What and why

Trace linking used to happen inline, per item: the run waited for Langfuse to ingest each
conversation's trace before starting the next item. That wait decides nothing — the pass/fail
verdict is already final by the time it begins — and it was charged to the item, so the agent
looked about twice as slow as it really is.

Those lookups are now queued and run as one batch after the agent phase, before any report is
printed, so scores are still final before the command exits. --concurrency also reaches
the agentic kinds now. Direct library callers (the tavern e2e suite) keep the old synchronous
behaviour.

Measured on staging — 18 agentic_general_question items × 2 runs, gpt-5.6-luna:

master this PR
--concurrency 1 462s 233s (2.0× faster)
--concurrency 2 774s ¹ 114s (4.1× faster)
reported latency per run 12.7s 5.2s ²
traces lost (scores orphaned) 0, then 2 ³ 0

¹ --concurrency has no effect on master's agentic path, so this is the same serial work as the
row above. Master ran identical workloads in 462s and 774s — inline polling made the runtime
hostage to whatever the ingestion lag happened to be.
² Not a speedup. Master's per-run number included that run's Langfuse polling; the agent was
never 12.7s/run. Two separate wins: real wall-clock time, and a latency figure that finally
measures the agent instead of our own bookkeeping.
³ One master run lost two traces. Concurrency overlaps each item's query window, and without a
server-side sessionId filter a busy window pushes the item's own trace off the results page.

Which datasets run in parallel, and which deliberately do not

--concurrency K evaluates K items at once. Kinds whose agent creates objects in the
workspace
are always run one at a time, whatever K says:

runs in parallel always serial (creates workspace objects)
agentic_general_question agentic_metric_skill
agentic_guardrail agentic_alert_skill
agentic_search agentic_kda_skill
vis_agentic, agentic_visualization agentic_conversation

The reason is contamination, not speed: a metric or alert created and dropped mid-run would be
visible to another item reading the same catalog, so those items would start failing for
reasons that have nothing to do with what they test. Anything not on the parallel-safe list
runs serially by default, so a kind added later is safe until someone reviews it.

Two caveats: the single-turn metric_skill / alert_skill kinds are still fanned out by
--concurrency (the allowlist only guards the agentic dispatch), so avoid raising K on a
dataset of those against a shared workspace. And with K > 1 the parallel-safe kinds all run
before the serial ones, so execution order differs from --concurrency 1.

Behaviour changes reviewers should know

  • Pass rates are not directly comparable to older runs. A judge fault on one run no longer
    errors the whole item: that run is ungraded, pass@K holds on the runs that were graded, and
    unscored_runs appears in the detail. An item with no graded run at all errors. pass^K is
    stricter — it now requires every run to be graded.
  • agentic_conversation no longer claims K runs. It takes no k and drives its fixture
    once, so --runs 5 used to report five runs and divide one conversation's latency by five.
  • Each item now reports runs_passed / pass_power_k; previously a 5/5 item and a 1/5 item
    looked identical in every field.
  • A malformed judge score raises instead of scoring 0. {"score": 2} used to be reported as
    a confident FAIL. {"score": "1"} is accepted again.
  • openai>=1.45 is required by the llm-judge extra — 1.44 and earlier have no
    max_completion_tokens, so every judge call would TypeError.
  • Ctrl-C now stops promptly. Queued items and queued trace lookups are dropped, and a trace
    poll that is already running is told to stop rather than sleeping out the rest of its retry
    budget — measured against staging with Langfuse unreachable, the CLI exited 105.4s after
    the interrupt before this change and 1.1s after. Agent calls already in flight still
    finish, so expect to wait up to one --concurrency-wide wave for those.

