[sdk/python] Let a host install its own managed-source compiler by SiddarthAA · Pull Request #829 · FailproofAI/failproofai

SiddarthAA · 2026-09-22T06:35:42Z

Summary

WorkerRuntime compiles every managed (server-authored) definition with source.compile_evaluator, the restricted single-expression sandbox. That is the right default and stays the default, but it hard-codes an assumption: that managed source is always a Python expression.

This adds one indirection so a host can serve managed definitions whose source is something else. Evaluator accepts an optional managed_compiler, and _deferred_managed_eval uses it when set. With no compiler installed nothing changes, which is every customer worker and every existing deployment.

The SDK never inspects the source. It hands the string over verbatim and stays zero-dependency.

API surface

sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/authoring.py

ManagedCompiler = Callable[..., EvalFunction]

class Evaluator:
    def __init__(self, *, name: str, version: str,
                 managed_compiler: ManagedCompiler | None = None) -> None:
        if managed_compiler is not None and not callable(managed_compiler):
            raise TypeError("managed_compiler must be callable")

The compiler mirrors compile_evaluator exactly — (source, *, timeout_seconds, eval_key) — because the runtime calls it with the same keywords and does not know the difference. ManagedCompiler is exported from failproofai_sdk.evaluator.

Runtime behaviour

sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/runtime.py

_deferred_managed_eval takes the compiler and defaults to compile_evaluator:

compile_source = compiler if compiler is not None else compile_evaluator

The thunk stays synchronous, so a sandboxed compile still runs in the runtime's sized executor with the same fork+exec sandbox and the same kernel limits as before. A compiler returning an async def simply makes the thunk return a coroutine, which _invoke already awaits on the event loop — the right place for IO-bound work, and the reason this needed no async plumbing.

Correctness fix that falls out of it

sync_function was derived from the function object:

sync_function = not inspect.iscoroutinefunction(definition.function)

That is wrong once a deferred managed thunk exists, because such a thunk is a sync callable that may return a coroutine. On timeout that case is cancelled cleanly and leaves no orphaned thread, yet it would have been counted and logged as one — sending an operator hunting a hung thread that does not exist.

_invoke now reports whether the work was awaited on the loop, via an append-only out-parameter, and the timeout handler uses that instead of inspecting the function:

awaited_on_loop: list[bool] = []
invocation = self._invoke(definition.function, session, awaited_on_loop)
...
if isinstance(timeout_error, asyncio.TimeoutError) and not awaited_on_loop:

The distinction is real: a coroutine is cancellable, a running executor thread is not, and it cannot be known from the function object alone.

Compatibility

No wire change, no protocol change, no frozen-contract edit. sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/protocol.py is untouched.
Default path unchanged. Evaluator(name=..., version=...) leaves managed_compiler is None and every managed definition still goes through compile_evaluator.
Zero-dependency guarantee intact. This change adds no imports; tests/test_zero_dependencies.py and tests/test_packaging.py pass unchanged.
Customer workers are unaffected either way: their definitions are local and never carry source.

Tests

sdk/python/tests/test_evaluator_runtime.py, two cases:

test_managed_compiler_hook_receives_source_verbatim_and_may_be_async — asserts the source arrives unparsed and unnormalised, that eval_key and timeout_seconds propagate, that an async def compiler is awaited on the loop rather than parking an executor thread, and that the result reaches submission with status=succeeded.
test_managed_compiler_defaults_to_the_sandbox_and_rejects_non_callables — no compiler installed yields managed_compiler is None and the sandbox path, and a non-callable raises TypeError.

Full suite: 1039 passed, 6 skipped. uv sync --locked is clean, uv build produces a valid wheel with py.typed and LICENSE.

Verified against the consumer

The hook exists for AgentEye's hosted managed evaluator, which installs a compiler routing on the shape of the source — a JSON envelope to a judge or a classifier, anything else to the sandbox untouched. That consumer was driven end-to-end against a wheel built from this branch:

all three definition kinds compiled and scored against live models;
unrecognised sources reached the sandbox unchanged, confirming the fall-through;
compiler-raised exceptions surfaced as named terminal failures rather than crashing the worker;
the SDK's own 40 sandbox adversarial cases pass with a compiler installed, so the hook did not become a way around the jail;
the consumer's 270-test suite passes against this wheel.

Versioning

_version.py is at 0.0.1b4, which is open and unpublished (PyPI has 0.0.1b1/b2/b3). No version change is included here; the bump is handled by the publish workflow. publish-failproofai-sdk.yml is workflow_dispatch only, so merging does not publish — dispatching it is what makes managed_compiler available as 0.0.1b4.

Documentation

Two docs commits ride along, both describing hosted model-backed evaluations for the public docs set:

docs/evaluations/judge.mdx (new) — LLM judges: when to choose one, criteria and threshold, what the judge sees, and its limits.
docs/evaluations/jev.mdx (new) — the classifier kind: the two question types, the measured rubric bounds (three to five levels, all distinct), and the result shape. Deliberately names no vendor or model.
docs/evaluations/overview.mdx — corrected. It stated that anything needing a model "runs in your own worker instead", which is false now that judges are hosted; it was directing customers to build infrastructure for a feature they already have.
docs/evaluations/judge.mdx, docs/evaluations/write.mdx, docs/docs.json — routing and nav updated for three hosted kinds rather than two.

