settles only after every started task settles. Empty valid input resolves [].\n\nCANCELLATION: Never start another task after signal.aborted becomes true, including when a running task calls abort() synchronously. Every task not yet started gets { status: 'rejected', reason: signal.reason }. Already-started tasks retain their actual outcomes; pass them the original signal so they may cooperate. Aborting does NOT settle the outer promise early, forcibly cancel active work, or replace a completed result. If a started task ignores abort and never settles, the outer promise remains pending. Already-aborted input invokes no tasks.