Verification

  • 685 tests pass — also per test file standalone, in reverse module order, and with
    GOODDATA_TOKEN, TAVERN_E2E_SKIP_TRACE_LINK, GD_EVAL_TIMERS and GD_EVAL_JUDGE_MODEL
    exported. ruff check, ruff format --check, uv run ty and uv lock --check clean.
  • Pass rates unchanged against a live baseline: 18/18 on general_question and 33/33 on the
    33-item guardrail dataset, on this branch and on the pre-change tree. pass^K differed on
    guardrail (32 vs 29); re-running the three differing items three times per tree gave master
    2/3, 1/3, 2/3 and this branch 2/3, 2/3, 2/3 — agent non-determinism on borderline refusal
    prompts, not a regression.
  • Trace lookups confirmed against production Langfuse: zero no trace found across the
    runs above, slowest item 15.4s against a 120s budget.

Fixes found while reviewing this change — the judge contract, an interrupt that ran the whole
queue before stopping, the sessionId filter that never reached the server, and several tests
that certified nothing — are described in the commit message, each reproduced before it was
fixed.

Impact on the gdc-nas nightly: none until the pin moves

gdc-nas installs from PyPI and pins gooddata-eval == 1.73.1.dev3, and uv sync runs without
--upgrade, so the nightly is unaffected until that lock is deliberately bumped. One thing was
fixed because of it: the tavern shims link traces inline, not batched, so they keep a 35s
budget (identical to the old behaviour) while the batched CLI path gets 120s. Land the lock
bump as its own gdc-nas PR and diff the pass rates before scheduling it.

Known and deliberately deferred

  • The link budget is per item, so at --runs 3+ a slow first conversation shortens the later
    ones' retry ladders.
  • PARALLEL_SAFE_TEST_KINDS classifies by evaluator; nothing restricts the agent's toolset, so
    it encodes an assumption about the fixtures rather than an enforced property.
  • Only 2 of 8 agentic kinds record per-phase timings; the rest report 0.0 for
    agent/judge/simulated-user. best_run_latency_s is still null for agentic items.
  • For multi-turn kinds the Langfuse cost comes from the single slowest trace in the session, so
    cost is under-counted.
  • _MAX_WORKERS = 16 for the drain pool ignores --concurrency; a 0% pass rate still exits 0;
    WorkspaceModelController.restore(None) no-ops; the four GOODDATA_EVAL_CHAT_* retry
    variables are undocumented.

165-166: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider abandoning the queue when __exit__ unwinds with an exception.

__exit__ always calls drain(). If the with body raises, the caller then waits for the whole batch, and each unresolved poll can spend _LINK_BUDGET_SEC. The interrupt path in cli/agentic_runner.py calls abandon() explicitly, so the context-manager API is the only place with this behavior.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-    def __exit__(self, *_exc: Any) -> None:
-        self.drain()
+    def __exit__(self, exc_type: Any = None, *_exc: Any) -> None:
+        if exc_type is not None:
+            # Same reasoning as the interrupt path: a failed body must not make the
+            # caller sit through a batch of retrying polls.
+            self.abandon()
+            return
+        self.drain()

680-742: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Consider extracting the deferred trace-link scaffolding into one shared helper.

Every evaluator now repeats the same scaffolding: pin window_end, import the five _langfuse symbols locally, call build_run_context with the identical eight arguments, call find_traces_per_conversation, compute suffix_needed/run_name, and call submit_trace_link. Only the per-run scoring body differs. The graph context shows the same block in metric_skill.py, visualization.py, search_tool.py, and general_question.py, so the pattern is duplicated in at least eight files. A helper such as defer_trace_link(...) that takes the run identifiers and a per-run score(run, trace_id) callback would keep the window-pinning contract and the submission ordering in one place.

  • packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/agentic/alert_skill.py#L680-L742: replace the inline _link_traces scaffolding with the shared helper and pass only the strict-check scoring body.
  • packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/agentic/conversation.py#L513-L585: use the same helper with the single-conversation id list and the conversation-specific score body.
  • packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/agentic/guardrail.py#L232-L290: use the same helper and pass the graded-run filter plus the guardrail score body.
  • packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/agentic/kda_skill.py#L387-L466: use the same helper and keep the turn_wall_clock_sec scoring body local.

This is a maintainability suggestion only. The current behavior is correct, so it can be deferred.

137-143: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Aggregate run counts still use the requested K, not the effective runs.

