+---
+
+# Blacksmith Testbox
+
+Use Testbox when ClawBench work needs CI parity, org-level secrets, hydrated
+agent dotfiles, Docker, or a benchmark run that is too heavy for the local
+machine. Keep normal unit-test iteration local unless the user asks for
+Testbox proof.
+
+Crabbox is the sibling lane for reusable owned-capacity proof. Use
+`.agents/skills/crabbox/SKILL.md` and `.crabbox.yaml` when ClawBench needs
+AWS-backed reusable boxes or Crabbox sync/log/result inspection. Keep this
+skill focused on Blacksmith CI parity.
+
+## Warmup
+
+Run from the repository root:
+
+```bash
+blacksmith testbox warmup ci-check-testbox.yml --ref main --idle-timeout 90
+```
+
+Save the returned `tbx_...` ID and reuse it for every command in the same
+task. Stop boxes you create when done:
+
+```bash
+blacksmith testbox stop --id <ID>
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+Always invoke `blacksmith testbox` from the repo root. The CLI syncs the
+current git working tree to the remote box; running from a subdirectory can
+delete the rest of the remote checkout.
+
+```bash
+blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "python -m pytest -q"
+blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "python -m pip wheel --no-deps . -w /tmp/clawbench-wheel"
+blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "docker build -t clawbench ."
+```
+
+If a command needs HF/provider credentials or agent dotfiles, wrap it with the
+hydrated helper installed by the workflow:
+
+```bash
+blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "clawbench-testbox-env python -m pytest -q"
+blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "clawbench-testbox-env clawbench run --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 --adapter simulated"
+```
+
+## Sync Model
+
+The testbox starts from a clean checkout and installed Python environment.
+Tracked and untracked non-ignored files are synced before each `run`.
+Ignored files such as `.venv/`, `data/`, `.pytest_cache/`, and `dist/` are
+not synced. If `pyproject.toml` changes, rerun install remotely:
+
+```bash
+blacksmith testbox run --id <ID> "python -m pip install -e . && python -m pytest -q"
+```
+
+## Hydrated Secrets And Dotfiles
+
+The workflow writes non-empty provider and HF secrets to
+`~/.clawbench-testbox-live.profile`, and installs `~/.local/bin/clawbench-testbox-env`
+to source that profile. It also restores optional agent dotfiles from either
+ClawBench-specific secrets or the existing OpenClaw org-level secret names:
+
+- `~/.codex/auth.json`
+- `~/.codex/config.toml`
+- `~/.claude.json`
+- `~/.claude/.credentials.json`
+- `~/.claude/settings.json`
+- `~/.claude/settings.local.json`
+- `~/.gemini/settings.json`
+
+Prefer org-level secrets where possible; Blacksmith runner access is org-level,
+not repo-specific.

+description: Use Crabbox for ClawBench remote Linux validation, warmed reusable boxes, GitHub Actions hydration, sync timing, logs, results, caches, and lease cleanup.
+---
+
+# Crabbox
+
+Use Crabbox when ClawBench needs remote Linux proof on owned capacity, a large
+runner class, reusable warm state, or a Blacksmith alternative.
+
+## Before Running
+
+- Run from the repo root. Crabbox sync mirrors the current checkout.
+- Prefer local targeted tests for tight edit loops.
+- Prefer Blacksmith Testbox when the task explicitly asks for Blacksmith or a
+  Blacksmith-specific CI comparison.
+- Use Crabbox for broad ClawBench gates when owned AWS capacity is the right
+  remote lane.
+- Check `.crabbox.yaml` for repo defaults before adding flags.
+- Sanity-check the selected binary before remote work. Prefer the local
+  `openclaw/crabbox` checkout when present because the user PATH shim can be
+  stale: `command -v crabbox; ../crabbox/bin/crabbox --version`.
+- Install with `brew install openclaw/tap/crabbox`; auth is required before use:
+  `crabbox login --url https://crabbox.openclaw.ai --provider aws`.
+- On macOS the user config is `~/Library/Application Support/crabbox/config.yaml`;
+  it must include `broker.url`, `broker.token`, and usually `provider: aws`.
