+# Inference Script & Grader Validation for Judging
+
+## Overview
+The `inference.py` script is designed to validate agent performance using task-specific graders during the judging process. This document confirms all components are properly configured.
+
+## Grader Score Output Format
+
+### [END] Line Format (REQUIRED FOR JUDGING)
+```
+[END] success=<true|false> steps=<n> score=<score> rewards=<r1,r2,...,rn>
+```
+
+**Example Output:**
+```
+[START] task=basic_ram_reduction env=energy_optimization model=Qwen/Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct
+[STEP] step=1 action=reduce_ram(0.5) reward=0.08 done=false error=null
+[STEP] step=2 action=optimize_energy(0.7) reward=0.07 done=false error=null
+[STEP] step=3 action=balance_resources(0.6) reward=0.56 done=true error=null
+[END] success=true steps=3 score=0.940 rewards=0.08,0.07,0.56
+```
+
+## Key Components for Judging
+
+### 1. ✅ Task-Specific Graders in inference.py
+All 5 graders are **defined and embedded** in inference.py:
+- `task_1_basic_ram_reduction_grader()` - Lines 233-254
+- `task_2_energy_optimization_grader()` - Lines 255-279
+- `task_3_balanced_optimization_grader()` - Lines 280-303
+- `task_4_advanced_efficiency_grader()` - Lines 304-327
+- `task_5_expert_optimization_grader()` - Lines 328-351
+
+### 2. ✅ TASK_GRADERS Registry
+The `TASK_GRADERS` dictionary (Lines 353-414) maps each task to its grader function:
+```python
+TASK_GRADERS: Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]] = {
+    "basic_ram_reduction": {
+        "grader": task_1_basic_ram_reduction_grader,
+        "name": "basic_ram_reduction",
+        "difficulty": 1,
+        "target_ram": 70.0,
+        "target_energy": 7.5,
+        ...
+    },
+    ...  # 4 more tasks
+}
+```
+
+### 3. ✅ Grader Score Calculation (SINGLE_TASK Mode)
+In `run_single_task_mode()` function (Lines 699-746):
+
+```python
+# Apply task-specific grader
+grader_func = get_grader(TASK_NAME)  # Line 710
+grader_score = grader_func(result.observation)  # Line 711
+score = grader_score  # Line 718
+
+# The score is logged in [END] line via log_end()
+log_end(success=success, steps=steps_taken, score=score, rewards=rewards)  # Line 746
+```
+
+**Score Range:** 0.001 - 0.999 (automatically clamped)
+
+### 4. ✅ SUCCESS Determination
+```python
+SUCCESS_SCORE_THRESHOLD = 0.5  # Line 499
+success = score >= SUCCESS_SCORE_THRESHOLD  # Line 729
+```
+
+Agent succeeds if `grader_score >= 0.5`
+
+### 5. ✅ Log Output Functions
+
+#### log_start()
+```python
+print(f"[START] task={task} env={env} model={model}", flush=True)
+```
+
+#### log_step()
+```python
+print(f"[STEP] step={step} action={action} reward={reward:.2f} done={done_val} error={error_val}", flush=True)
+```
+
+#### log_end() - **JUDGING SCORE**
+```python
+rewards_str = ",".join(f"{r:.2f}" for r in rewards)
+print(f"[END] success={str(success).lower()} steps={steps} score={score:.3f} rewards={rewards_str}", flush=True)
+```
+
+**CRITICAL FOR JUDGES:**
+- `score`: The **final grader score** (0.001-0.999 range)
+- `success`: Whether task passed (score >= 0.5)
+- `rewards`: Individual step rewards for analysis
+
+## Grader Behavior Verification
+
+### Score Ranges by Task
+| Task | Min RAM | Max RAM | Min Energy | Max Energy | Score @Target | Score Above |
+|------|---------|---------|-----------|-----------|---------------|------------|
+| Task 1 | 70% | 80% | 7.5kWh | 8.0kWh | 0.999 | 0.999+ |
+| Task 2 | 75% | 85% | 6.0kWh | 7.0kWh | 0.999 | 0.999+ |
+| Task 3 | 60% | 70% | 5.0kWh | 6.0kWh | 0.900 | 0.925+ |
+| Task 4 | 50% | 60% | 4.0kWh | 5.0kWh | 0.900 | 0.920+ |
+| Task 5 | 40% | 50% | 3.0kWh | 4.0kWh | 0.900 | 0.917+ |
+
+### Score Clamping Logic
+```python
+# All graders return scores clamped to valid range
+clamped_score = max(0.001, min(0.999, composite_score))
+```
+
+## Inference Script Execution Modes
+
+### Mode 1: SINGLE_TASK (Default for Judging)
+```bash
+# Validates a single task with its specific grader
+export ENERGY_TASK="basic_ram_reduction"
+python inference.py
+```
+
+Output includes:
+- `[GRADER]` line showing task-specific metadata
+- `[METRICS]` line showing grader score
+- `[END]` line with final score
+
+### Mode 2: PIPELINE (Advanced)
+```bash
+export ENERGY_MODE="PIPELINE"
+python inference.py
+```
+
+Runs all 6 tasks with dependent pipeline and benchmark comparison.
+
+## Judging Process Flow
+
+1. **Judge runs inference script** with specific task via `ENERGY_TASK` env var
+2. **Script initializes environment** and resets
+3. **LLM interacts with environment** step by step
+4. **Each step logged** in `[STEP]` line with reward
+5. **Grader evaluated** on final observation
+6. **[GRADER]** line shows metadata and grader_score
+7. **[METRICS]** line shows efficiency metrics
+8. **[END]** line outputs:
+   - **Score**: The grader_score (what judges will see)
+   - **Rewards**: All individual step rewards
+   - **Success**: Boolean indicating pass/fail
+
+## Quality Assurance
+
+✅ **Graders are deterministic** - same observation always yields same score
+✅ **Scores are bounded** - all values in 0.001-0.999 range
+✅ **Judging output is clear** - [END] line has all required info
+✅ **Rewards are logged** - all step rewards preserved for analysis
+✅ **Success threshold clear** - 0.5 is the pass threshold
+✅ **Difficulty scaling** - harder tasks have stricter targets
+
