Explanation
The pull request description is closely related to the changeset. It describes predeclared paired evaluation plans, the typed SDK and
pm rl eval plan register/show/evaluatecommands, correlation-unit means, promotion enforcement against sealed evidence, and the numerical normalization fixes. It also names the README and SDK report documentation, the test suites, and the revert proofs. The level of detail is high, but the check requires only that the description relate to the changeset.

Reviewer's GuideThis PR introduces predeclared, immutable correlation-aware evaluation plans and authoritative promotion gating, with provenance and fixed-stop evidence enforcement exposed through the SDK and CLI; it also adds a Git-independent sealed tracker-corpus workflow and bounded importance-weighted bandit fitting, alongside extensive documentation, acceptance evidence, and regression coverage.

Orchestrator review (codex review agent, reproduced finding; handed to the feature agent):
VERDICT: BLOCK
FINDINGS:
- [blocking] evaluation-plan.ts:172 — Valid large-offset rewards allow tied candidates to pass promotion because floating-point rounding erases the confidence bounds — With 100 independent units, bounds
[1e16, 1e16 + 2], confidence0.95, effect threshold0, and every candidate/incumbent outcome1e16, evaluation returnspromotedespite zero improvement.
SUMMARY: The PR adds immutable predeclared evaluation plans, correlation-unit aggregation, and promotion enforcement against original tracker history. Tests cover tampering, missing evidence, concurrency, and Git-free operation, but omit the reproduced numerical case that admits a tied successor.

Orchestrator review (built-in Claude review agent, verified by the orchestrator; bots are not waited for since 2026-10-22):
VERDICT: MERGE
FINDINGS:
- none
SUMMARY: Follow-up at af41706 fixes the blocking numerical finding: rewards are normalised before aggregation and confidence bounds, promotion requires a positive improvement, and native means are reconstructed safely near Number.MAX_VALUE, with the exact 1e16 reproduction and a multi-magnitude test among five revert-proven checks; also normalises short ids inrl eval plan show. Three release gates 719/719.

Correlated tracker episodes can inflate apparent sample size. Predeclared paired evaluation plans freeze the population, selection rule, correlation units, cohort and stopping sizes, objective/reward bounds, incumbent provenance and statistical criterion before creating the candidate or its collection runs.
The typed SDK and
pm rl eval plan register/show/evaluatereuse core Plan/Decision records. Equal-weight correlation-unit means and independent-unit counts feed the promotion bound. Plans and results are verified against original SDK creation history; candidate provenance, original collection timestamps and retained reservations are checked inside promotion's authoritative writer transaction. Recomputed current hashes cannot authenticate replacement evidence. Identical evaluation retries are idempotent; a new look requires a fresh plan/candidate. These paths work without Git. Missing or corrupt original history refuses promotion; privileged rewriting of original append-only history remains outside the trust boundary.The blocking numerical review reproduced a false promotion with 100 independent units, bounds
[1e16, 1e16 + 2], confidence0.95, effect threshold0, and all candidate/incumbent outcomes1e16. Confidence allowances disappeared when applied to the huge raw means. A balanced 50/50 endpoint cohort also falsely reported a two-point gain through accumulation rounding.evaluation-plan.ts:172(reward - lower_bound) / reward_widthbefore group means, unit means and confidence evaluation; normalize the effect threshold by the same width. The shared promotion gate computes the mean difference before subtracting uncertainty and requires strictly positive observed improvement.PRRT_kwDOTqJmqs6vYux4,index.ts:5029rl eval plan show; show the reservation before the candidate Generation exists. Default/custom prefixes return identical short/canonical output.Number.MAX_VALUE. Cover balanced outcomes, negative offsets, subnormal scales, both directions, grouped samples, powered positive controls and effect thresholds.Reported
candidate_meanandincumbent_meanretain the declared reward units; statistical verdict bounds, epsilons, margin and reason use normalized[0,1]reward units. README and SDK report documentation state this explicitly. Held-out scores still copy the exact unrounded JSON mean, comparison hash and native reward width. The shared fenced-JSON reader remains a linear forward scan with the existing 100,000-repetition/time-bound regression.Four targeted numerical tests pass 4/4. The property-style test covers 52 configurations: 13 magnitudes/offsets, both optimization directions, and 10 or 100 independent units. The final rebuilt pinned-PM snapshot suite passes 47/47 with zero failures/skips/cancellations/todos, including the expanded finite-endpoint cases. The earlier native suite also passed 47/47, with full branch coverage in both changed numerical modules. The short-ID regression passes 1/1 directly and through the pinned PM snapshot runner with default and custom project prefixes, before candidate creation.
Five behavioral function-revert proofs are recorded on the PM item: (1) restoring
evaluatePlananddecidePromotionfromb4ea1fafails the exact reproduction 0/1; (2) restoring onlyevaluatePlanfails the balanced-cohort case 0/1 with the shared-gate fix retained; (3) restoring onlydecidePromotionfails the direct tie test 0/1 with normalized evaluation retained; (4) restoring the intermediate normalizedevaluatePlanwith naive inverse conversion fails the property test 0/1, returning Infinity for a finite endpoint. (5) Reverting only the show command handler fails the real short-ID regression 0/1 witheval_plan_drift, while all numerical fixes remain. All fixes are restored afterward. Earlier creation-history and README-only revert evidence remains recorded.Verified source/test candidate:
cbba6fe592203291a44ce59eb67f99221f8457a5. The complete release matrix passes at unchanged thresholds:npm run release:check, Node 22npm run release:check, Node 26bun run release:check, Bun 1.3.14 on Node 26Every job reports 100% statements/lines/branches/functions over 49 source files, 343 documented declarations, zero production audit vulnerabilities, passing strict fresh tracker health, changelog/package checks and successful Bun package-graph installation. CodeQL passes at this same candidate. Local checks, builds, regenerated changelog/check and final prepared strict health pass; three existing local advisories remain. No dependency pins, source scope, exclusions, time bounds or thresholds changed. No timeout waiver was needed. Ignored dist was rebuilt; no dist files are tracked.
The earlier numerical-only candidate
925743dalso passed all three complete release gates 718/718 with all four coverage dimensions at 100%. Final receipt head:af4170633a4aa2a8f6e9b9bab63bb3f41c313e93. It changes PM evidence only; source/tests remain byte-identical to the verified combined candidate. CI triggered by that PM-only receipt is pending at handoff.Complete GraphQL refresh read every unresolved thread and all its comments. The latest CodeRabbit review raised the short-ID issue above and has no Outside diff range findings. Its valid finding is fixed here; the review thread is left unresolved. The numerical finding came from the orchestrator review. No review thread reply/resolution, PR merge or package release was performed.
The existing public-data validation retains 95 observations counted as one repository correlation unit and an insufficient_samples refusal. It remains descriptive replay evidence. Independence between declared units, truthful declarations, hidden correlations, external peeking and multiplicity remain experiment-design assumptions and limits. Existing shared-clone tracker advisories and the retained-runtime lint follow-up remain separately tracked.
PM: pm-rl-evalplans. Files, docs, linked real-tracker tests, numerical decisions and all revert proofs are recorded there. Claim released; the item remains in progress for orchestrator verification.
