Added synthetic unit tests only and kept `tc eval`, scoring, model/backend calls, routing/admission integration, ledger writes, and adversarial tampering tests out of scope. - Implemented CR-120 (Telemetry Lane Release Hygiene): Added a docs-only post-merge hygiene note for the completed CR-117 through CR-119 lane, marked the reviewer checkpoint/release-hygiene candidate complete, and corrected stale telemetry brief wording that could confuse the CR-114 reviewer checkpoint with the CR-119 probe validation gate. No runtime code, schemas, tests, CLI behavior, routing, ledger writes, probe execution, endpoint calls, tags, or model/backend calls were changed. - Implemented CR-119 (Local Backend Telemetry Probe Validation Gate): Added a fail-closed emission gate for local backend telemetry probe results so every `LocalBackendProbeRecord` round-trips through the CR-118 `local_backend_probe_record.v1` validator before the probe returns, renders, or writes it as an observation. The gate applies to both reachable records and fail-closed probe observations, and contract-validation failure raises `ProbeInputError` instead of producing a successful probe result. No new backend types, probe endpoints, model calls, routing integration, circuit breakers, degraded modes, ledger writes, or CLI behavior were added. - Implemented CR-118 (Local Backend Telemetry Record Schema): Added the strict `local_backend_probe_record.v1` schema and pure mapping validator for the existing local backend probe record contract, with synthetic-fixture tests covering unknown-field rejection, privacy invariant enforcement, deterministic fixture rules, closed `source_type` values, the normalized `unsupported` sentinel, and `unsupported_backend` coupling. No probe execution, endpoint calls, routing integration, ledger writes, model calls, backend calls, or CLI behavior were added. diff --git a/docs/change/requests/CR-121-eval-fixture-validator.md b/docs/change/requests/CR-121-eval-fixture-validator.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d8d9368 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/change/requests/CR-121-eval-fixture-validator.md @@ -0,0 +1,39 @@ +# CR-121: Eval Fixture Validator + +## Status + +Implemented (validator-only) + +## Summary + +Add a pure, deterministic JSONL validator for the CR-077 safety-boundary eval +fixture contract.
