AgentTarget(agent: Any, *, close_agent: bool = True, sessions: dict[str, str] | None = None, resume: ResumeSeam | None = None, evidence: TargetEvidenceAdapter | None = None, evidence_scope: Any = 'default', resources: Any = None)

Drive a public Agent and retain one transcript per conversation.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
resume ResumeSeam | None

the deployment's own public redemption operation, taking the person's answer. Optional and never invented: a compiled Agent pauses but does not redeem, so a target that was given no seam publishes no resume operation and every pack that needs one resolves to not-applicable by name.

CitationsSupported dataclass

CitationsSupported(attribute: str = 'retrieved_source_ids', minimum: int = 1, name: str = 'citations_supported')

Require response citations to name only evidence retrieved for this turn.

ClosedCorpusGrounded dataclass

ClosedCorpusGrounded(fact: NegativeFact, marker: str = 'NOT IN MANUAL', unsupported_attribute: str = 'unsupported_fact_ids', unsupported_count_attribute: str = 'unsupported_claim_count', retrieved_attribute: str = 'retrieved_source_ids', response_claims_attribute: str = 'response_claims', name: str = 'closed_corpus_grounded')

Require an explicit unsupported verdict with no invented proposition.

CompletedTurn dataclass

CompletedTurn(observation: Observation, result: Any, scope: Any, conversation: str, session_id: str, resources: Any = None)

The runtime-owned values from one completed turn.

Payload-bearing values are withheld from repr. They are handed only to the explicitly configured adapter and never copied into a report unless that adapter returns them as evidence.

ConcurrencyRestartSafe dataclass

ConcurrencyRestartSafe(attribute: str = 'concurrency_restart', minimum_workers: int = 4, name: str = 'concurrency_restart_safe')

Require isolated concurrent writes and identical durable restart state.

ConsolidationIdempotent dataclass

ConsolidationIdempotent(*mutation_counts: str, attribute: str = 'consolidation_cycles', complete_graph: bool = False)

Require a mutation-producing cycle followed by a stable no-op cycle.

ConsolidationStoreMutation dataclass

ConsolidationStoreMutation(attribute: str = 'consolidation_mutation', cycle: str = 'quick', name: str = 'consolidation_store_mutation')

Require a completed cycle to match an observable scoped store change.

Evidence contains identifiers and digests, never memory text. A populated comparison scope must remain stable, so an empty neighbor is not vacuous isolation evidence.

EffectReceipt dataclass

EffectReceipt(applied: bool, duplicate: bool, result: Any = None)

Whether this attempt applied the effect or found it already applied.

EvalAssertion

Bases: Protocol

A deterministic check over one turn observation.

EvalOperation

Bases: StrEnum

What a step asks the target to do.

Two, because a turn and a redemption are different operations against different seams. An approval evaluation that sent the person's answer as another prompt would prove the model can be told about an answer; only the deployment's own resume operation proves the paused run was rebuilt from its checkpoint and that the token was spent exactly once.

EvalProfile

Bases: StrEnum

Standard cost and infrastructure tiers for evaluation suites.

EvalReport dataclass

EvalReport(scenarios: tuple[ScenarioResult, ...], framework_version: str = '')

Complete result of an evaluation suite.

EvalStatus

Bases: StrEnum

Stable aggregate and trial outcomes.

EvalStep dataclass

EvalStep(prompt: str = '', assertions: tuple[EvalAssertion, ...] = (), conversation: str = 'default', scope: str = 'default', restart_before: bool = False, expected_error: str | None = None, output_type: type[Any] | None = None, state: Mapping[str, Any] = (lambda: MappingProxyType({}))(), attachments: tuple[Any, ...] = (), operation: EvalOperation = EvalOperation.OBSERVE, answer: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None)

One prompt and its required evidence assertions.

EvalSuite dataclass

EvalSuite(scenarios: tuple[Scenario, ...], target_factory: Callable[[], Any] | Mapping[str, Callable[[], Any]], pack_factory: Callable[[CapabilityEvidence, str], Sequence[PackResolution]] | None = None)

Discoverable suite definition consumed by :command:symfonic eval.

target_for

target_for(profile: str | None = None) -> Callable[[], Any]

Resolve the target explicitly; never guess among infrastructure tiers.

