# OpsGuard — Train a 3B Model to Run On-Call for an Open-Source Repo

> **Can a 3B model triage 60 issues in a row — while a co-evolved adversary tries to slip spam past it?**

OpsGuard is an OpenEnv environment that trains LLM maintainers against synthetic spammers across 6 difficulty tiers, scoring against the **real maintainer decisions** of `huggingface/peft`. **No simulator. Real GitHub data. Real ground truth.**

## Hero numbers — rule-based baselines on real GH data

375 real issues, 1911 comments. Each scenario mixes real issues + synthetic spam at scenario-defined rate. Mean over 3 seeds:

| Scenario (steps × spam-rate) | random | label_everything | close_everything | **keyword_triager** |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| E0 quiet day (30 × 0%) | +3.26 | +0.50 | -1.60 | **+5.70** |
| E1 release week (60 × 10%) | -3.70 | -3.34 | -5.24 | **+12.71** |
| E2 spam wave (120 × 40%) | -13.14 | -9.76 | +0.74 | **+23.32** |
| E3 coordinated attack (200 × 55%) | -14.15 | -23.12 | +12.18 | **+40.58** |

Spread grows monotonically: **7 → 18 → 36 → 64 reward points** as horizon and adversary intensity rise. **Greedy strategies fail at long horizons.** No shortcut wins.

## The Story — 4 Acts

**Act 1 — The Naive Triager.** Baseline (`label_everything`) blindly tags every issue `bug`. On E2, half the queue is synthetic spam — none caught. Reward: -9.76.

**Act 2 — The Keyword Spotter.** Hand-coded rules detect spam tokens, route by content keyword, request info on thin reports. Same E2 scenario: **+23.32**. Spam recall jumps 0% → 77%.

**Act 3 — The Adversary Learns.** A second 3B model is DPO-trained as a spammer, mining the maintainer's misses. It paraphrases real issue titles, fabricates urgency, mimics trusted-contributor voice. Keyword spotter's spam recall starts dropping back toward 50% on harder tiers.

**Act 4 — The Co-evolved Maintainer.** The maintainer is GRPO-trained on rollouts against the trained adversary. By round 3, it learns to weigh hidden contributor reputation, query history before deciding, and resist `self_contradiction`-style appeals. Final hero numbers populate post-training.

## Hackathon themes hit

- **T2 long-horizon** — episodes 30 → 500 steps; multi-issue queues; agent must process backlog while resisting 60-issue spam waves
- **T4 self-improvement** — co-evolved adversary (trainable spammer LoRA) + mastery-driven curriculum (E0 → E5 unlocks on rolling reward, kube-sre-gym pattern)
- **T3 world modeling touch** — hidden contributor reputation drives reward but is **never** exposed to the agent. Agent infers trust from public stats (PR count, account age) — env penalizes mis-judgement.

## Action space (9 actions, single per step)

`label` · `close_spam` · `request_info` · `link_duplicate` · `assign` · `comment` · `merge_pr` · `query_history` · `wait`

JSON contract:
```json
{"action_type":"label","target_issue_id":12345,"label":"bug","reasoning":"..."}
```

## Reward (composable rubric, hard to game)

Per the OpenEnv hackathon hint *"composable rubrics > monolithic scoring"*, OpsGuard splits reward into 7 components fired conditionally:

| Component | Fires when | Sign |
|---|---|---|
| `action_match` | agent's action == maintainer's recorded action | +1.0 (correct), -0.5 (wrong), +0.4 (partial) |
| `label_overlap` | Jaccard between predicted & true label sets | +0..0.4 |
| `spam_resistance` | `close_spam` on synthetic spam | +0.8 |
| | engaged with spam (label/merge/assign) | -0.7 |
| `reputation_alignment` | closed spam on low-rep author / labeled trusted-author content | ±0.2 |
| `info_request` | first request on under-described issue / redundant | +0.15 / -0.15 |
| `repeat_action_penalty` | same action on same issue within 5 steps | -0.15 |
| `workflow_efficiency` | per-step cost | -0.02 |
| **terminal**: `queue_completion × spam_recall_gate` | end of episode | -1..1, multiplicative |

The terminal is multiplicative on purpose — a policy that hits queue completion but ignores spam is gated to 0. Greedy strategies fail.

## Try it yourself (3 paths)

**1. Run baseline eval (CPU only, ~2 min):**
```bash
git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/sai1906/opsguard
cd opsguard
pip install -e .
python scripts/run_baseline_eval.py --out eval_outputs/baseline
cat eval_outputs/baseline/summary.md
```

**2. Run env locally:**
```bash
python -m server.app  # → http://localhost:8000
curl http://localhost:8000/state
```

**3. Train + GRPO (Colab T4 free OR HF Jobs A100 ~1h):**
```bash
# Open scripts/train_grpo_colab.ipynb in Colab → Run All
# OR via HF Jobs:
hf jobs uv run --flavor a100-large \
    --with "trl,unsloth,openenv-core,peft,bitsandbytes,vllm,datasets" \
    --secrets HF_TOKEN \
    -- python scripts/train_grpo.py \
        --model unsloth/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-bnb-4bit \
        --hub-repo sai1906/opsguard-grpo \
        --num-steps 200
```

## Why it matters

Open-source maintainers spend 30–50% of triage time on duplicates, urgency-fabrications, and low-info noise. A 3B model that catches 80% of synthetic spam at 95% precision and routes the rest to the right label is a real productivity win — and it's a problem nobody has trained for in OpenEnv before.