+
+## ClawBench Flow
+
+AWS/owned-capacity flow for Python tests:
+
+```sh
+crabbox warmup --class standard --idle-timeout 90m
+crabbox actions hydrate --id <cbx_id-or-slug>
+crabbox run --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --timing-json --shell -- "python -m pytest -q"
+```
+
+For commands that need hydrated HF/provider credentials or agent dotfiles, use
+the helper installed by the hydration workflow:
+
+```sh
+crabbox run --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --timing-json --shell -- "clawbench-testbox-env python -m pytest -q"
+crabbox run --id <cbx_id-or-slug> --timing-json --shell -- "clawbench-testbox-env clawbench run --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 --adapter simulated"
+```
+
+Blacksmith-backed Crabbox flow can delegate setup to the existing Testbox
+workflow:
+
+```sh
+crabbox run --provider blacksmith-testbox --blacksmith-org openclaw --blacksmith-workflow .github/workflows/ci-check-testbox.yml --blacksmith-job check --blacksmith-ref main --idle-timeout 90m --timing-json --shell -- "python -m pytest -q"
+```
+
+Stop boxes you created before handoff:
+
+```sh
+crabbox stop <cbx_id-or-slug>
+```
+
+## Owned AWS Capacity
+
+When AWS capacity is under pressure, do not start with `class=beast`.
+`beast` begins at 48xlarge instances and can burn 192 vCPU quota per request.
+ClawBench's owned-cloud default is `standard`; escalate to `fast`, then
+`large`, and only use `beast` when the work is explicitly CPU-bound and the
+smaller class already failed the goal.
+
+Keep capacity hints enabled so brokered AWS leases print selected
+region/market, quota pressure, Spot fallback, and high-pressure class warnings.
+The ClawBench repo config sets `capacity.hints: true`; use
+`CRABBOX_CAPACITY_HINTS=0` only when debugging hint rendering itself.
+
+Use `beast` only for exceptional lanes:
+
+- full benchmark sweeps where wall time is dominated by CPU, not dependency
+  install or network;
+- release/blocker validation where a maintainer explicitly asks for the largest
+  owned AWS class;
+- performance profiling where the point is to compare high-core behavior.
+
+Do not use `beast` for ordinary `python -m pytest -q`, docs-only work, small
+task repros, Blacksmith outage triage, or focused lint/type/test checks. Those
+should use `standard` first and `fast` only when the extra cores materially
+help.
+
+## Useful Commands
+
+```sh
+crabbox status --id <id-or-slug> --wait
+crabbox inspect --id <id-or-slug> --json
+crabbox sync-plan
+crabbox history --lease <id-or-slug>
+crabbox logs <run_id>
+crabbox results <run_id>
+crabbox cache stats --id <id-or-slug>
+crabbox ssh --id <id-or-slug>
+```
+
+Use `--debug` on `run` when measuring sync timing.
+Use `--timing-json` on warmup, hydrate, and run when comparing AWS and
+blacksmith-testbox timings.
+Use `--market spot|on-demand` on AWS warmup or one-shot run when testing quota
+or capacity behavior without changing `.crabbox.yaml`.
+
+## Hydration Boundary
+
+`.github/workflows/crabbox-hydrate.yml` is repo-specific on purpose. It owns
+ClawBench checkout, setup-python, pip install, provider/HF env hydration,
+agent-dotfile restoration, ready marker, and keepalive. Crabbox owns runner
+registration, workflow dispatch, SSH sync, command execution, logs/results,
+local lease claims, and idle cleanup.
+
+Do not add ClawBench-specific setup to Crabbox. Put repo setup in the hydration
+workflow and generic lease/sync behavior in Crabbox.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+Crabbox has coordinator-owned idle expiry and local lease claims, so ClawBench
+does not need a custom ledger. Default idle timeout is 30 minutes unless config
+or flags set a different value. Still stop boxes you created when done.
+If `crabbox list` prints `orphan=no-active-lease`, treat it as an operator
+review hint; do not delete `keep=true` machines without checking provider and
+coordinator state.

+# Contributing to ClawBench
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing. This document explains how to get
+set up, what kinds of contributions are welcome, and how the review process
+works.
+
+---
+
+## Getting started
+
+**Requirements:** Python 3.11+, Docker (for full end-to-end runs).
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/openclaw/clawbench.git
+cd clawbench
+python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
+python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
+```
+
+Run the test suite to confirm everything is working:
+
+```bash
+python -m pytest -q
+python -m ruff check clawbench app.py scripts tests
+```
+
+The full local suite should pass before you make any changes.