ItemReport.avg_latency_s now divides by runs_total, but EvalReport.total_runs still sums i.runs. For a kind that sets runs_effective (for example agentic_conversation with --runs 5 and one actual run), the summary reports 5 runs and divides the item's latency by 5, while the item row reports 1 run and the true per-run latency. The two numbers in the same report then disagree.

Sum runs_total instead so the summary matches the Runs column.

Proposed fix
     `@property`
     def total_runs(self) -> int:
-        return sum(i.runs for i in self.items)
+        return sum(i.runs_total for i in self.items)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds structured LLM judging, deferred Langfuse trace linking, bounded agentic concurrency, phase timing metrics, run-count reporting, dataset context propagation, CLI options, tests, and documentation.

packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/*, packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/cli/*, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/*, packages/gooddata-eval/README.md, .gitignore
Judge responses now use structured verdicts and preserve unreadable runs as ungraded. Agentic evaluators defer Langfuse linking, capture timing and run metrics, and share failure payloads. The runner supports bounded concurrency, cancellation, ordered results, and trace draining. Dataset context reaches chat requests. Console and JSON reports expose effective runs, ungraded runs, unanimity, and phase latency. CLI options configure the judge model, timers, and concurrency.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7f04d

The updated evaluation and trace-linking flows preserve dataset context, avoid failure-path retry delays, and report actual run counts consistently. No remaining merge-blocking risk was identified.

Reset _ACTIVE_CANCEL between tests. An interrupted BackgroundTraceLinker.drain() sets _trace_linker._ACTIVE_CANCEL and leaves it set. The clean drain clears it only in the current file order. If an interrupt test runs first, link_cancel_event() in this test can return the stale event instead of None. Add an autouse fixture that resets _trace_linker._ACTIVE_CANCEL before and after each test.

Finding a gen-ai trace means polling until Langfuse has ingested it -- anywhere
from one round trip to the full retry budget. None of that work produces a
verdict; the pass/fail is already decided by the time it starts. Charging the
item's latency for it both slowed the run and made the reported agent latency
wrong.

Each evaluate_agentic_* now hands its Langfuse block to a linker instead of
running it inline. The CLI injects a BackgroundTraceLinker that collects the
queue and drains it after the agent phase, before any report is rendered, so
scores are always final before the command exits. Direct library callers keep
the synchronous default and are behaviour-compatible.

Alongside that:

- Per-phase latency (agent / judge / simulated user / Langfuse) recorded per
  run and aggregated across K runs, exposed as an additive latency_breakdown_s.
- --concurrency reaches the agentic path, partitioned by an explicit
  PARALLEL_SAFE_TEST_KINDS allowlist; anything absent runs serially.
- --timers gates the per-turn [timer] output (off by default). --judge-model
  selects the LLM-as-judge model (default gpt-4o).
- An unreadable judge response raises JudgeResponseError instead of scoring 0.
- An item's user_context (a WIDGET/VIEW attachment the question refers to) is
  relayed to the chat request as userContext, and survives the Langfuse dataset
  round trip.

FIXES FOUND WHILE REVIEWING THE ABOVE

Each was reproduced broken first, then re-verified by re-injecting the defect
and confirming the new test fails.

Judge contract:
- A judge fault on one run of K discarded every run already graded, dropped
  their Langfuse scores, and reported an item whose pass@K was ALREADY
  satisfied as a failure -- the same "a parse bug reads as a pass-rate drop"
  that JudgeResponseError exists to prevent, one layer up. A fault is now
  confined to its own run; pass@K holds on the graded runs, pass^K requires
  every run graded, and an item with no graded run at all errors.
  dashboard_summary needed it most: it judges once PER CRITERION, so one bad
  body lost all of them.
- choices == [] (content filters, gateway error envelopes) escaped as a bare
  IndexError, past the typed error, with none of the body or metadata.
- {"score": 2} was reported as a confident FAIL -- int(score) == 1 was the last
  place an invented 0 survived. Only 0 and 1 are verdicts now.
- {"score": "1"} regressed; JSON mode quotes numbers routinely, so it is
  coerced again.
- The temperature fallback matched "temperature" in str(exc), and the openai
  SDK stringifies the whole response body into the message. Gateways echo the
  request inside it, so any 400 -- context_length_exceeded included -- was
  misread, silently dropping temperature=0 from every later verdict. Now read
  off the provider's structured error.
- openai>=1.45 is required: 1.40-1.44 lack max_completion_tokens (verified
  against the wheel) and would TypeError on every judge call.

