Summary

  • Every eval file under examples/ and evals/ now declares its own target, so agentv eval run works without a global --target flag
  • Added copilot, vscode, and copilot-log targets to root .agentv/targets.yaml so matrix evals and specialized evals resolve correctly
  • Updated the CI workflow (evals.yml) to discover all eval files by default and make --target optional — each eval uses its own target

Details

  • 17 eval files gained target: default (LLM-only evals)
  • 1 eval file gained target: copilot-log (copilot transcript evaluation)
  • Fixed invalid name field in benchmark-tooling eval (spaces → kebab-case)
  • Workflow default patterns now cover evals/**/*.eval.yaml, examples/**/*.eval.yaml, examples/**/*.EVAL.yaml, examples/**/EVAL.yaml

Test plan

  • bun run validate:examples — all 53 example evals valid
  • Dry-run all 278 tests across all eval files — no target resolution errors
  • Pre-push hooks pass (build, typecheck, lint, test, validate)

feat(evals): set default targets so all evals work out of the box
1026e00 
Every eval file under examples/ and evals/ now declares its own target,
so running `agentv eval run` no longer requires a global --target flag.
This lets the CI workflow run all evals without forcing a single target
(like copilot-cli) that may not suit every eval.

Changes:
- Add `target: default` to 17 eval files that were missing a target
- Add `target: copilot-log` to the copilot-log eval
- Add copilot, vscode, and copilot-log targets to root targets.yaml
- Update evals.yml workflow: default patterns cover all eval files,
  --target is now optional (each eval uses its own)
- Fix invalid name in benchmark-tooling eval (spaces → kebab-case)

feat(evals): set default targets so all evals work out of the box
ebe1688 
Every eval file now declares its own target:
- `target: default` — LLM-only evals (grading, text generation)
- `target: agent` — coding agent evals (env-var-driven via
  AGENT_PROVIDER + AGENT_MODEL, defaults to copilot-cli)
- Specialized targets (mock_agent, copilot-log, batch_cli, etc.)
  resolve via per-example .agentv/targets.yaml

Added env-var-driven `agent` target to root targets.yaml so CI and
local dev can control which coding agent runs without editing eval
files.

Tags:
- `tags: [agent]` on evals requiring a coding agent or infrastructure
- `tags: [multi-provider]` on multi-model-benchmark (excluded from CI)

Workflow changes:
- Default patterns discover all eval files across examples/ and evals/
- --target is now optional (each eval uses its own)
- AGENT_PROVIDER/AGENT_MODEL written to .env for agent target resolution
- Multi-model-benchmark excluded from default CI sweep

Other fixes:
- Removed deprecated vscode target references
- Fixed invalid name in benchmark-tooling eval (spaces → kebab-case)
- Converted matrix-evaluation from multi-target to single agent target

feat(evals): make default target env-var-driven for out-of-box evals
f74fb09 
The `default` target in root targets.yaml now resolves via AGENT_PROVIDER
+ AGENT_MODEL env vars (defaults to copilot-cli in CI). Evals without an
explicit target automatically use default, so no target field is needed.

Evals with specialized targets (copilot-log, batch_cli, mock_agent, etc.)
keep their explicit `execution.target` — these resolve via per-example
.agentv/targets.yaml files.

Tags:
- `tags: [agent]` on evals requiring a coding agent or infrastructure
- `tags: [multi-provider]` on multi-model-benchmark (excluded from CI)

Workflow:
- Default patterns discover all eval files
- --target is optional (each eval uses its own or falls back to default)
- AGENT_PROVIDER/AGENT_MODEL written to .env
- Only multi-model-benchmark excluded from default CI sweep

Other:
- Removed deprecated vscode target references
- Converted matrix-evaluation from multi-target to single default target
- Fixed invalid name in benchmark-tooling eval

fix(ci): use explicit include patterns instead of negated globs
d2102dc 
The CLI doesn't support !glob negation. List showcase subdirectories
explicitly, excluding only multi-model-benchmark.

feat(cli): support negation patterns (!glob) in eval path resolution
37a526c 
Patterns prefixed with ! are now treated as exclusions, passed to
fast-glob's ignore option. This lets CI workflows exclude specific
eval directories:

  agentv eval run 'examples/**/*.eval.yaml' '!examples/showcase/multi-model-benchmark/**'

Updated the evals workflow to use this instead of explicit include lists.

fix(ci): remove --targets override so per-example targets auto-discover
71d77a5 
The explicit --targets flag forces the root targets.yaml and prevents
per-example targets (batch_cli, mock_agent, etc.) from being found.
Let the CLI auto-discover targets.yaml by walking up from each eval file.

fix: remove deprecated workspace_template from mock target configs
df3a765 
The workspace_template field was removed from target definitions.
These mock targets relied on it but the eval files already define
workspace.template at the eval level.

feat(evals): add llm target and classify all evals as llm or agent
03f5503 
- Added `llm` target to root targets.yaml (GH Models, no agent binary)
- LLM-only evals now set `execution.target: llm`
- Agent evals omit target (falls back to default = copilot via env vars)
- export-screening uses its per-example mock target (no change needed)
- Added pi-cli install to CI workflow
- Added Gemini credentials to CI .env

fix(evals): use default (copilot) instead of pi-cli for agent evals
b2c6a78 
Changed agent-plugin-review from pi-cli to default target (copilot).