Source code in src/symfonic/evals/model.py
def target_for(self, profile: str | None = None) -> Callable[[], Any]:
    """Resolve the target explicitly; never guess among infrastructure tiers."""

    except KeyError as exc:
        raise ValueError(f"the eval suite has no {profile!r} target") from exc

EvalTarget

Bases: Protocol

Application boundary driven by the runner.

resume async

resume(*, conversation: str, scope: str, answer: Mapping[str, Any]) -> Observation

Redeem one outstanding pause through the deployment's own seam.

Separate from :meth:observe because it is a separate operation: it takes no prompt, it continues a turn that already ran, and the evidence it publishes is about the redemption rather than about an answer the model produced. A target that cannot do it says so by publishing no resume in operations, which makes an approval pack not-applicable instead of failing it on delivery.

EventsCorrelated dataclass

Evidence dataclass

Evidence(events: tuple[Any, ...] = (), attributes: Mapping[str, Any] = (lambda: MappingProxyType({}))())

FixtureIngestionComplete dataclass

FixtureIngestionComplete(fixture: BookFixture = load_book_fixture(), attribute: str = 'fixture_ingestion_records', name: str = 'fixture_ingestion_complete')

Require one canonical, checksum-matching record per fixture section.

Targets expose only identity evidence under fixture_ingestion_records: section_id, source_sha256, record_id and layer. Memory content never enters the report.

FixtureIngestionMode

Bases: StrEnum

The public application seam used to ingest the fixture.

FixtureIngestionReport(fixture_id: str, routes: tuple[IngestionApplicability, ...])

Applicability for both fixture ingestion routes, never a silent skip.

Stable mode names that were not offered by this deployment.

as_dict

HttpChatTarget

HttpChatTarget(base_url: str, *, headers_for_scope: HeaderFactory, restart: RestartHook | None = None, evidence_for_run: EvidenceLoader | None = None, client_factory: Callable[[], AsyncClient] | None = None)

Evaluate the shipped JSON chat API with explicit scope credentials.

headers_for_scope is the authorization boundary: a scenario names a harmless alias and the deployment decides which authenticated headers that alias receives. Raw credentials therefore never enter reports or fixtures.

It reports no capabilities and no turn_inputs, which is the honest answer for this protocol: the API carries a query and returns an answer, so nothing about a turn through it evidences a composed capability. Optional packs therefore resolve to not-applicable against it by name rather than failing on a step it would refuse to deliver.

reason: str

A payload-free explanation suitable for an evaluation report.

IsolationBoundaryObserved dataclass

IsolationBoundaryObserved(boundary: str, attribute: str = 'isolation_evidence', name: str = 'isolation_boundary_observed')

Require positive source evidence and a zero-admission isolated read.

MeaningfulMemoryEdges dataclass

MemoryCategorySeparated dataclass

MemoryCategorySeparated(expected: Mapping[str, str], *, attribute: str = 'memory_classifications', minimum_per_category: int = 1, allow_extra: bool = False)

Require memory records to retain their declared category and subject.

Evidence is a sequence of records with record_id, category and subject fields. Expected values are category-to-subject declarations. A record identity appearing in multiple categories is always a failure.

Observation dataclass

Observation(response: str, events: tuple[Any, ...] = (), attributes: Mapping[str, Any] = (lambda: MappingProxyType({}))())

One response and the safe evidence produced while obtaining it.

PackResolution dataclass

PackResolution(pack: str, applicable: bool, scenarios: tuple[Scenario, ...] = (), missing: tuple[str, ...] = ())

One pack's verdict: scenarios to run, or the evidence that was absent.

reason property

reason: str

Why the pack did not apply, naming evidence and never payloads.

PromptMemoryCategorized dataclass

PromptMemoryCategorized(expected: Mapping[str, str], name: str = 'prompt_memory_categories')

Bases: ResponseMemoryCategorized

Require the fact and validated category in the same recalled record line.

PromptRecallContains dataclass

PromptRecallContains(*fragments: str, attribute: str = 'prompt_recall', case_sensitive: bool = False)

Require fragments in the exact recall text supplied to the model.

The target opts in by placing the delimited recall contribution in attributes[attribute]. This deliberately checks model input rather than store contents or the answer, either of which can produce a false positive while prompt injection is broken.

ProviderEvidenceRecorder

ProviderEvidenceRecorder(provider: Any)

Wrap a model provider and retain what its chat models actually receive.

This is evaluation instrumentation, not inference logic. It captures in a LangChain callback at the provider boundary, after prompt assembly and attachment encoding. Reading the original eval prompt would be easier but would turn a dropped context block into a false green.

calls property

calls: Sequence[tuple[Any, ...]]

