# Batch Evaluation Reference

`tools/run_batch.py` is the convenience wrapper for running a materialized task
selection with Pier. It does not build task images. It reads the immutable
environment and verifier references from each `task.toml`, pulls those images
for `linux/amd64`, writes a redacted run record, and invokes Pier with
`--no-force-build --no-delete --yes`.

## Prerequisites

From a downloaded release directory:

~~~bash
uv tool install "datacurve-pier==0.3.0"
docker login
python3 tools/materialize.py \
  --task-id 002,005-007 \
  --output tasks-selected-small --force
~~~

The `--path` passed to `run_batch.py` must be a materialized directory containing
`task_NNN/task.toml` directories. The runner never selects tasks implicitly and
never reads task definitions from GitHub at runtime.

## Provider Profiles

Use an env file outside the checkout. The parser accepts `KEY=value`, optional
`export KEY=value`, comments, and quoted values. It never prints credential
values or writes them to `batch-run.json`.

### Codex and OpenAI-compatible gateways

`run_batch.py` translates the following fields into Pier's Codex provider
configuration when `--agent codex` is used:

| Variable | Required | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `MODEL` | No | Exact model route sent to the gateway; default `gpt-5` |
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | Yes for a real run | Gateway credential |
| `CODEX_BASE_URL` | No | OpenAI-compatible gateway URL; defaults to `https://api.openai.com/v1` |
| `CODEX_WIRE_API` | No | `responses` or `chat`; defaults to `responses` |
| `CODEX_VERSION` | No | Codex runtime version passed to Pier |
| `CODEX_REASONING_EFFORT` | No | Reasoning effort passed to the Codex adapter |

Example:

~~~dotenv
MODEL=gpt-5
OPENAI_API_KEY=replace-with-your-key
CODEX_BASE_URL=https://gateway.example.edu/v1
CODEX_WIRE_API=responses
CODEX_VERSION=latest
CODEX_REASONING_EFFORT=high
~~~

`CODEX_BASE_URL` selects the model gateway. It is different from a network
proxy. A network proxy is configured with standard `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`,
and `NO_PROXY` variables. For Docker Desktop, a proxy running on the host is
usually reached from a container as `host.docker.internal`, not `127.0.0.1`.

### Claude Code and mini-swe-agent

These harnesses receive their provider variables through Pier's `--env-file`:

~~~dotenv
# Claude Code
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=replace-with-your-gateway-key
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.anthropic.com
ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS=
~~~

~~~dotenv
# mini-swe-agent with an OpenAI-compatible provider
OPENAI_API_KEY=replace-with-your-gateway-key
OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://gateway.example.edu/v1
~~~

The model route is selected with the repeatable `--model` option. Provider
variables not listed here can be added to the env file and are passed through to
the selected harness by Pier.

## Basic Commands

Run a no-model infrastructure smoke:

~~~bash
python3 tools/run_batch.py \
  --path tasks-selected-small \
  --agent nop \
  --n-concurrent 1 \
  --n-attempts 1 \
  --jobs-dir jobs \
  --job-name smoke
~~~

Run Codex through a gateway:

~~~bash
python3 tools/run_batch.py \
  --path tasks-selected-small \
  --agent codex \
  --env-file ~/.config/swe-bench-science/codex.env \
  --n-concurrent 2 \
  --n-attempts 1 \
  --max-retries 1 \
  --jobs-dir jobs \
  --job-name codex-small
~~~

Run Claude Code or mini-swe-agent:

~~~bash
python3 tools/run_batch.py \
  --path tasks-selected-small \
  --agent claude-code \
  --env-file ~/.config/swe-bench-science/claude.env \
  --model anthropic/claude-opus-4-7 \
  --n-concurrent 1 \
  --jobs-dir jobs \
  --job-name claude-small
~~~

For an approximately 120-second agent-stage smoke, add
`--agent-timeout-multiplier 0.0223`. This does not shorten the verifier timeout
or any native build timeout.

## Patch and Verifier Boundary

Each materialized task contains a Pier `pre_artifacts.sh` hook. Pier runs this
hook after the agent exits and before it collects artifacts. The hook computes
`artifacts/model.patch` against the task image's original baseline root commit,
so an agent-created commit is still included in the patch. A clean or timed-out
agent produces an explicit empty patch rather than a missing artifact.