Translations are not included; zh/ja are generated by their own flow.

Risk

Low. The default path is byte-identical, the change is additive to one constructor and one internal function, and the only behavioural change to existing code is the orphaned-thread accounting on timeout, which was previously wrong for a case that could not occur before this commit.

The authoritativ`

The SDK compiles every managed (server-authored) definition with `source.compile_evaluator` — the restricted single-expression sandbox. That is the right default and stays the default, but it hard-codes an assumption: that managed source is always a Python expression. FailproofAI's hosted worker needs to serve managed definitions whose source is a declarative judge document instead. Rather than teach the SDK what those are — a new execution mode, a wire change, a frozen-contract edit, and a dependency the SDK must never take — add one indirection: `Evaluator` accepts an optional `managed_compiler`, and `_deferred_managed_eval` uses it when set. The SDK never inspects the source. It hands the string over verbatim and stays zero-dependency. With no compiler installed nothing changes, which is every customer worker and every existing deployment. The thunk stays synchronous so a sandboxed compile still runs in the runtime's sized executor exactly as before. A compiler returning `async def` makes the thunk return a coroutine, which `_invoke` already awaits on the event loop — the right place for IO-bound work, and the reason this needed no async plumbing. One correctness fix falls out of that. `sync_function` was derived from the function object, but a deferred managed thunk is a sync callable that may return a coroutine. On timeout that case is cancelled cleanly and leaves no orphaned thread, yet it would have been counted and logged as one — sending an operator hunting a hung thread that does not exist. `_invoke` now reports whether the work was awaited on the loop, and the timeout handler uses that.

Adds `evaluations/judge` and corrects `evaluations/write`, which told readers that "LLM judges run in your own worker" — true until now, and the first thing someone would have read before giving up on the feature that exists. The page leads with the choice rather than the mechanism, because the decision that matters to a reader is "which of these two answers my question", not "what runs where". A table of worked examples on both sides, then the three fields they actually fill in. Cost is stated plainly and early: a judge is one model call per session and a code evaluation is free, so the condition is presented as part of authoring one rather than an optimisation to discover later. Documents what the judge can see — including each tool call and its result, in order — because that is what makes "did it do X before Y" a fair question, and readers otherwise assume it only sees the text. Truncation is disclosed for the same reason: a judgement made on part of a session must never read as one made on all of it. The current limits are stated with their reasons rather than hidden: no test run (a dry run has no assignment, and the assignment's lease is what authorises the spend), no backfill (it would spend a month's budget in minutes), and an exhausted budget stops judges while code evaluations keep running. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…wo pages describing a world with two A third hosted evaluation kind ships and is offered to customers by the authoring assistant, with nothing for them to read. Two existing pages described the product as it was before it existed, and one of them was flatly wrong rather than merely incomplete. `overview.mdx` said "anything that needs a model — an LLM judge scoring whether an answer was relevant, say — runs in your own worker instead". LLM judges are hosted now; that sentence sent a customer to build infrastructure for a feature they already have. Replaced with the three hosted shapes and what each returns, and the "your own worker" row narrowed to what it is actually still for: packages, secrets, your own network, a model you host. `judge.mdx` offered a two-way choice. Its table now routes the enumerable questions to the classifier and states the rule of thumb the assistant actually follows — countable to code, answers you can list to a classifier, needs an explanation to a judge. The new page is written around the two things a customer gets wrong on their own, and both limits are given with the measurement behind them rather than as house style: a rubric takes three to five levels (two collapses into the boolean type, ten makes the model hedge to the middle — 0.00 / 0.01 / 0.55 on one session), and the levels must differ (an unmistakably angry session scored 1.00 against a real rubric and 0.66 against one repeating a level). It also states the two things that separate it from a judge in daily use: there is no reasoning, deliberately, and it CAN be tested before deployment, which a judge cannot. Deliberately does not name the vendor or the model behind it. Everything a customer needs — the question types, the bounds, the result shape, the limits — is here without it, and the public set carries no implementation detail. Translations are not included: the English sources changed, and zh/ja are generated by their own flow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SDK now supports optional managed evaluator compilers and async evaluator execution tracking. The documentation adds classifier and judge evaluation guidance, updates hosted evaluation descriptions, and adds navigation entries.

Changes

Evaluator runtime and public API

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Managed compiler and async runtime `sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/...`	`Evaluator` accepts and exports an optional `ManagedCompiler`. Managed definitions use the configured compiler. Runtime timeout handling distinguishes event-loop work from executor threads.
Compiler hook and execution tests `sdk/python/tests/test_evaluator_runtime.py`	Tests verify raw source forwarding, asynchronous compiler output, default sandbox behavior, and non-callable validation.
Classifier and judge documentation `docs/evaluations/...`, `docs/docs.json`	Adds classifier and judge guides, updates evaluator comparisons and authoring guidance, and adds both pages to English navigation.

reasoning about the conversation.

Brings the branch up to date after #829 was SQUASH-merged. The squash means none of this branch's three commits are ancestors of main even though their content is, so git reported 3 ahead / 2 behind rather than merged. No conflicts: every file this branch touches already matches main byte for byte, so the merge carries only the two commits main added afterwards — the automatic version bump to 0.0.1b5 and its CHANGELOG section.
