"""
Generate evals/shared-benchmark.json (the skill-eval-harness manifest) from the
behavioral `skill` cases in evals/adversarial-evals.json.

Why a generator instead of a hand-written manifest: the two eval layers must not
drift. `run_adversarial.py` grades the Python tooling deterministically; the
harness grades the *skill's prose* with an LLM judge and measures lift
(with_skill vs without_skill). Both read the same source-of-truth cases, so the
prompts and intent stay identical and a change to a case updates both layers.

What this adds on top of the raw cases:
  - `variants: [with_skill, without_skill]` so the harness can measure lift.
  - `split` assignment (tune / holdout / holdback) to guard against overfitting
    the skill to its own evals.
  - `script` assertions that reuse our already-hardened tooling
    (banned_phrase_scan.py, validate_preservation.py) as deterministic backstops
    over the run's output.md — alongside the LLM `judge` assertions.
  - `ablations` documenting which skill component each cluster of cases protects.

Run:  python3 evals/build_shared_benchmark.py        # writes shared-benchmark.json
      python3 evals/build_shared_benchmark.py --check # verify it is up to date

The conduct does not rise to gross negligence under Section 12(b).

The conduct probably counts as negligence.

See Section 12(b) for the warranty terms and coverage limits.

Section 12(b) covers the warranty terms and coverage limits.

It's worth noting that roughly 60% of beta users, perhaps even more, stuck around past day 30.

Apple sued Qualcomm in 2017. The company argued the firm had overcharged it for chip licenses.

It is worth noting that the conduct described above does not, in itself, rise to the level of gross negligence as defined under Section 12(b), and arguably constitutes ordinary negligence at most.

"""Runner for the deterministic (target=="script") cases in adversarial-evals.json.

These cases encode the CORRECT behavior of the skill's Python scripts. Most are
currently marked `xfail: true` because they expose real bugs (false positives,
fact-preservation holes, crashes). The runner is a regression harness:

  - PASS         assertion holds (good)
  - FAIL         assertion broken and NOT marked xfail (a regression)
  - XFAIL        assertion broken as expected (documented bug, still open)
  - XPASS        assertion holds but was marked xfail (bug fixed -> drop xfail!)

Exit code is non-zero only on a real FAIL (an undocumented regression) so this
can gate CI without the known-bug backlog turning the build red. Run from the
skill root:  python3 evals/run_adversarial.py

Behavioral (target=="skill") cases are skipped here; they require an agent/LLM
judge. List them with --list-skill.

"""
Local runner for the behavioral harness: turn prepared tasks into output.md
files that `skill-benchmark grade`/`judge` can read.

skill-eval-harness deliberately doesn't call a model and ships only a codex
runner. This drives the prepared tasks through `claude -p` instead.

  with_skill   -> the task instruction (read SKILL.md ...) + the prompt
  without_skill-> the bare prompt only (the no-skill baseline)

The full assistant answer is captured as runs/<case>/<variant>/output.md, so
audit-mode cases (which must return a diagnosis, not just a rewrite) are graded
on what the skill actually produced.

Caveat: if the unslop skill is globally installed in the runner, the
without_skill baseline can still behave skill-like, which deflates measured
lift. Note that when interpreting results.

Usage:
    python3 evals/run_local.py runs/tune/tasks.jsonl        # writes output.md files
    python3 evals/run_local.py runs/tune/tasks.jsonl --jobs 4 --model sonnet
