Evaluation

Two strictly separated tracks. They answer different questions and their results are never mixed.

Mock tests — do they prove model quality?

No. The mock provider returns fixed synthetic answers. Mock tests prove program logic: question construction, batching, validation, thresholding, policy precedence, failure behavior, staleness, cancellation, redaction, bounds, and the DSH adapter contracts. They say nothing about Jev.

Run:

pnpm evals              # evaluation fixtures, mock mode
pnpm test               # unit + integration suites

Mock evaluation output is labeled as synthetic and exit code 1 on any mismatch, so pnpm verify catches regressions in the dataset.

Live evaluations — measure Jev behavior

TYPESAFE_API_KEY=... pnpm evals -- --live

• Requires an explicitly passed key; without it the run prints live evaluation NOT EXECUTED and exits 0. Not executed is reported as such and never as passed.
• Uses the same fixtures. Because fixtures target our reference answers, a live mismatch is a measurement datapoint, not a proven model error.
• Reports: case count, hits (agreement with fixture expectation), abstentions, errors, misdecisions, mean/p50 latency. No accuracy percentage is claimed, and no cost-savings or benchmark figures are produced.

Dataset

evals/fixtures/decisions.v1.jsonl (versioned by filename) contains 25 cases in German and English:

Case	Kind	Covers
sel-en-001	selection	unique selection across two relevant categories
sel-de-001	selection	German task, two relevant read-only categories
sel-en-002	selection	no suitable candidate → explicit abstention
sel-de-002	selection	manipulative instruction inside untrusted text; a restricted tool must never be sent
sel-en-003	selection	negation ("do not touch production") and a remediation candidate
sel-de-003	selection	negation ("do not reformat") excludes a mass mutation
asm-en-001	assessment	clear match → allow
asm-de-001	assessment	explicitly stated restriction conflict → deny
asm-en-002	assessment	missing information → ask
asm-de-002	assessment	missing required value → ask
asm-en-003	assessment	injected "ignore all restrictions" text vs. hard restriction → deny
asm-de-003	assessment	conflict between model suggestion and hard policy → deny
skill-en-001	skill	English TypeSafe/Jev task selects the typesafe-ai skill
skill-de-001	skill	German TypeSafe/Jev task selects the typesafe-ai skill
skill-en-002	skill	plain refactoring task selects no skill
asm-en-004	assessment	allow despite a top risk score (the ordinal score does not gate)
asm-de-004	assessment	German task mismatch → ask (assessment.task-mismatch)
asm-en-005	assessment	injection text inside tool arguments → deny
asm-de-005	assessment	no stated restrictions, clean call → allow
sel-en-004	selection	one tool serving two relevant categories is selected once
sel-de-004	selection	every candidate already restricted → explicit abstention
sel-en-005	selection	English negation "do not commit" keeps the mutating tool out
sel-de-005	selection	below-threshold pick → abstention with expansion candidates
skill-de-002	skill	German refactoring task needs no skill
skill-en-003	skill	low-confidence skill pick yields none

Each fixture carries an answers block for mock mode and an expect block; live mode ignores answers.

Recorded live run

Live executions, 2026-09-19, against jev-1.13.0 (jev-latest alias), with the pinned SDK 0.6.0. First run (15 cases): 15/15, mean 528 ms. After the dataset grew to 25 cases:

cases: 25, pass: 25, fail: 0
latency: mean 482.9 ms, p50 321.7 ms
abstentions: 6, errors: 0, misdecisions (vs fixture expectation): 0

A second run with a rotated authorization reproduced the result within noise: 25/25, 0 errors, mean 474.2 ms, p50 324.0 ms (both jev-1.13.0).

Reading this honestly: agreement with fixtures that were authored offline is a consistency measurement on 25 cases, not an accuracy, cost, or latency benchmark. Six cases are intentional abstentions or none outcomes. Two cases are intentional abstentions (the "no suitable candidate" selection and the "no skill needed" routing), so they can never be counted as hits in the sense of a positive classification. The run itself exercised the whole live path: request construction, the SDK transport, and response validation at the system boundary.

Re-run it yourself with your own key:

TYPESAFE_API_KEY=... pnpm evals -- --live

Threshold calibration

pnpm calibrate (mock by default, --live with an explicit key) measures every fixture once — measured values do not depend on the thresholds — and then sweeps the decision thresholds in code:

• assessment: restriction, missingInformation, taskMatch;
• selection: relevance, selection, confidence.

It reports default-threshold agreement, the best agreement, and the parameter range of every perfectly agreeing combination. Live measurement on 2026-09-19 over the 25 fixtures:

assessment: 10/10 at defaults; perfect agreement in 1428 combinations
  restriction        ∈ 0.30..0.85
  missingInformation ∈ 0.35..0.95
  taskMatch          ∈ 0.05..0.95
selection: 10/10 at defaults; best agreement 10/10 in 4320 combinations
  relevance  ∈ 0.05..0.75
  selection  ∈ 0.05..0.90
  confidence ∈ 0.05..0.80
measurement latency: mean 746 ms over 20 cases

The defaults sit inside every reported range, and the ranges are wide: with this sample size the data cannot separate values inside them. That is the honest result — a starting region, not a calibrated operating point. Mock calibration only proves the sweep plumbing; its values are synthetic.

What is not claimed

• No accuracy, savings, or latency comparison against any baseline.
• No statement about languages beyond the tested German/English fixtures.
• No claim that a live fixture expectation is ground truth.

Reproducing the numbers in the README

pnpm verify

runs, in order: frozen install, build, typecheck, both test suites (120 tests), mock evaluation (25/25), all four examples, and the packaging test (tarball install + real plugin load + consumer typecheck). pnpm calibrate is a separate, explicitly invoked analysis step (live calibration needs a key).
