phase-6: 50-problem pool, baseline rollout harness for HF Jobs
76f5670
"""Phase 6 baseline rollout — runs INSIDE an HF Jobs container.
Drives an UNTRAINED ``Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B`` against the deployed
Shutdown-Gym Space and records per-episode metrics to a CSV.
The numbers gate Phase 7's training plan per PROJECT.md §20.2.
Usage (inside an HF Jobs container)::
python evaluation/baseline_rollout.py \\
--env-url https://arun-sanjay-redbutton.hf.space \\
--model Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B \\
--n-episodes 50 \\
--tier 2 \\
--output /tmp/baseline_qwen3_train_op.csv \\
--operator-mode train
The script is intentionally HF-Jobs-only — it imports ``torch`` and
``transformers`` inside ``main()``, not at module top, so the parser
helpers can be unit-tested locally without those heavy deps.
Round-1 lessons baked in:
* Tool-call parser uses a balanced-brace walker (NOT a non-greedy
regex) — ``r"\\{.*?\\}"`` matches the inner ``{"path": ...}``
rather than the outer ``{"tool_name": ..., "arguments": {...}}``.
* ``apply_chat_template`` returns a ``BatchEncoding`` in
transformers 5.x; passing it via ``**inputs`` to ``model.generate``
avoids the ``inputs.shape`` ``AttributeError``.