+
+---
+
+## What we welcome
+
+| Type | Notes |
+|------|-------|
+| **Bug fixes** | Include a test that reproduces the bug before the fix |
+| **New tasks** | See [Adding tasks](#adding-tasks) below |
+| **Scoring improvements** | Changes to `trajectory.py`, `scorer.py`, or `judge.py` must include updated tests and a clear rationale |
+| **Documentation** | Fixes to README, spec docs, or inline comments |
+| **Tooling / CI** | Workflow improvements, linting, dependency updates |
+
+We are unlikely to merge:
+- Large architectural rewrites without prior discussion in an issue
+- New dependencies without justification
+- Changes that reduce test coverage
+
+---
+
+## Making a change
+
+1. **Open an issue first** for anything non-trivial. This lets us align on
+   approach before you invest time writing code.
+
+2. **Create a branch** from `main`:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b fix/short-description
+   ```
+   Branch names: `fix/`, `feat/`, `docs/`, `chore/` prefixes.
+
+3. **Write tests.** Bug fixes must include a test that fails before the fix
+   and passes after. New features must include tests covering the new
+   behaviour.
+
+4. **Run the test suite:**
+   ```bash
+   python -m pytest -q
+   ```
+
+5. **Open a pull request** against `main`. Fill in the PR template.
+
+---
+
+## Adding tasks
+
+Public tasks live in `tasks-public/tier{1-5}/` as YAML files. Domain and
+partner tasks live under `tasks-domain/`. Each task needs:
+
+- A unique `id` and descriptive `name`
+- The correct `tier` (1 = simple single-tool, 5 = adversarial/multi-step)
+- `completion` checks — at least one deterministic verifier (`execution_checks`,
+  `file_equality`, or a gateway assertion)
+- `trajectory` expectations that reflect how a competent agent should approach
+  the task
+- A `judge` rubric for semantic tasks
+
+Before submitting a new task, run it against at least one agent to verify the
+completion checks fire correctly.
+
+---
+
+## Commit style
+
+```
+type: short imperative summary (≤72 chars)
+
+Optional longer explanation. Wrap at 72 chars. Explain *why*, not what —
+the diff shows what changed.
+```
+
+Types: `fix`, `feat`, `docs`, `test`, `chore`, `refactor`.
+
+---
+
+## Code style
+
+The project uses Ruff and pre-commit for local guardrails. Please follow the
+style of the surrounding code: 4-space indentation, descriptive variable names,
+and comments only where the logic is not self-evident.
+
+```bash
+python -m ruff check clawbench app.py scripts tests
+pre-commit run --files <changed files>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Reporting bugs
+
+Use the [bug report template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md). Include:
+- The command you ran
+- The full error output or unexpected behaviour
+- The Python version and OS
+
+---
+
+## Questions
+
+Open an issue for questions that are not bug reports or feature requests.

+## What's new in Core v1 (2026-04-20)
+
+A reproducibility-first public release of the benchmark, informed by a full 8-model, 1,080-run sweep audit and five new methodology layers that most agent benchmarks simply don't have:
+
+| Innovation | What it means | Why it matters |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Signal-curated task set** | 19 tasks selected from 40-task dev pool by greedy SNR-preserving elimination | Drops tasks where seed noise exceeds capability signal (21 such tasks exist in the raw 40) |
+| **Variance decomposition** | Measures and reports seed-noise vs capability-signal ratio per task | **47% of 40-task variance is seed noise** — we quantify it; most benchmarks hide it |
+| **Dynamical-systems diagnostics** | Per-run regime classification (trapped / limit-cycle / diffusive / mixed) | Reveals *how* agents fail, not just whether. Inspired by Markov-kernel / attractor-basin framework |
+| **Constraint Index C(q)** | Principled task-weighting via participation ratio + entropy + Bayes prediction | Distinguishes "everyone converges" from "everyone diverges" tasks — enables honest weighted ranking |
+| **Reproducibility-first infrastructure** | Per-container state isolation, judge-infra rejudge pipeline, documented OpenRouter-routing caveats | Eliminates the cascading-failure / silent-judge-error patterns that bias most agent benchmarks |
+
+All of it lives in `scripts/` and `tasks-public/` — auditable code, not opaque numbers.

