| # Closed result format for any-language drivers |
|
|
| A trusted evaluation driver can produce these JSON files without implementing |
| Python `Policy`, using our SDK, or routing model requests through a central proxy. |
| The driver must still use the [benchmark service protocol](../benchmarks/simBenchmarks/SERVER_PROTOCOL.md): |
| claims, native execution, scoring and no-replay rules are unchanged. Model actors |
| must not receive the administrative client or private scoring data. |
|
|
| This is the existing `starvla-rsi.eval/v1` client-run contract, with optional |
| method and recording declarations. A conforming file is a **reported result**, |
| not independent proof of native execution or model/provider identity. The basic |
| exporter checks closed-record consistency; full integrity audits are separate. |
|
|
| ## Files |
|
|
| ```text |
| closed-run/ |
| ├── manifest.json |
| ├── status.json |
| ├── summary.json |
| ├── episodes.jsonl |
| └── episodes/ |
| └── task-a-seed7/ |
| └── result.json |
| ``` |
|
|
| Each line of `episodes.jsonl` is one complete episode result object, in selected |
| schedule order. Each must have an identical object in exactly one |
| `episodes/<directory>/result.json`; matching uses `episode.id`, not the directory |
| name. Use safe descriptive directory names. Symlinked source files are rejected. |
|
|
| Interaction events, model/tool transcripts, videos, source snapshots and hashes |
| are **not required** for basic result export. Disabling them does not reduce |
| publication eligibility. Extra private files are neither scanned nor copied. |
|
|
| ## Manifest |
|
|
| Required fields and their meanings: |
|
|
| | Field | Value | |
| | --- | --- | |
| | `schema_version` | `starvla-rsi.eval/v1` | |
| | `run_id` | Nonempty run identity, also used by the summary | |
| | `benchmark` | `name`, `version`, `protocol_version`, `source_revision`; copy recorded service declarations, do not infer from today's checkout | |
| | `policy` | At least a declared `name`; legacy `kind`, `model`, `provider`, `version` may also be present | |
| | `action_spec` | Service-declared `mode`, positive `size`, `names`, optional `low`/`high`, `control_hz`, `frame`, `rotation`, `gripper` | |
| | `observation_spec` | Service-declared `cameras`, `state_names`, `modalities`, `privileged: false`, optional `control_feedback_schema` | |
| | `protocol` | Selected `episode_ids`, positive `max_steps`, `max_policy_calls` (positive integer or null), `replan_interval` (positive integer or null), `fail_fast` (boolean); retain actual budget/track declarations | |
|
|
| Optional public method declaration: |
|
|
| ```json |
| { |
| "method": { |
| "schema_version": "starvla-rsi.method/v1", |
| "id": "my-planner-reviewer", |
| "version": "v1", |
| "models": [ |
| {"id": "planner", "role": "planning", "provider": null, "model": null, "version": null}, |
| {"id": "reviewer", "role": "action review", "provider": null, "model": null, "version": null} |
| ], |
| "configuration": {"memory": "rolling", "parallel": false} |
| }, |
| "method_origin": "participant_declaration" |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| These fields belong inside `manifest.json`. Component IDs are unique ASCII |
| letters/digits/dot/underscore/dash, beginning with a letter or digit. Unknown |
| provider/model/version stays null; unknown composition can be an empty list. |
| Configuration is bounded, explicitly **public JSON**, not a dump of runtime |
| settings. Do not include credentials, private paths or sensitive prompt content. |
| Credential-named fields and absolute paths are rejected, but validation is not |
| general secret detection: review before publication. |
|
|
| The reference runner projects old `PolicyDescriptor` identity when no method |
| file is supplied, using `method_origin: legacy_policy_projection`. Arbitrary |
| legacy parameters are not copied. The report labels that configuration as not |
| supplied, rather than claiming an empty object is a complete method definition. |
|
|
| For multi-call method accounting, the reference runner records |
| `protocol.usage_accounting_version: starvla-rsi.method-usage/v1`. This separates |
| robot decision-loop calls from model inference requests; it does not change a |
| benchmark's native execution budget. |
|
|
| ## Episode result |
|
|
| One synthetic example, with no inference usage claimed: |
|
|
| ```json |
| { |
| "schema_version": "starvla-rsi.eval/v1", |
| "episode": {"id": "task-a/seed7", "task": "task-a", "seed": 7, |
| "instruction": "Perform the declared task.", "metadata": {}}, |
| "status": "completed", |
| "success": false, |
| "termination_reason": "environment:truncated", |
| "policy_calls": 2, |
| "action_decisions": 2, |
| "environment_steps": 10, |
| "rejected_actions": 0, |
| "duration_s": 3.5, |
| "reward_sum": 0.0, |
| "usage": {"calls": null, "input_tokens": null, "output_tokens": null, |
| "cached_input_tokens": null, "estimated_cost_usd": null, "latency_s": null}, |