Interrupts:
- A bare `with ThreadPoolExecutor(...)` exits via shutdown(wait=True) with
  cancel_futures left False, so Ctrl-C ran every QUEUED item to completion
  first. Reproduced: SIGINT at 0.30s, interrupt observed at 9.00s, all 6 items
  run. Both pools now cancel; drain() had the same defect and sits outside the
  abandon() guard, so it cancels on the pool itself.

Langfuse:
- The sessionId filter never reached the server: _TraceAPI.list had no such
  parameter and it is the only client make_langfuse_client returns. So every
  attempt downloaded a full limit=100 page of the whole window and filtered it
  locally -- and the endpoint returns newest-first, so once a window held more
  than 100 traces the item's OWN trace was evicted and it spent its entire
  budget on a page that could never contain it.
- The 120s budget is affordable only because the batch blocks nobody. Direct
  library callers poll inline, on their own critical path (the tavern e2e suite
  under a step timeout), where 120s tripled a miss from ~35s to ~110s. The
  budget now follows the mode: 35s inline (identical to the old ladder, to the
  second), 120s batched.
- A local --dataset cannot be attached to a Langfuse run, but linking still
  happens off exported credentials, so every conversation earned a raw 404 from
  dataset-run-items at the very end of the run. Now warned before the run
  starts and reported once per run with its cause.

Reporting:
- pass@K answers "did any run pass", so a 5/5 item and a 1/5 item were
  identical in every output -- quality_score reads the best run alone. Every
  agentic kind already computed the count and dropped it. Now surfaced as
  runs_passed / pass_power_k per item and passed_all_runs per run, with "4/5
  runs passed" in the console.
- agentic_conversation takes no k and drives its fixture once, but runs = k was
  set unconditionally, so --runs 5 claimed five runs and divided one
  conversation's latency by five.
- An errored item lost the phase timings it had managed to take.

Tests that certified nothing:
- The window-pinning guard counted call arity, so inlining _dt.now() inside
  _link_traces -- the exact drift its docstring describes -- passed.
- abandon() had no effective coverage: the only test reaching it never calls
  drain(), so replacing its body with `pass` left 69 tests green.
- test_resolve_connection_uses_profile read an exported GOODDATA_TOKEN instead
  of the profile it stubs, and one test popped TAVERN_E2E_SKIP_TRACE_LINK with
  no guard, unsetting it for every module collected afterwards.

Docs:
- Audited every factual claim in the README. The retry budget is no longer one
  number; runs_passed / pass_power_k / passed_all_runs were undocumented; the
  local-dataset linking behaviour was unexplained; and the experiment run name
  was wrong (and had been on master): the code builds
  {dataset_name}_{timestamp}_{model} with _effort-{level} and _run{N} suffixes.
- --concurrency's --help omitted agentic_kda_skill from the forced-serial list.

SIMPLIFICATION PASS

types-check was failing on this branch, and the local check disagreed because
CI runs `uv run ty` (the locked version), not `uvx ty` (latest). Two real
diagnostics in langfuse_source._infer_test_kind: isinstance(metadata, dict)
does not narrow the following subscript past object. Binding the value before
the isinstance check fixes it and drops a double lookup. A first attempt also
proved that py314 defers annotation evaluation (PEP 649), so a missing TypeVar
passed the suite here and would have NameError'd at import on py310-313.