-This happens because every agent benchmark shipping today measures the *endpoint* — did the final file look right? — but throws away the *journey*. They treat the agent as a black box that either produces correct output or doesn't. One run, one number, move on.
+Beyond that, most benchmarks don't tell you:
+- Whether the gap is signal or noise
+- Which tasks actually discriminate models and which are coin-flips
+- How the agent *dynamically* fails — attractor, limit-cycle, goal drift
+- Whether re-running gives the same ranking (spoiler: on most benchmarks, no)
+- What's driving your score — the model, the plugin stack, or the harness version
 
-But that's not how users experience agents. Users experience:
-- **Reliability** — does it work 3 out of 3 times, or 1 out of 3?
-- **Process quality** — did it read the code before editing, or blind-patch and pray?
-- **Safety** — did it `rm -rf` something it shouldn't have?
-- **Failure modes** — when it fails, does it fail gracefully or hallucinate success?
-- **Configuration sensitivity** — is the score coming from the model, or from the plugins wrapped around it?

-
 | Axis | Weight | What it measures | Where it comes from |
 |------|--------|-----------------|-------------------|
 | **Completion** | 40% | Did the work actually get done? | Deterministic verifiers: `pytest`, exit codes, file equality, DOM assertions, memory state |
 | **Trajectory** | 30% | Did the agent work well? | Trace analysis: read-before-write ratio, self-verification, recovery after failure, tool-family fit |

+Findings from the v4-19-full sweep audit:
+- **Only 52.7% of run_score variance is real capability signal**; 47.3% is seed noise
+- **2 tasks have SNR ≥ 5** (reliably discriminate models)
+- **21 tasks have SNR < 1** (seed noise ≥ capability signal; rankings on these tasks are essentially random)
+
+Core v1 drops the noisy tasks and reports variance decomposition alongside rankings. This is the level of rigor most benchmarks don't attempt.
+
+### 3. Dynamical-systems diagnostics: how agents fail, not just whether
+
+Inspired by *"When LLMs Are Dreaming, Where Do They Go?"* — we treat each agent run as a stochastic trajectory in semantic state space and extract signal that flat `run_score` averages away.
+
+Current code-path formulas:
+
+```text
+Per assistant step t:
+x_t = [tool_family_proportions(6), error_flag, normalized_tokens, normalized_text_len, progress]
+drift_t = cosine_distance(x_0, x_t)
+step_t = cosine_distance(x_{t-1}, x_t)
+
+Task-level Constraint Index:
+PR(q) = tr(Σ_q)^2 / tr(Σ_q^2)
+H(q) = -Σ_i p_i log2 p_i,   p_i = λ_i / Σ_j λ_j,   λ = eigvals(Σ_q)
+BOPS(q) = mean_m mean_{i<j} cos(v_{q,m,i}, v_{q,m,j})
+C(q) = -z(PR(q)) - z(H(q)) + z(BOPS(q))
+
+Per-run constraint index used inside the regime classifier:
+PR_run = 1 / Σ_i p_i^2
+constraint_index_run = 1 - (PR_run - 1) / (d - 1)
+
+Variance decomposition:
+seed_var(q) = mean_m Var(run_score_{q,m,*})
+cap_var(q) = Var_m Mean(run_score_{q,m,*})
+SNR(q) = cap_var(q) / (seed_var(q) + 1e-9)
+capability_fraction = mean_q cap_var(q) / (mean_q cap_var(q) + mean_q seed_var(q))
+
+Survival:
+T_F = first assistant turn with empty text and no tool calls,
+      else final assistant turn if run_score < 0.7 and delivery_outcome in {fail, partial}
+S(t) = P(T_F > t)
+h(t) = P(T_F = t | T_F >= t)
+```
+
+Implemented regime classifier in `clawbench/dynamics.py`:
+
+```text
+trapped      if H_tools < 0.5 or (error_rate > 0.6 and std(drift) < 0.05)
+convergent   if std(drift_last_quartile) < 0.1 and mean(step_last_quartile) < 0.15 and error_rate < 0.2
+diffusive    if H_tools > 1.5 and error_rate < 0.15 and constraint_index_run < 0.8
+chaotic      if H_tools > 2.0 and var(step[1:]) > 0.02
+limit_cycle  if max autocorr(centered step[1:], lags 2..5) > 0.3
+unknown      otherwise, or <3 assistant turns
+```
+
+The task-level `C(q)` uses a normalized bag-of-words response vector built from the full assistant trajectory text plus tool-call names and compacted inputs, not just the last assistant turn.
