fix(evaluations): Compact traces for prompt - #1274
AkhileshNegi wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
A 500-row Hindi judge run failed prompt improvement with Anthropic's "prompt is too long: 1121367 tokens > 1000000 maximum". The drafting brief shipped the raw score-trace file: json.dumps' default \uXXXX escaping inflated every Devanagari character, each duplication-factor repeat re-sent question + ground truth, and trace_id / data_type / verdict / guardrail bookkeeping rode along unused. _compact_traces_for_brief now projects traces to what the brief reads: one entry per question with repeats nested as attempts, scores reduced to name/value/comment/unscoreable, and guardrail-rewritten rows substituting input_to_llm / output_from_llm for the user-facing text. The JSON is dumped with ensure_ascii=False. Both v1 and v2 briefs describe the new shape and tell the model that score spread across attempts signals inconsistency.

Explanation
Issue
#5751reports an oversized prompt failure. The shared prompt-drafting path now groups repeated traces, removes unused trace fields, uses guardrail-adjusted text, and serializes JSON with ensure_ascii=False and compact separators. The v1 and v2 brief descriptions match the grouped trace shape. The reported tests cover trace projection and Hindi text serialization, and the PR reports 55 related tests passing.

BriefQuestion / BriefAttempt / BriefScore spell out the shape handed to the drafting LLM; _format_traces_for_brief now takes list[TraceData] and returns list[BriefQuestion] instead of untyped dicts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
TraceQuestion / TraceAttempt / TraceScoreSummary sit next to the TraceData / TraceScore vocabulary they are derived from. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Keep each attempt with its effective question.
When repeated traces share a question_id but have different input_to_llm values, setdefault keeps only the first rewritten question. The brief then presents later answers and scores as attempts at a question the model did not receive. Split these groups by effective question, or include the effective question in each attempt.

Do not send pre-redaction answers to the drafting LLM.
When an output guardrail removes sensitive text, output_from_llm can still contain that text. This projection sends the pre-redaction answer to Anthropic instead of the guarded llm_answer. Keep the guarded answer in the external brief, or apply an equivalent redaction before serialization.

Collapse the Trace* TypedDict docstrings to one line to match TraceScore / TraceData, drop comments that restate the code, and reduce _trace_score_summary to a single key filter. Replace the `is None` guard on the downloaded trace blob with `isinstance(..., list)`, which both validates the shape and narrows the type pyright flagged at the _draft_improved_prompt call.

Summary
A 500-row Hindi judge run failed
POST /api/v2/evaluations/{id}/improve-promptwithprompt is too long: 1121367 tokens > 1000000 maximum.We were sending the whole trace file to Claude as-is. This PR sends less data, so the same run now fits comfortably.
What changed in the data we send
New helper
_format_traces_for_briefinservices/evaluations/prompt_improvement.pyprepares the traces before the Claude call. Three changes:json.dumpsturns every Hindi character into a\uXXXXcode (6 characters each). That made Hindi runs several times bigger than English runs of the same size. Now we passensure_ascii=Falseso the text goes through unchanged. This is the biggest win.attempts. Bonus: the runs sit next to each other, so Claude can see when the same question gets very different scores, which means the prompt is not consistent.trace_id,data_type,verdict,category,guardrailare removed. If guardrails rewrote a question or answer, we send what the LLM actually saw and produced (input_to_llm/output_from_llm) instead of the original text, since that is what the prompt acts on.We also use compact JSON separators (no spaces), which saves about 2% more.
Numbers
Test data: 500 rows, 167 Hindi questions, each run 3 times, with 3 judge scores and Hindi comments per row. Token counts use
tiktoken(cl100k_base) as a stand-in, since Claude's tokenizer is not public. Exact numbers will differ on Claude, but the ratios hold.json.dumpsThe new shape is typed with
TraceQuestion/TraceAttempt/TraceScoreSummaryTypedDicts next to the helper. The prompt text for v1 and v2 was updated to describe the new shape. No eval data is lost. Both v1 and v2 use_draft_improved_prompt, so both benefit.Small extra: the downloaded trace file is now checked with
isinstance(traces, list)instead ofis None. This catches a bad file before the Claude call and fixes a pyright error.Checklist