The eight evaluate_agentic_* functions each carried a byte-identical ~36-line
Langfuse prologue, so every change above had to be made eight times -- and two
AST-walking tests existed only to stop the eight copies from drifting. That
block is now one helper: RunIdentity / RunTraceContext / submit_trace_scoring.
`def _link_traces` 8 -> 1, `build_run_context(` 9 -> 2, `suffix_needed` 12 ->
0. The structural tests were retargeted at the invariant's new home rather than
deleted, and conversation.py resolves its dataset name eagerly so a queued task
no longer retains the whole ConversationFixture until drain.

Also: emit_line replaces six hand-rolled stdout.write+flush pairs; a shared
_first_of collapses three input-then-metadata lookup ladders; runs_total
replaces an expression duplicated between ItemReport and the console renderer;
PhaseTimings.as_dict() is wired into the JSON report, which was dead code, as
was the langfuse_s field it now populates; the unused context-manager protocol
and the dead total_s are gone; _response_metadata's five copy-pasted try/except
blocks collapse to one guarded helper; summary._grade no longer writes
detail[key] for its caller to overwrite. Comment bloat trimmed where one idea
was stated four to eight times over.

The three slowest tests were time.sleep(0.3) negative assertions -- slow, and
timing-flaky on a loaded box. They now join the pool for real, which is what
would actually let a queued task start.

Behaviour preservation was checked rather than assumed: all 33 score-writing
calls were compared against the pre-refactor tree (identical modulo the
mechanical renames), as were the conversation-id expressions, the run-name
suffix policy and the dataset names. The three retargeted structural tests and
the three interrupt tests were each mutation-tested by re-breaking the code
they guard and confirming the right test fails.

SECOND SIMPLIFICATION PASS

The first pass traded duplicated logic for duplicated argument plumbing of
about the same size, so it removed only ~74 net lines. This pass went after the
plumbing:

- The eight *AssertionError classes each redeclared the same seven-attribute
  payload (and two of the eight declared `timings` while the runner getattr'd
  it from all eight). They now share an AgenticAssertionError base in
  core/models.py.
- The eight-line preamble (datetime aliases, client fallback, window_start)
  that opened every evaluate_agentic_* is one call to open_trace_window().
- RunTraceContext gained observe()/score()/quality(), so the deferred _langfuse
  import and the five-argument observe() call disappear from all eight kinds.
- Seven of eight kinds built their `detail` dict twice -- once on the failure
  path, once on success -- with nothing keeping the two literals in step.
  Hoisted to one local per kind, proven equivalent by AST comparison on both
  paths.

Across the eight agentic kinds: `__tracebackhide__` 8 -> 0, deferred `_langfuse
import (` 8 -> 0, `from datetime import` 17 -> 2, `try_make_langfuse_client` 18
-> 4, `suffix_needed` 12 -> 0, `def _link_traces` 8 -> 1.

Tests: the six recurring patch-block shapes are now file-local context
managers, 41 copies of an inline MagicMock scaffold are gone, and the three
slowest tests (0.3s sleeps used as negative assertions, flaky on a loaded box)
now join the pool for real. Suite wall time 4.1s -> 2.6s.

REVIEW FINDINGS FIXED

Eight CodeRabbit findings, each reproduced before it was touched, each now
covered by a regression test that fails when the fix is reverted:

- An item that errored after earlier runs passed reached runs_passed ==
  runs_total and was reported as pass^K -- unanimity claimed for an item whose
  last run had no verdict at all.
- The JSON report counted an errored item as both `failed` and `errored`,
  because `failed` was computed by subtraction.
- A blank `test_kind` ("") beat both structural inference and the CLI --kind
  default, so the item was skipped as an unsupported kind.
- Avg/run divided by the requested K while the Runs column showed
  runs_effective, so agentic_conversation reported a per-run latency for four
  runs that never happened. Fixed on ItemReport.avg_latency_s so the JSON
  report gets it too.
- A CLI test let _apply_judge_model write GD_EVAL_JUDGE_MODEL straight into
  os.environ without monkeypatch recording it, leaking the judge model into
  every later test.