+
+From the v4-19 sweep data:
+- **Gemini 3.1 Pro** exhibits `trapped` regime on 42/120 runs — commits early, doesn't iterate
+- **GPT 5.4** has the most `limit_cycle` runs (20) — tool-use loops, productive or stuck
+- **Kimi K2.5** dies at median turn 3 (worst survival); **GPT 5.4** survives to turn 8 at 60% rate (best)

+- **Shared state dir contamination** — accumulated `agents/` cruft across sequential sweeps caused `RPC agents.create timed out` cascades. Fixed via per-container `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` isolation (`scripts/container_sweep_single.sh`).
+- **Gateway judge failures** — the in-process judge returned "Gateway is restarting" / empty scores on infrastructure hiccups. Fixed via direct-API rejudge pipeline (`scripts/rejudge_all.py`).
+- **OpenRouter provider routing** — slug `z-ai/glm-5.1` canonically routes to different backing models over time. GLM 5.1 scored 0.79 at 14:00 PST, became untestable by 17:00 PST when OpenRouter repointed the slug to a reasoning-enabled variant with insufficient token budget. Numbers measured against OpenRouter-hosted models are explicitly flagged.
+- **Platform version drift** — OpenClaw 4.9 → 4.15-beta.1 shifted scores by +0.13 to +0.29 across all models. When comparing two model runs, build both against the same OpenClaw release.
+
+All of these are documented in code + commit messages. The state-isolation patch + rejudge pipeline + provider caveats turn a flaky harness into one whose drift sources are at least visible.

 **Adversarial tier.** Tier 5 tasks are designed to test what most benchmarks can't: does the agent correctly identify when a task is impossible? Does it resist hallucinating evidence that doesn't exist? Does it handle contradictory instructions gracefully? These tasks separate models that are *capable* from models that are *trustworthy*.

+w_q = max(0, SNR(q)) × |C(q)|
+w_q^wins = min(w_q, p95({w_q}))

+Under SNR × |C(q)| winsorized on the same 1,080-run archive, **Opus 4.7 ranks #1** (instead of Opus 4.6 under flat mean) and **GPT 5.4 drops from #3 to #7** — its task-specific cliffs (0.16 on `t3-feature-export`) fall on the highest-signal tasks. This exposes what the flat mean averages away.

+
+## Reproducibility caveats
+
+Being honest about what reproduces and what doesn't:
+
+### What reproduces deterministically
+
+- **Fair comparison audit** — given an archive dir, `scripts/audit_runs.py` produces identical numbers every time.
+- **Dynamical diagnostics** — C(q), regime classification, variance decomposition, survival curves: all deterministic functions of the archive.
+- **Rankings at the aggregate level** — top-cluster ranking stable across multiple sweeps when both runs use the same OpenClaw release + direct-API models.
+
+### What drifts
+
+- **Absolute scores** — seed noise is ~0.02 stddev per task per model. Expect run_score to drift within that envelope.
+- **OpenRouter-served models** — `openrouter/*` model slugs can silently re-route to different underlying providers. We observed GLM 5.1 at 0.79 then 0.33 within hours as OpenRouter flipped its backing provider. Pin to canonical versions (e.g., `z-ai/glm-5.1-20260406`) for stable measurement.
+- **OpenClaw platform drift** — 4.9 → 4.15-beta.1 shifted scores by +0.13 to +0.29 across all models. 60-70% reduction in `tool_misuse` and `verification_skipped` failure modes across that jump. Pin the base to reproduce published numbers.
+
+### Mitigating the drift
+
+Build both sides of any comparison from the same source state:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t clawbench .
+docker run --rm --entrypoint openclaw clawbench --version
+# -> records the OpenClaw version of THIS build
+```
+
+When publishing scores, record the OpenClaw version your image
+resolved to and treat numbers from a different version as separate
+populations.

 ### Running locally with small models (Ollama)
 
-A single consumer GPU running an open-weight model through
-[Ollama](https://ollama.com) is enough to develop plugin profiles, validate
-algorithmic ideas, and submit scored results — no API keys or cloud spend
-required.
