The 200-draw Monte Carlo assertion can fail for a valid sampler when the set-backed population order changes. Inspect the distribution passed to random.choices and compare its expected score against uniform sampling instead. This retains the high-fitness preference check without random CI failures.

Existing OpenEvolve evaluators accept a file path, while AlphaEvolve supplies a candidate object. Add an opt-in
adapt_openevolve_evaluator(evaluate, objective_metric=...)helper that writes a single Python candidate to a temporary file and returns the nested score dictionary accepted by the upstream SDK'sAlphaEvolveExperiment.This continues the evaluator-contract work in #468 in the reverse direction. It is an independent slice; #468 remains open.
EvaluationResult, preserving numeric metric names and values.The adapter adds no Google dependency or client/authentication behavior. Export bundles, reverse configuration mapping and managed-service execution remain separate work.
Validation:
674dd5e558e917320c251c085e47fae33e1bbcff: both unchanged OpenEvolvecircle_packingandfunction_minimizationevaluators/seeds passed through the real SDK Experiment and EvaluationWorker, and the outgoing payload passed its submission model validation. A local recording transport replaced the cloud client. An intentionally invalid candidate also produced valid failure scores. No network calls, credential lookups or managed-service run were made.Developed with AI coding assistance; the implementation and validation results were reviewed before submission.