- Ctrl-C during the batched drain could hang for the rest of the batch budget.
  cancel_futures only drops what has not started; a poll already running sits
  in find_traces_per_conversation's backoff, and the interpreter joins executor
  workers at exit. Verified in the real CLI against staging, with Langfuse
  pointed at a closed port: Ctrl-C during the drain exited after 105.4s before
  this change and 1.1s after. The linker now publishes a cancellation Event for
  the duration of one drain -- fresh per drain, so one run's interrupt cannot
  stop the next --model pass -- and the backoff is served in slices that check
  it. A set event is left in place when the drain unwinds, because
  shutdown(wait=False) returns before the workers notice and clearing it would
  send a late worker back to an uninterruptible sleep.
- Fixing the blank test_kind above introduced a second bug: _first_of returned
  the first *string* it found, so a blank expectedOutput.test_kind shadowed a
  valid metadata.test_kind. The sources are now checked one at a time.
- The README claimed both that a direct library caller gets langfuse_s = 0.0 and
  that langfuse_s is populated whenever credentials are exported. Linking does
  happen either way; only the CLI path measures its duration.

LIVE VALIDATION

Measured on staging (18 agentic_general_question items x 2 runs, gpt-5.6-luna):
--concurrency 1, master 462s vs 233s here; --concurrency 2, master 774s vs
114s. --concurrency has no effect on master's agentic path, so both master runs
did the same serial work and differed only by ingestion lag -- and one of them
orphaned two traces. Reported latency per run falls 12.7s -> 5.2s, which is not
a speedup but the removal of Langfuse polling from a number that is supposed to
measure the agent.

Pass rates unchanged: 18/18 on both trees, plus 33/33 on the 33-item guardrail
dataset. pass^K differed there (32 vs 29); re-running the three differing items
three times per tree put master at 2/3, 1/3, 2/3 and this branch at 2/3, 2/3,
2/3, so that gap is agent non-determinism on borderline refusal prompts, not a
regression.

REVIEW FEEDBACK

Rationale for the change itself has been taken back out of the source comments and
left here, where it belongs: the openai>=1.45 justification above stood duplicated
above the pin in pyproject.toml, the pass@K/pass^K asymmetry ran to a twelve-line
essay arguing its own history, and the same "keeping two literals in step was a
standing drift hazard" paragraph had been pasted into eight modules. Comments that
state a live constraint a future editor must not break -- the two ThreadPoolExecutor
shutdown notes, the PARALLEL_SAFE_TEST_KINDS invariant, the `is not None` session
filter -- are kept. Comment lines on this diff's source additions: 337 -> 301.
A ticket key that had been left in a test docstring is gone with them; the
GDAI-2179 literals that remain are Langfuse dataset names, which is what a real
one is called.

Verification: 685 pass, 0 failures -- also per test file standalone, in reverse
module order, and with GOODDATA_TOKEN, TAVERN_E2E_SKIP_TRACE_LINK,
GD_EVAL_TIMERS and GD_EVAL_JUDGE_MODEL exported. ruff check, ruff format
--check and `uv run ty` clean. Behaviour preservation was proven, not assumed:
all 41 score/observe calls and every detail dict compared against the
pre-refactor tree, 1126 assertion statements compared across 35 test files, and
the six safety-critical tests mutation-tested by re-breaking the code they
guard.

Reviewed the full diff at d4bd0e75; suite is green (685 with the llm-judge extra). The trace-linking refactor itself checks out — all eight evaluate_agentic_* take submit_trace_link and populate runs_passed/runs_effective, dataset_item_id lines up with ItemReport.id for the linker.durations lookup, no _langfuse -> _trace_linker import cycle, and the drain is always ordered before langfuse.close() and before any report renders.

Five findings inline, each with a repro. Two I'd want fixed before merge, both in the judge-validation half and both the same shape as the bug this PR exists to kill — a judge fault becoming a verdict nobody assessed:

  1. dashboard_summary can report PASS with zero mandatory criteria graded (evaluators/summary.py:110).
  2. The score_run mitigation doesn't reach the non-agentic general_question/guardrail, which the PR body and README both say it does — and since JudgeResponseError is new here, those two kinds come out of this PR with a new item-level failure mode.