-
-Profiles tested locally can still be submitted as pull requests with
-reference results. The built-in GitHub Actions workflows in this repo only
-run the test suite and deployment sync, so treat local Ollama numbers as
-contributor-side evidence unless a maintainer separately reruns them on
-other infrastructure.
+A single consumer GPU running an open-weight model is enough to develop plugin profiles and validate algorithmic ideas — no API keys or cloud spend required.

-**Reference contributor-side results** (gpt-oss:20b, RTX 4090, Docker sandbox, network=none):
+### Running on Kubernetes
 
-| Scope | Score | CI | Completion | Trajectory | Behavior |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| Tier-1 (6 tasks × 3 runs) | 0.397 | 0.346–0.447 | 0.056 | 0.522 | 1.000 |
-
-High trajectory/behavior but low completion — the model uses tools correctly
-but writes to wrong paths or misses format constraints. This gap is where
-profile-level improvements (workspace-aware prompts, path-checking pre-flight
-calls, retry wrappers) have the most leverage.
-
-### Version control checkpoints
-
-Git is already the source of truth for this repo, but the safest workflow is:
+See [`docs/kubernetes.md`](docs/kubernetes.md) for the full runbook. The short
+version:
 
 ```bash
-# Start risky work on its own branch
-git switch -c codex/<short-topic>
+export CLAWBENCH_NAMESPACE=clawbench-eval
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."       # or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENROUTER_API_KEY, etc.
+export CLAWBENCH_MODEL="openai/gpt-5.5"
+# export MLFLOW_NAMESPACE="mlflow"   # MLflow deploys in a separate namespace (default: mlflow)
 
-# Commit small checkpoints as you go
-git add -A
-git commit -m "Checkpoint: describe the working state"
-
-# Mark a known-good version with an annotated tag
-python3 scripts/git_checkpoint.py "before-profile-tuning"
-
-# Push the branch and tags so recovery is not only local
-git push -u origin HEAD
-git push origin --tags
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh              # deploys OpenClaw + MLflow + starts eval
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --logs       # follow progress
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --teardown   # tear down openclaw & eval (does not delete MLflow)
 ```
 
-The checkpoint script refuses to tag a dirty worktree by default, so every saved version points at a reproducible commit instead of a half-finished local state.
-
-### Docker (recommended for reproducibility)
-
-```bash
-docker compose up -d
-# Submit jobs via the Gradio UI at http://localhost:7860
-```
+API keys are stored in a Kubernetes Secret created by the deploy script.
+MLflow is deployed in its own namespace (default: `mlflow`, configurable via
+`MLFLOW_NAMESPACE`).

+## Submission presets
+
+The Submit tab now exposes two preset audiences so the Space can serve both general Claw users and lower-budget exploratory runs:
+
+- `Claw Users` keeps the full preset catalog, including provider-backed frontier models.
+- `Budget Researchers` narrows the list to local or lower-cost presets such as `ollama/gpt-oss:20b`, `ollama/qwen3.5:27b`, `huggingface/Qwen/Qwen3-32B`, and `huggingface/google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it`.

+"""Agent adapter ABC and associated data shapes.
+
+An `AgentAdapter` is the execution counterpart to a `CanonicalTask`. It
+is the only place where framework-specific details (OpenClaw gateway
+RPCs, Hermes `MiniSWERunner`, Claude Code SDK, etc.) live. Everything
+downstream of the adapter — trajectory analysis, scorer, judge, stats —
+consumes a canonical `Transcript` and `TaskRunResult` produced by the
+adapter, so those modules stay unchanged across adapters.
+
+Lifecycle per task run:
+
+1. Harness instantiates `adapter = AdapterClass(config)`.
+2. `async with adapter as adapter:` — starts subprocesses / websockets
+   / whatever this adapter needs to hold open across a run.
+3. `await adapter.setup(ctx)` — realizes seed state, workspace files,
+   background services, pre-run state queries.
+4. For each `CanonicalPhase`: `await adapter.run_phase(phase, ctx)` —
+   drives the simulated user against the agent, returns a
+   `PhaseResult` with the transcript increment.
+5. For each `StateQuery` in `task.verifier.state_queries`:
+   `await adapter.verify_state_query(query, ctx)` — returns whether
+   the assertion held, or that the adapter lacks the capability.