For tasks with a separate verifier image, the verifier entrypoint applies that
patch to its clean task workspace before running public and private tests. The
verifier result therefore evaluates the agent workspace, not the untouched
baseline. A missing `pre_artifacts.sh` is rejected by `run_batch.py`; rerun
`materialize.py` with the current tools to regenerate the task selection.

Private-test collection is directory-based. The verifier runs pytest on
`/tests/private_tests`, so task authors may use names such as
`test_res_export.py` or `test_scientific_invariants.py`; no
`test_task_NNN.py` filename is required. The task's Compose override mounts the
bundle's dynamic grader into an existing prebuilt verifier image, so correcting
test discovery does not require rebuilding the image.

## Option Reference

| Option | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `--path` | required | Materialized task directory |
| `--agent` | `nop` | Pier harness, such as `codex`, `claude-code`, `mini-swe-agent`, or `nop` |
| `--env` | `docker` | Pier environment backend |
| `--env-file` | unset | Provider/harness env file |
| `--model` | unset | Model route; repeat for multiple Pier model arguments |
| `--agent-env KEY=VALUE` | repeatable | Extra environment value passed to the harness |
| `--agent-kwarg KEY=VALUE` | repeatable | Extra Pier agent keyword; useful for adapter-specific settings |
| `--n-concurrent` | `1` | Number of simultaneous tasks |
| `--n-attempts` | `1` | Attempts per task |
| `--max-retries` | `0` | Pier retries after an attempt-level failure |
| `--agent-timeout-multiplier` | Pier default | Multiplier for the agent stage timeout |
| `--verifier-timeout-multiplier` | Pier default | Multiplier for verifier/build timeout |
| `--jobs-dir` | `jobs` | Directory for Pier jobs and summaries |
| `--job-name` | unset | Stable job name used in result paths |
| `--platform` | `linux/amd64` | Docker pull and derived Pier image platform |
| `--pier-bin` | `pier` | Pier executable or absolute path |
| `--skip-pull` | off | Skip Docker pulls when immutable refs are already local |
| `--no-auto-provider` | off | Do not translate `CODEX_*` profile values into Codex kwargs |
| `--no-auto-agent-adapter` | off | Use Pier's built-in Codex agent instead of the Science Bench adapter |
| `--agent-import-path` | unset | Explicit Pier agent import path |
| `--dry-run` | off | Pull/validate images and write metadata, but do not invoke Pier |

The wrapper always records the selected task IDs, selection hash, image refs,
platform, Pier version, agent/model settings, and a redacted Pier command in
`<path>/batch-run.json`.

## Results

Pier writes its job output under the selected jobs directory. The wrapper then
generates:

~~~text
jobs/<job-name>/result.json
jobs/<job-name>/summary.json
jobs/<job-name>/summary.csv
jobs/<job-name>/<task>__<trial>/verifier/reward.json
jobs/<job-name>/<task>__<trial>/verifier/ctrf.json
jobs/<job-name>/<task>__<trial>/verifier/test-stdout.txt
~~~

The summary CSV is the convenient per-task result table. Use `pier view jobs`
for trajectories and inspect `result.json`, `reward.json`, and
`test-stdout.txt` together when diagnosing a failure.

## Common Variants

Pull nothing and inspect the fully rendered command:

~~~bash
python3 tools/run_batch.py \
  --path tasks-selected-small \
  --agent codex \
  --env-file ~/.config/swe-bench-science/codex.env \
  --skip-pull \
  --dry-run
~~~

Run the 91-task science-knowledge ablation selection after materialization:

~~~bash
python3 tools/materialize.py \
  --task-id 002-082,084,086,090,097-101,111,114 \
  --allow-restricted-licenses \
  --output tasks-science-knowledge-ablation --force

python3 tools/run_batch.py \
  --path tasks-science-knowledge-ablation \
  --agent codex \
  --env-file ~/.config/swe-bench-science/codex.env \
  --n-concurrent 4 \
  --jobs-dir jobs \
  --job-name codex-science-ablation
~~~