All captured batches, for diagnostics owned by the evaluation.

calls_since

calls_since(cursor: int) -> tuple[tuple[Any, ...], ...]

Actual message batches delivered after cursor.

def cursor(self) -> int:
    """Position before a turn; later reads cannot include earlier calls."""
    return len(self._calls)

ResponseDoesNotContradictRecall dataclass

ResponseDoesNotContradictRecall(recall_attribute: str = 'recall_claims', response_attribute: str = 'response_claims', minimum: int = 1, name: str = 'response_does_not_contradict_recall')

Compare target-normalized response claims with recalled claims.

Both attributes are mappings from a stable claim id to a normalized value. Only claim ids present in both mappings are compared. minimum prevents an empty response-claim mapping from passing vacuously.

ResponseEquals dataclass

ResponseEquals(expected: str, name: str = 'response_equals')

Require an exact answer without copying it into a failed report.

ResponseJson dataclass

ResponseJson(expected: Any = None, exact: bool = True, name: str = 'response_json')

Require valid JSON and optionally an exact object shape.

ResponseMemoryCategorized dataclass

ResponseMemoryCategorized(expected: Mapping[str, str], name: str = 'response_memory_categories')

Require each fact fragment and its category on the same table row.

Used with a prompt asking for subject, memory_category and detail columns. Mentioning all categories elsewhere, or labelling a fact with its storage layer, cannot pass. Expectations never appear in diagnostic output.

RubricJudge dataclass

RubricJudge(judge: RubricJudgePort | Callable[[RubricRequest], Awaitable[RubricVerdict]], rubric_id: str, rubric_version: str, criteria: tuple[str, ...], minimum_score: float = 1.0, name: str = 'rubric_judge', nondeterministic: bool = True)

Opt-in nondeterministic assertion, subordinate to deterministic evidence.

Pinned rubric plus the answer an adopter explicitly sends to a judge.

RubricVerdict dataclass

RubricVerdict(score: float, reason_code: str)

Provider-neutral structured judge response.

Scenario dataclass

Scenario(name: str, steps: tuple[EvalStep, ...], policy: TrialPolicy = TrialPolicy(), tags: frozenset[str] = frozenset())

An ordered behaviour specification executed as one isolated trial.

Aggregate verdict across all configured trials.

ScopedRecords dataclass

ScopedRecords(attribute: str = 'memory_records', scope_path: str = '', minimum: int = 1, name: str = 'scoped_records')

Require store evidence to be visible only from an expected scope.

Targets place record-shaped values in an observation attribute. This check reads identity metadata only; it never examines or reports record content.

SideEffectCount dataclass

SideEffectCount(ledger: SideEffectLedger, attempts: int, effects: int, duplicates: int, name: str = 'side_effect_count')

Assert attempted, applied and duplicate counts without exposing keys.

SideEffectLedger

SideEffectLedger()

In-process fixture proving a tool honors a business idempotency key.

This is evaluation infrastructure, not a production durability mechanism. A deployed tool should use its transactional database or durable command ledger with the same apply_once contract. The fixture deliberately counts attempts separately from applied effects, so a replay cannot pass merely because the second request disappeared before reaching the tool.

channels: Iterable[str]

Evidence channels this adapter implements, using stable names.

Require metadata-default and explicit, bounded, redacted content mode.

TraitProbe dataclass

TraitProbe(available: bool, operation: Callable[[], Any])

A public operation and whether its feature door exists.

available=False is the explicit feature-absent answer. Once the door exists, an exception is an operational failure and propagates; collapsing it into absence would silently remove the pack from a broken deployment.

TrialPolicy dataclass

TrialPolicy(trials: int = 1, pass_threshold: float = 1.0, timeout_seconds: float = 30.0)

How often a scenario runs and how many successful trials it requires.

required_passes property

Smallest integer number of passes satisfying the threshold.

TrialResult dataclass

TrialResult(index: int, status: EvalStatus, steps: tuple[StepResult, ...] = (), reason: str = '', duration_ms: float = 0.0)

Result of one isolated scenario attempt.

UntrustedContentObserved dataclass

Pause for a person, resume through the public seam, refuse the replay.

Three steps, and the middle one is the reason this pack exists.