+6. `await adapter.teardown(ctx)` — cleans up agent-side state (the

+"""Hermes agent conversation → ClawBench `Transcript` converter.

+
+```json
+{
+  "conversations": [
+    {"from": "system", "value": "..."},
+    {"from": "user", "value": "..."},
+    {"from": "assistant", "value": "I'll look at the file.\\n<tool_call>{\\"name\\":\\"bash\\",\\"arguments\\":{\\"cmd\\":\\"ls\\"}}</tool_call>"},
+    {"from": "tool", "value": "<tool_response>{\\"stdout\\":\\"file.py\\"}</tool_response>"},

+  ],
+  "completed": true,
+  "api_calls": 7,
+  "metadata": {...}
+}
+```
+
+This module parses that into a canonical `Transcript` with
+`TranscriptMessage` + `ToolCall` entries so the scorer / trajectory /
+judge layers can score the run without any Hermes-specific knowledge.
+
+The XML parsing is deliberately tolerant: Hermes transcripts observed
+in the wild sometimes have malformed JSON inside `<tool_call>` tags
+(trailing commas, unescaped newlines). We fall back to a permissive
+regex extraction in that case so a single bad tool call doesn't tank
+the whole transcript.

+"""Canonical task schema — agent-agnostic intent.
+
+This is the Phase-4 split of `TaskDefinition` (see CLAWBENCH_V0_4_SPEC.md
+§"Canonical Task Schema"). The canonical layer expresses **what** a task
+is — its identity, prompts, assets, and verification contract — without
+saying **how** it gets executed. The "how" (gateway RPCs, session
+lifecycle, tool-family normalization) lives in per-adapter code under
+`clawbench/adapters/`.
+
+The rule of thumb:
+
+- If a field describes what the user asked for, what files/state the
+  agent is expected to produce, or what the run must satisfy to pass,
+  it belongs here.
+- If a field describes how OpenClaw's gateway is called to drive the
+  run or read back state, it belongs in the OpenClaw adapter (and the
+  canonical version of that check is a `StateQuery` with a
+  `required_capability`).
+
+Converting from `TaskDefinition` → `CanonicalTask` is lossless for fields
+that have a canonical equivalent; OpenClaw-only fields (like
+`pre_check_gateway` and `gateway_assertions`) survive as `StateQuery`
+entries tagged with `AdapterCapability.GATEWAY_RPC`, so adapters that
+support them can still resolve them while adapters that don't can cleanly
+report a capability gap.

+# Running ClawBench on Kubernetes

+ClawBench runs as a **sidecar** in the OpenClaw gateway pod. The sidecar
+connects to the gateway over loopback (`ws://localhost:18789`), runs the
+19-task eval suite, and optionally logs results to MLflow.
+
+```

+│  clawbench sidecar  ──► gateway via loopback │

+   Model provider API         MLflow (optional)
+```
+
+All commands use `scripts/k8s/deploy.sh`. The script has these modes:
+
+| Flag | What it does |
+|------|-------------|
+| *(none)* | Full deploy: OpenClaw + MLflow + eval sidecar |
+| `--openclaw-only` | Deploy OpenClaw gateway only |
+| `--mlflow-only` | Deploy MLflow only |
+| `--add-sidecar` | Inject clawbench sidecar (starts eval) |
+| `--remove-sidecar` | Remove clawbench sidecar |
+| `--logs` | Tail sidecar logs |
+| `--teardown` | Delete eval namespace (keeps MLflow) |
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- `kubectl` on PATH, connected to a cluster (`kubectl cluster-info` succeeds)
+- A container image for ClawBench (see [Building images](#building-images))
+- At least one model provider API key (`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, etc.)
+
+For local testing with Kind:
+https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/docs/install/kubernetes.md#local-testing-with-kind
+
+---
+
+## Environment variables
+
+Set these **before** running `deploy.sh`.
