"""
Evaluator for K-Module Pipeline Configuration Problem

This evaluator scores pipeline configurations based on how many modules
match the target configuration. The key property is that there's NO
gradient information - you only know the count of correct modules,
not WHICH ones are correct.

This creates a challenging landscape for iterative refinement but
allows evolutionary crossover to combine good "building blocks"
from different individuals.

Set RICH_FEEDBACK=1 to enable rich feedback mode, which tells you
exactly which modules are correct/incorrect. This demonstrates that
iterative refinement works well when feedback is attributable.