The pause is read off the run's own terminal event, not off the answer: a turn that described a pause and finished anyway is exactly the failure this pack exists to catch. pause_resumable is the capability's measured report that the stopped turn reached a checkpointer, so a deployment that publishes a pause nobody can answer fails here rather than at the moment a person tries.

The resume is an :attr:~symfonic.evals.model.EvalOperation.RESUME step carrying the person's answer, so it goes through the deployment's own redemption operation and nothing else. Two earlier shapes are both excluded by construction: another prompt would only show that the model can be told about an answer, and spending the token directly would skip every check between authenticating it and consuming it. The step therefore requires three separate facts, because a deployment can satisfy any two of them while failing a person:

  • the outcome came back at all;
  • the token was bound to a checkpoint;
  • the paused turn was rebuilt from it. A deployment that validates the answer, spends the token, and has no recorded turn state to continue reports a perfectly successful redemption and leaves the run stopped forever.

The third step redeems the same retained token again and requires the named refusal, so a token that redeemed twice fails even though both redemptions returned an outcome.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
answer Mapping[str, Any]

what the person replies. It is validated by the deployment's registered response schema and against the recorded question, so an answer that does not fit fails the resume rather than being quietly accepted.

required
interaction_tool str

the registered interaction name. No default -- the built-in ask_user is one registration among a deployment's own, and assuming it would evaluate a different interaction than the one under test.

required
resumable bool

what the deployment claims its pause is. Stated rather than defaulted-away, because False is a legitimate wiring and an evaluation that always demanded True could not express it. A pause declared unresumable cannot then be required to continue, so the continuation assertion follows this flag.

            own, and assuming it would evaluate a different interaction than
            the one under test.
        resumable: what the deployment claims its pause is. Stated rather than
            defaulted-away, because ``False`` is a legitimate wiring and an
            evaluation that always demanded ``True`` could not express it. A
            pause declared unresumable cannot then be required to continue, so
            the continuation assertion follows this flag.

Demonstrate, promote, approve, persist, then enforce one procedure (SC-16).

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
demonstrations Sequence[str]

the turns that give the consolidation something to generalise. The last one is where the promotion becomes visible, so the target must have run its cycle by then and must publish the cycle's own promoted count -- not a turn counter.

required
review_prompt str

the operator turn under which the draft is reviewed. The evidence is the review door's listing, so an approval that did not reach the store fails here even when the answer says it did.

required
draft_prompt str

a tool-calling turn before review; it proves the draft is absent from the prompt and inert at the enforcement gate.

required
satisfied_state Mapping[str, Any]

the turn state under which the approved procedure's precondition holds.

required
blocked_state Mapping[str, Any]

the same request with it unmet. Must differ from satisfied_state: two identical states would make the refusal step a repeat of the one before it.

required
draft_state Mapping[str, Any]

explicit state for the pre-approval tool call.

required
action_tool str

the tool the approved procedure is allowed to call, and the tool the review row must name.

required
procedure_fragment str

text that must appear in the recall block once the procedure is approved. Checked against model input, because an answer that repeats a procedure proves only that the model can repeat a procedure.

required
ledger SideEffectLedger

the fixture the action tool applies its effect through.

required
promotion_attribute str

where the target publishes the promoted count its consolidation cycle reported.

'procedural_promoted'
review_attribute str

where the target publishes :func:procedural_review_rows over the public review door.

'procedural_review'
review_identity_attribute str

approved procedure identity digests read through the review door.

'procedural_review_ids'
enforcement_identity_attribute str

identity digests from the procedures the actual precondition callback read during this turn.

'procedural_enforcement_ids'
restart_before_enforcement bool

rebuild the deployment before the turn that enforces. On by default, because everything above the store is process state: a procedure that only governs until the next restart is not one a deployment can rely on.

True

The last step is the one that discriminates. A refused call still reaches the gate, so the pack requires the round to show a rejected precondition stage, a tool call, zero successful executions, and a side-effect ledger whose applied count did not move from the previous step. A tool that ran anyway moves that count, and no wording in the answer can hide it.

A tool result the model can look at must still be lookable at later.

One turn proves nothing: compaction rewrites results that have settled, so the failure is on the second turn. It replaced an image block with a text stub and offered recall returning str, and the model then answers about the picture from a description of it, which reads exactly like an answer about the picture (#144).

Hence two steps in one conversation: the first calls the tool, the second asks something only the image can settle. expected_fragments must name something legible only from the image and never a value the first answer already stated, or the model can reconstruct it from its own prose.
