# 方案设计说明

闭环将训练集与验证集严格分离：baseline 逐条保存分数、通过状态、轨迹和成本，再依据证据归因。归因依次检查工具、参数、知识召回、格式、rubric 与最终回复，保证每个失败样本至少产生一个原因。候选 prompt 只使用训练失败簇生成，禁止读取验证答案。

候选重新运行全部验证样本，逐条标记新增通过、新增失败、提升、下降或不变。gate 同时检查总分提升、新增 hard fail、关键 case、单 case 下降和成本；任一条件不满足即拒绝，因此训练提升但验证退化的候选无法回写。默认 `update_source=false`，保留人工审批点。

实验落盘 baseline、candidate、逐 case delta、归因统计、候选 prompt、每轮分数、成本、耗时、随机种子、配置及理由，并生成 JSON 与 Markdown 报告。trace mode 使用固定轨迹，无 API Key 也可复现；生产可用 AgentEvaluator 替换 fake model、用 AgentOptimizer 生成 TargetPrompt，但比较、gate 与审计保持独立，避免优化器自评。未知失败归为最终回复不匹配而非忽略。

# Evaluation + Optimization automatic loop

This example turns prompt optimization into an auditable release decision:

1. evaluate the baseline prompt on separate training and validation sets;
2. attribute every failure from response, tool, argument, knowledge, format, and rubric evidence;
3. generate a candidate `TargetPrompt` from training failure clusters;
4. rerun both datasets and produce per-case regression deltas;
5. accept only when validation improvement, hard-fail, critical-case, regression, and cost gates pass;
6. persist the candidate, traces, seed, cost, duration, decision, and reasons.

Run without an API key:

```bash
python examples/optimization/eval_optimize_loop/run_pipeline.py
```

The command reads `train.evalset.json`, `val.evalset.json`, `optimizer.json`, and `prompt.md`, then writes
`optimization_report.json` and `optimization_report.md`. The included traces intentionally show training improvement
combined with validation regression; the candidate must therefore be rejected.

## Production integration

`TraceModel` is the offline adapter. Replace its `run` method with an `AgentEvaluator` call that returns the same trace
fields. `PromptOptimizer.optimize_prompt` can likewise be replaced by `AgentOptimizer.optimize` with a
`TargetPrompt().add_path("system_prompt", "prompt.md")`. Keep `compare`, `apply_gate`, and report serialization outside
the optimizer: this prevents the component proposing a prompt from also deciding whether its own result is safe to
ship. Leave `prompt.update_source=false` until the gate accepts and a reviewer approves the report.

Configuration controls the seed, target prompt, validation threshold, hard-fail policy, critical cases, maximum
per-case regression, and validation cost. Adding a new metric only requires extending `_score`; adding an attribution
requires one evidence-first branch in `FailureAttributor` and paired tests.

See [DESIGN.md](DESIGN.md) for the overfitting and audit design.
