From 17784414eb9ca3276eacba185d7fc3399f64ce4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kushtrimvisoka Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 11:25:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add an optional `decision` block to scenarios A scenario may now state its question as one closed question with a fixed set of options and, optionally, the accepted answer. The same scenario can then be run against chat models and against decision models (models that return a choice and probabilities rather than prose). - simpleaudit/decision.py: validate_decision (unknown keys raise, as for document marks), public_decision (drops the answer key) and render_decision_prompt (the question as text for chat targets). - run_scenario / run_async: validate every decision block before any request; render the question as the first prompt when a scenario has no test_prompt; pass the question without `accepted` to the target in TargetContext.extra["decision"]; pass the full block to the judge's post-processing in scenario_meta["decision"]. - scripts/check_scenario_pack.py: report invalid decision blocks as errors. - Scenario guidelines 1.2: "Decision Field" section and its row in "What reaches the models". - tests/test_decision.py: 31 tests. Scenarios without a decision block behave exactly as before. --- scripts/check_scenario_pack.py | 12 +- simpleaudit/decision.py | 138 +++++++++ simpleaudit/model_auditor.py | 25 ++ .../simpleaudit_scenario_guidelines_v1.0.md | 42 ++- tests/test_decision.py | 275 ++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 490 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 simpleaudit/decision.py create mode 100644 tests/test_decision.py diff --git a/scripts/check_scenario_pack.py b/scripts/check_scenario_pack.py index 364a529..6974b79 100644 --- a/scripts/check_scenario_pack.py +++ b/scripts/check_scenario_pack.py @@ -10,7 +10,8 @@ Exit code is 1 when any ERROR is present. tests/test_scenario_pack_conventions.py runs the ERROR-level rules in CI for the packs listed there. -Standard library only. +Standard library only, apart from simpleaudit itself (the pack registry, and the +decision-block rules in simpleaudit/decision.py).

[PATCH 2/4] Add DecisionTarget for decision models on System One endpoints Decision models (e.g. Clef served by Ollama at /v1/systemone, Jev on OpenRouter's Decisions API) read a state and typed questions and return a choice with probabilities instead of prose. DecisionTarget sends a scenario's decision block to such an endpoint and maps the answer back. - simpleaudit/targets/decision.py: builds {model, state, questions} from the decision block (without its answer key); the state is decision.state plus the text of the scenario's documents (marks are never sent), or the prompt when there is neither. Checks the option limit (2-26 by default) and the body limit (64 KiB for Ollama) before sending, sends compact UTF-8, reports endpoint errors with their message, and returns the chosen option as content ("yes: Found guilty") with the full answer in TargetResponse.decision. DecisionTarget.ollama() and DecisionTarget.openrouter() set the URL, key and limits. - TargetResponse.decision: optional, None for every other target. - ModelAuditor stores a decision answer beside the reply in the transcript, and caps a scenario at the target's max_turns (1 for DecisionTarget), warning once. - tests/test_decision_target.py: 22 tests against an httpx mock of the endpoint. Also checked against a live Clef (Ollama 0.35.1). --- simpleaudit/__init__.py | 2 + simpleaudit/model_auditor.py | 30 ++- simpleaudit/targets/__init__.py | 3 + simpleaudit/targets/base.py | 5 + simpleaudit/targets/decision.py | 211 +++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_decision_target.py | 345 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 593 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 simpleaudit/targets/decision.py create mode 100644 tests/test_decision_target.py diff --git a/simpleaudit/__init__.py b/simpleaudit/__init__.py index 51bf28d..ea98321 100644 --- a/simpleaudit/__init__.py +++ b/simpleaudit/__init__.py @@ -38,6 +38,7 @@ from .auditor import Auditor from .targets import ( CallableTarget, + DecisionTarget, HTTPAppTarget, ModelTarget, Target, @@ -94,6 +95,7 @@ "ModelTarget", "HTTPAppTarget", "CallableTarget", + "DecisionTarget", "AuditResults", "AuditResult", "get_scenarios", diff --git a/simpleaudit/model_auditor.py b/simpleaudit/model_auditor.py index 16a28fe..a59b1a4 100644 --- a/simpleaudit/model_auditor.py +++ b/simpleaudit/model_auditor.py @@ -388,6 +388,7 @@ def __init__( self.judge_postprocess = judge_postprocess self.judge_requires_expected_behavior = False self._warned_no_expectations = False + self._warned_turn_limit = False # If judge_fields is set, override the schema to only include those fields. # This takes precedence over both the config schema and explicit schema @@ -526,6 +527,25 @@ def _resolve_judge_spec( return None, None, None, True return judge_prompt, response_schema, postprocess, False + def _turns_for_target(self, turns: int) -> int: + """Cap a scenario's turns at the target's own limit (``Target.max_turns``). + + A decision model answers a question once and cannot take part in a + conversation, so ``DecisionTarget`` declares ``max_turns = 1``.

[PATCH 3/4] Add the choice_match judge: code-only grading of decision questions A scenario's decision question has an exact answer, so it can be graded in code: the chosen option against decision.accepted. No judge model is called and no judge client is created, so no judge API key is needed and the verdict is deterministic. - simpleaudit/judges/choice_match.py: reads the choice from a decision model's answer in the transcript, or the option key on the first line of a chat reply (case, leading markdown and a Key:/Answer: label ignored; longer keys first). Accepted -> pass; a wrong or unrecognised option -> the scenario's designed severity (medium by default); no accepted keys -> UNGRADED. Records choice, its source, and a decision model's confidence and probabilities. Registered as "choice_match" (output "binary"). - Judge configs may declare `grade`: ModelAuditor calls it instead of a judge model, creates no judge client, and without an auditor_model creates no auditor client either (follow-up turns then fail with a clear message). An explicit judge_prompt switches back to a model judge. The run banner shows "code ()". - reframing: PromptVariant.from_judge and rejudge refuse code-graded judges, because stored transcripts lack the scenario's decision block. - customize_judge refuses new criteria for a code-graded judge. - tests/test_choice_match_judge.py: 33 tests; registry tests list the new judge.
