Summary

  • Add an opt-in comparison of native tools, TraceDecay core, and existing channel variants on independently checked tasks.
  • Report matched task success, observed cost and timing variability, and artifact/setup identity without treating missing usage as zero.

Motivation

Adoption alone does not establish product value. Reproducible task and cost comparisons are needed to guide product-surface decisions while preserving prior qualified evaluations.

Changes

  • Runner: Add a held-out task cohort, native-tools condition, per-run artifact/task/fixture identities, and setup timing. Require an explicit shipping binary for baseline runs.
  • Grader: Report per-task success and invalid attempts, Wilson intervals, observed token/cache/USD/time ranges, and deltas against native runs. Optionally join the no-model efficiency scorecard only when binary SHA-256 matches.
  • Evidence: Document the opt-in run and defer dashboard, Work/Workflow, and grammar changes where required empirical measurements are unavailable.

Example, with a shipping binary built first:

TRACEDECAY_AGENT_EVALS=1 EVAL_INCLUDE_BASELINE=1 \
  TRACEDECAY_BIN=/path/to/shipping/tracedecay \
  HOSTS=claude CLAUDE_MODELS=sonnet REPS=3 \
  CHANNELS="native bare no-hints no-skills full" \
  SCENARIOS="baseline_order_stock_failure baseline_stock_check_rename baseline_currency_decision" \
  evals/agent_adoption/run.sh

Test plan

  • The affected Bazel targets pass
  • bazel build //... passes when the change crosses package boundaries
  • Tested manually (describe below if applicable)

Checklist

  • CHANGELOG.md updated (under [Unreleased] if no version bump)
  • No secrets, credentials, or .env files included
  • Breaking changes documented (if any)
