From a760d3ba147ca250b14b06cdd61d3d4f5d644cf9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brent Rager Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 21:51:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] G4: a search-quality regression suite that is proven to fail MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Closes the deterministic half of feature gap G4, and formalizes the judged half into a scored regression layer with a nightly job. Half 1 — deterministic, ungated, gates every PR. A frozen 20-document corpus is seeded through the real ingest→chunk→embed→store pipeline and a frozen 20-query labeled set runs through the real knowledge_search tool; recall@3, recall@5 and MRR are asserted against hand-written constants. There is no SMOOTH_AGENT_E2E gate, no #[cfg(feature)] and no #[ignore] — a gated suite that prints "ok. 0 passed" is a suite that did not run. The corpus exists in this shape because the first draft did not work: 13 unrelated documents scored a perfect recall@3 with every degradation still passing. It is now built around near-duplicate distractors, with half the queries targeting facts in a document's second or third paragraph, so the eval measures fact retrieval rather than topic matching. Four permanent degradation tests keep the gate's own sensitivity under test, and two production regressions were introduced by hand to verify it end to end: dropping Chunker's defaults to 60/0 took MRR from 0.975 to 0.792, and flipping one character in LexicalReranker's comparator took recall@3 from 0.975 to 0.300. Both reddened the suite; both were restored. Half 2 — every Scenario now declares a typed Competency (a required field, not a lookup table that drifts silently), and tests/regression.rs rolls all 15 scenarios into a per-competency Scorecard with its own floor, so a drop in grounding no longer averages away against a rise in tone. nightly-evals.yml sweeps a model matrix, appends each night's scorecard to a cached history rendered as a trend, and cannot go green on a skip: SMOOTH_AGENT_EVALS_REQUIRED turns a missing credential into a failure, and the gate is the cargo exit code — nothing parses a log line. --- .changeset/g4-retrieval-quality-evals.md | 13 + .github/workflows/nightly-evals.yml | 164 +++++++++ docs/Operations/Evals.md | 183 +++++++++- docs/Planning/Feature Gaps.md | 6 +- rust/Cargo.lock | 1 + rust/evals/Cargo.toml | 3 + rust/evals/src/corpus.rs | 445 +++++++++++++++++++++++ rust/evals/src/lib.rs | 215 ++++++++++- rust/evals/src/retrieval.rs | 424 +++++++++++++++++++++ rust/evals/tests/regression.rs | 179 +++++++++ rust/evals/tests/retrieval_quality.rs | 241 ++++++++++++ 11 files changed, 1862 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) create mode 100644 .changeset/g4-retrieval-quality-evals.md create mode 100644 .github/workflows/nightly-evals.yml create mode 100644 rust/evals/src/corpus.rs create mode 100644 rust/evals/src/retrieval.rs create mode 100644 rust/evals/tests/regression.rs create mode 100644 rust/evals/tests/retrieval_quality.rs diff --git a/.changeset/g4-retrieval-quality-evals.md b/.changeset/g4-retrieval-quality-evals.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..c358e153 --- /dev/null +++ b/.changeset/g4-retrieval-quality-evals.md @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +--- +'@smooai/smooth-operator': patch +--- + +Add a deterministic search-quality regression suite and formalize the judged evals into a scored regression layer (feature gap G4). + +**The half that gates CI.** `rust/evals` now ships a retrieval-quality eval that needs no LLM, no key, and no network: a frozen 20-document corpus is seeded through the real ingest→chunk→embed→store pipeline, a frozen 20-query labeled set runs through the real `knowledge_search` tool, and the ranked results are scored with recall@3, recall@5, and MRR against hand-written thresholds.