One more that is a behaviour regression rather than a nit: adding session_id to _TraceAPI.list silently killed the local sessionId post-filter that was live on master.

Not raised, since the PR body already discloses them: the shared per-item link budget, and _MAX_WORKERS = 16 ignoring --concurrency. Two smaller notes: WORKSPACE_MUTATING_TEST_KINDS (cli/agentic_runner.py:80) is read by tests and named in the runner docstring but no production code branches on it (runs_in_parallel goes through PARALLEL_SAFE_TEST_KINDS); and JUDGE_MAX_COMPLETION_TOKENS is sent unconditionally with no graceful degrade, unlike temperature, so an endpoint that accepts only max_tokens (older Azure api-versions) would hard-fail every judge call — --judge-model invites non-OpenAI targets, though I couldn't confirm a concrete one in use here.

Judge faults reach every kind the same way. general_question and guardrail
called judge.score directly, so an unreadable body raised out of the runner's
K loop: the item errored while pass_at_k stayed True, and the remaining runs
never ran. Both now go through score_run and return an ungraded run; the
runner counts those in ItemReport.runs_ungraded, keeps evaluating, and errors
the item only when no run was graded. dashboard_summary returns the same shape
instead of raising, so one all-ungraded run out of K no longer errors the item.

dashboard_summary could report PASS with zero gating criteria graded: the
no-verdict guard accepted any graded bool, rubric bools included, and an
ungraded gating criterion was a no-op for `passed`. An ungraded mandatory
criterion now disqualifies the pass, and the guard keys on gating criteria.

The local sessionId filter in _fetch_traces_for_session only ran when the
client lacked the parameter, which the httpx client now declares, so a server
that ignores the parameter returned the whole window and the max-latency pick
could attach scores to a foreign trace. It is an unconditional post-check now.

The drain cancellation Event was a module global left set after an interrupt,
so a later inline link read it and broke before its first fetch, and the test
suite's order decided whether link_cancel_event() was None. It is a ContextVar
set per task on the worker thread: late workers still see it, nothing else can.

_rejects_temperature stringified a non-dict body, which for the openai SDK is
the raw response text a gateway echoes the request into. A non-dict body is
not read at all.

JSON `runs` and EvalReport.total_runs use runs_total, so agentic_conversation
no longer reports the requested K or divides one run's latency by it.
ChatClient.ask forwards item.user_context, which the single-turn path dropped.

risk: medium -- pass/fail semantics change for dashboard_summary items with an
ungraded gating criterion (PASS becomes FAIL) and for general_question /
guardrail items with a judge fault on one run (ERROR becomes PASS/FAIL over the
graded runs). Covered by 14 new tests, each verified red before the fix.

latency_breakdown (#1758) was wired into only the 9 test kinds the downstream
consumer had enabled, not the SDK's full kind catalog. This closes the gap for
metric_skill, alert_skill, agentic_search, agentic_general_question and
agentic_kda_skill -- all of which already receive real tool_call_events/
reasoning_step_events through the same chat pipeline as their wired siblings.

dashboard_summary is deliberately excluded: it calls a plain REST /summary
endpoint, not the chat/SSE pipeline, so it has no tool-call or reasoning-step
events to report at all.

Also extracts the per-turn timestamp/index rebasing -- previously hand-copied
identically across alert_skill, metric_skill, visualization and conversation,
and needed a fifth time for agentic_kda_skill's simulated-user loop -- into one
shared shift_and_index_events() in models.py. All five call sites use it, so
there is one implementation rather than five that can drift.

Tests: a two-iteration kda test asserts the real rebasing math (iteration 2's
call_ts shifted by iteration 1's turn_wall_clock_sec, tool index from 0 while
reasoning index starts from 1), plus per-run event-propagation guards for
search_tool (which still builds its result in two places) and general_question.

Rebased onto #1771, which restructured the same K-run loops: general_question
now builds all K runs and one shared detail dict in a single place, so the
propagation fix collapses to one site there; search_tool still has two.