| "metrics": {"success": false, "score": 40}, |
| "artifacts": {}, |
| "error": null |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| `completed` means an ordinary native outcome or policy stop, not success. Its |
| `success` must be boolean and match `metrics.success`. An errored episode uses |
| `status: error`, `success: null`, and an error object with a nonempty `type` plus |
| `category` equal to `policy`, `protocol`, `infrastructure` or `evaluation`. |
| The report omits error messages/tracebacks, arbitrary metrics, metadata and paths. |
| Never turn an infrastructure interruption into a completed task failure. |
|
|
| Counts are distinct: `policy_calls` counts driver decision calls; |
| `action_decisions` counts decisions with at least one acknowledged control; |
| `environment_steps` counts acknowledged native controls. `usage.calls` instead |
| counts reported inference requests and may exceed `policy_calls`. |
| The example's two decisions and ten controls illustrate a possible method-selected |
| chunk schedule, not a five-controls-per-decision requirement. Native physics |
| ticks are not added to `environment_steps`, and an unacknowledged in-flight |
| control must not be silently counted as either a confirmed action or zero motion. |
| Unknown usage fields remain null. Failed calls retain known accounting; do not |
| infer cost, tokens or component identity from missing evidence. |
|
|
| Optional `component_usage` maps declared model component IDs to the same six |
| usage fields. Missing components/fields are unknown, never zero or a share of |
| aggregate usage. The reference runner sums per-field values with unknown |
| propagation. `latency_s` is reported usage latency, while `duration_s` is episode |
| wall time; parallel models can have different latency and wall-time totals. |
|
|
| Optional `recording` uses the reference settings: |
|
|
| ```json |
| {"schema_version":"starvla-rsi.recording/v2","mode":"minimal", |
| "interactions":false,"model_io":false,"tool_traces":false, |
| "images":false,"videos":false,"copy_server_media":false} |
| ``` |
|
|
| The manifest declares requested settings; each episode can additionally declare |
| `agent_events_written` and bounded warning codes. A setting being enabled does |
| not prove every provider exposed a transcript. See [recording options](recording.md). |
|
|
| ## Closure and summary |
|
|
| `status.json` contains `status` (`completed` or `completed_with_errors`) and |
| `episodes_written`. All selected episodes must be present unless the declared |
| `fail_fast` setting stopped after an errored episode. Unattempted cases stay in |
| the manifest schedule and the report denominator; they are never silently |
| deleted or retried. |
|
|
| `summary.json` repeats `run_id`, `benchmark` (name), `policy` (name), and totals |
| for `attempted`, `completed`, `errors`, `successes`, `policy_calls`, |
| `rejected_actions`, and the six-field aggregate `usage` object. Optional |
| `component_usage` must agree with episode totals. Unknown propagates when |
| summing usage. When both are known, cached input tokens cannot exceed input |
| tokens. Optional `success_rate`, `attempt_success_rate`, `selected_success_rate` |
| and `completion_rate` must agree with the recorded counts; boolean rates are invalid. |
|
|
| The basic report prominently shows **successes / selected cases** |
| (`selected_success_rate`), retaining errors and unattempted selected cases in |
| that denominator. It also provides successes/completed (`success_rate`), |
| successes/attempted (`attempt_success_rate`) and explicit denominator labels. |
| For example, one success followed by one infrastructure error and one |
| fail-fast-unattempted case is 1/3 over selected, 1/2 over attempted and 1/1 over |
| completed—not an unqualified 100% result. None establishes that a client-selected |
| schedule covers the entire native benchmark. |
|
|
| ## Export |
|
|
| ```sh |
| python -B -m benchkit.reports.basic_result \ |
| --run-dir /absolute/closed-run \ |
| --output-dir AgentPolicies/my_method/results/my_benchmark/reports/my-run \ |
| --metric score |
| ``` |
|
|
| The destination must be new and outside the source run. The exporter writes |
| `result.json` and standalone `index.html`, without changing source files or |
| calling a model/simulator. Repeat `--metric KEY` to explicitly include additional |
| native numeric/boolean metrics; missing metrics are null. It does not select |
| arbitrary nested metric objects or copy media automatically. This publication |
| choice does not make private metrics available to the acting model. |
|
|
| Inputs reject duplicate JSON keys and nonfinite numbers, are bounded to 10,000 |
| episodes and 128 MiB of files read, and are checked for changes during export. |
| The optional [interaction viewer](../benchkit/reports/interaction_history.py) |
| adds a timeline when compatible detailed events exist. Its absence does not |
| prevent the basic result above. |
