From 409bec2b2556340e61ebb022c02dac707c038ce7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=E9=9B=B7=E7=94=B5=E8=8A=BD=E8=A1=A3?= Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 14:08:35 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Record 3 new B5 fixtures: IC task exec, manager handoff, non-CEO DM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit These are the role×trigger tripwires Karpathy required before C4 can ship: covering IC / manager / non-CEO paths, not just the two CEO fixtures from 1d0cfa2. Together they act as the cross-role regression net — any C4 change that breaks hire_agent tool registration or prompt shape across role tiers will now surface as an assertion failure, not a silent production drift. Fixtures recorded against anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5 via the user's Claude Max OAuth token (read from macOS keychain, not committed): - ic-task-execute (364 in / 1425 out): IC receives task t_1138, expects task id + filename in the response and a mark_complete intent within 3 turns. - manager-task-handoff (457 in / 1022 out): VP Engineering decomposes CEO p99 directive into IC-sized tasks; expects /api/task/create calls, references to agent_ic_* slugs, and the "p99" term. - non-ceo-dm-reply (357 in / 545 out): VP Product handles a peer DM with blocking ETA ask; expects mark_read + /api/agent_message/send + message id preserved. Total spend ~3.7k tokens; pnpm test:eval --run now green at 8/8 (3 harness self-tests + 5 recorded fixtures). With these tripwires in place, C4 (hire_agent / file_approval tool uplift + initial-user-turn rewrite) can proceed without the previous "only CEO path has a baseline" blind spot. --- tests/eval/fixtures/ic-task-execute.jsonl | 4 ++++ tests/eval/fixtures/manager-task-handoff.jsonl | 4 ++++ tests/eval/fixtures/non-ceo-dm-reply.jsonl | 4 ++++ tests/eval/scenarios/ic-task-execute/system.txt | 16 ++++++++++++++++ tests/eval/scenarios/ic-task-execute/user.txt | 3 +++ .../scenarios/manager-task-handoff/system.txt | 16 ++++++++++++++++ .../eval/scenarios/manager-task-handoff/user.txt | 9 +++++++++ tests/eval/scenarios/non-ceo-dm-reply/system.txt | 16 ++++++++++++++++ tests/eval/scenarios/non-ceo-dm-reply/user.txt | 7 +++++++ 9 files changed, 79 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tests/eval/fixtures/ic-task-execute.jsonl create mode 100644 tests/eval/fixtures/manager-task-handoff.jsonl create mode 100644 tests/eval/fixtures/non-ceo-dm-reply.jsonl create mode 100644 tests/eval/scenarios/ic-task-execute/system.txt create mode 100644 tests/eval/scenarios/ic-task-execute/user.txt create mode 100644 tests/eval/scenarios/manager-task-handoff/system.txt create mode 100644 tests/eval/scenarios/manager-task-handoff/user.txt create mode 100644 tests/eval/scenarios/non-ceo-dm-reply/system.txt create mode 100644 tests/eval/scenarios/non-ceo-dm-reply/user.txt diff --git a/tests/eval/fixtures/ic-task-execute.jsonl b/tests/eval/fixtures/ic-task-execute.jsonl new file mode 100644 index 00000000..985cc543 --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/eval/fixtures/ic-task-execute.jsonl @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +{"type":"meta","fixtureId":"ic-task-execute","piAgentCoreVersion":"0.67.68","recordedAt":"2026-04-20T18:07:35.718Z","scenario":"ic-task-execute roundtable session-6 baseline","systemPromptHash":"sha256:3128b1dfba62ab590e0dac5e6a4f32ab846483e3a5a3c2136abe76b3fe9edf94"} +{"type":"turn","turnIndex":0,"role":"user","content":[{"type":"text","text":"Trigger: task_dispatch.