fix(ci): exclude evals with local script providers from CI
5c53635 
agent-skills-evals (missing echo.ts), batch-cli (custom runner script),
code-grader-sdk and local-cli (need uv + mock_cli.py) all require local
setup that isn't available on the CI runner.

fix(ci): add missing echo provider and install uv for local script evals
f3870d6 
- Created .agentv/providers/echo.ts for agent-skills-evals (was never
  committed — convention-based provider that echoes input back)
- Installed uv on CI runner so local-cli and code-grader-sdk evals
  can run their Python mock scripts
- Removed CI exclusions for local script evals (all deps now available)

fix(evals): make LLM eval assertions pass with generic models
d081bd6 
Strengthened system prompts so assertions pass with gpt-5-mini:
- JSON evals: explicit "no markdown, no code blocks, raw JSON only"
- equals evals: "respond with ONLY the number, nothing else"
- starts-with evals: "you MUST start every response with X"
- icontains-all evals: system prompt lists required phrases
- Removed expected_output where it served no assertion purpose
- Changed azure-llm override in basic eval to llm target

fix(evals): switch llm and grader targets to OpenRouter
f8d8e94 
GH Models rate limits (429) were failing most LLM evals. OpenRouter
has higher rate limits and built-in provider fallback.

Also excluded code-grader-sdk from CI (needs Azure keys in its
per-example targets.yaml).

fix(evals): switch per-example grader targets from azure to root grader
2a9f1c3 
Per-example targets.yaml files referenced azure-llm or azure_grader
as grader targets, requiring Azure API keys. Switched to the root
`grader` target (now OpenRouter) so all evals work with a single
OPENROUTER_API_KEY.

feat(core): add target alias support for single-env-var provider swit…
2185c65 
…ching

Targets can now use `alias` to redirect to another named target:

  - name: default
    alias: ${{ AGENT_TARGET }}   # e.g. "copilot-cli" or "claude"
    provider: mock               # placeholder, alias takes precedence

Setting AGENT_TARGET=copilot-cli makes `default` resolve to the full
copilot-cli target definition (provider, model, auth, grader_target).
Switching to claude is just AGENT_TARGET=claude — no config changes.

This sets precedent for eval frameworks: one env var switches the
entire provider config, unlike promptfoo/LiteLLM which require
per-field parameterization that breaks across different auth shapes.

Implementation:
- Added `alias` field to TargetDefinition interface and BASE_TARGET_SCHEMA
- resolveAlias() in CLI follows alias chains (max 5 depth, cycle-safe)
- Supports ${{ ENV_VAR }} syntax in alias values
- Updated root targets.yaml: default now aliases to AGENT_TARGET
- Replaced AGENT_PROVIDER/AGENT_MODEL with single AGENT_TARGET env var

feat(core): add use_target for target delegation
6438c23 
Targets can delegate to another named target via use_target:

  - name: default
    use_target: ${{ AGENT_TARGET }}
    provider: mock

Setting AGENT_TARGET=copilot-cli makes default resolve to the full
copilot-cli definition. Consistent with grader_target naming convention.
Snake_case only — no camelCase variant (YAML convention).

refactor(targets): use use_target for llm and grader targets
6936380 
Both llm and grader now delegate via use_target: ${{ GRADER_TARGET }}
instead of hardcoding openrouter. Switch grader provider with one
env var: GRADER_TARGET=openrouter or GRADER_TARGET=gemini-llm.

refactor(core): make provider optional when use_target is set
a076d4e

fix(cli): catch before_all failures per eval file instead of aborting
3441f91 
When a before_all hook fails, mark all tests in that eval file as
setup errors and continue running remaining eval files. Previously
the entire eval run would abort.

fix(core): resolve use_target chains in orchestrator for grader targets
0dd936a 
The orchestrator's resolveTargetByName() now follows use_target chains
before calling resolveTargetDefinition(). This fixes grader resolution
when the grader target uses use_target delegation (e.g., grader →
GRADER_TARGET → openrouter).

fix(evals): restore workspace.template for mock agent evals

- file-changes, file-changes-graders, functional-grading: added
  workspace.template to eval files (was previously in target config
  via the now-removed workspace_template field)
- agent-skills-evals: removed broken echo provider — these evals

8e91cdf 
…plate

The csv-analyzer eval was failing skill-trigger because:
1. The csv-analyzer skill was missing from the workspace template
2. The eval had no workspace: block so the agent couldn't see skills

Added csv-analyzer SKILL.md to .claude/, .agents/, .github/ skill
directories and added workspace: template: workspace/ to the eval.

Verified locally: 1.000 PASS with all assertions including skill-trigger.

fix(evals): make csv-analyzer skill essential with proprietary formula
707761b 
The skill now contains a "seasonal weighted revenue formula" that
the agent must apply. Without reading the skill, the agent would
report raw revenue — which fails the rubrics and icontains assertions.

This ensures skill-trigger passes reliably: the agent must read the
skill to answer correctly. Verified 3/3 passes locally.