+
+### Required
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `CLAWBENCH_NAMESPACE` | Namespace for OpenClaw + eval (e.g. `clawbench-eval`) |
+| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | Model provider key (or use another provider — see table below) |
+
+### Optional
+
+| Variable | Default | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|---------|
+| `CLAWBENCH_IMAGE` | `quay.io/sallyom/clawbench:latest` | ClawBench sidecar image |
+| `OPENCLAW_IMAGE` | `ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest` | OpenClaw gateway image |
+| `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` | *(generated by script)* | Gateway token; set this when attaching the sidecar to an existing gateway |
+| `CLAWBENCH_MODEL` | `openai/gpt-5.5` | Model to evaluate |
+| `MLFLOW_NAMESPACE` | `mlflow` | MLflow namespace |
+| `MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI` | *(deployed by script)* | External MLflow URI — skips MLflow deploy if set |
+| `MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_ID` | | MLflow experiment ID |
+| `MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME` | `clawbench` | MLflow experiment name |
+| `MLFLOW_IMAGE` | `ghcr.io/mlflow/mlflow:v2.21.3` | MLflow server image |
+| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | | Added to K8s secret if set |
+| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | | Added to K8s secret if set |
+| `GEMINI_API_KEY` | | Added to K8s secret if set |
+| `OPENAI_API_BASE` | | Base URL for OpenAI-compatible endpoints (e.g. vLLM, Ollama); patched into gateway config |
+
+### Model routing
+
+The gateway routes by provider prefix:
+
+| Model string | Required variables |
+|-------------|-------------------|
+| `openai/gpt-5.5` | `OPENAI_API_KEY` |
+| `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6` | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` |
+| `openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6` | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` |
+| `openai/my-local-model` | `OPENAI_API_KEY` + `OPENAI_API_BASE` |
+
+For OpenAI-compatible endpoints (vLLM, Ollama, TGI, or any in-cluster model
+server), set `OPENAI_API_BASE` to the endpoint URL and use the `openai/`
+prefix for the model name:
+
+```bash
+export CLAWBENCH_MODEL="openai/meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B"
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="none"  # dummy value if the endpoint doesn't require auth
+export OPENAI_API_BASE="http://vllm-service.my-ns.svc.cluster.local:8000/v1"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Full deploy (quick start)
+
+Deploys OpenClaw gateway, MLflow, and the eval sidecar in one command.
+
+```bash
+export CLAWBENCH_NAMESPACE=clawbench-eval
+
+# Export API keys before running. The script stores them in a K8s Secret
+# ("clawbench-secrets") that the gateway and sidecar containers read.
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+
+# Model to evaluate (default: openai/gpt-5.5)
+# export CLAWBENCH_MODEL="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"
+
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+# Should show 2/2 containers (gateway + clawbench)
+kubectl get pods -n clawbench-eval
+
+# Follow eval progress
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --logs
+```
+
+When the eval finishes, copy results and clean up:
+
+```bash
+# Copy results from the sidecar
+POD=$(kubectl get pod -n $CLAWBENCH_NAMESPACE -l app=openclaw -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
+kubectl cp "$CLAWBENCH_NAMESPACE/$POD:/results/benchmark.json" -c clawbench ./benchmark.json
+
+# Remove the sidecar (keeps OpenClaw + MLflow running)
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --remove-sidecar
+
+# Or tear down everything
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --teardown
+```
+
+---
+
+## Existing cluster + existing MLflow
+
+If you already have an OpenShift or Kubernetes cluster and an MLflow instance,
+you only need to deploy OpenClaw and run the eval — no cluster or MLflow setup
+required.
+
+```bash
+export CLAWBENCH_NAMESPACE=clawbench-eval
+
+# API keys — export before running deploy.sh. The script creates a
+# Kubernetes Secret ("clawbench-secrets") from whichever keys are set.
+# At least one provider key is required.
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+# export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+# export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-..."
+# export GEMINI_API_KEY="..."
+
+# Model to evaluate (default: openai/gpt-5.5)
+export CLAWBENCH_MODEL="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"
+
+# If attaching to an existing OpenClaw gateway, this must match that gateway.
+# If deploy.sh creates OpenClaw, it generates this token for you.
+# export OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN="..."
+
+# Point to your existing MLflow
+export MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI="https://mlflow.example.com"
+export MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME="clawbench-gpt5.5"  # or use MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_ID=42
+
+# Deploy OpenClaw gateway into your cluster
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --openclaw-only
+```
+
+Verify OpenClaw is running:
+
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n clawbench-eval
+# Expect: openclaw-xxxx  1/1  Running
+```
+
+Then start the eval:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --add-sidecar
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --logs
+```
+
+The deploy script sets `MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI` to skip its own MLflow deployment
+and patches the experiment name/ID into the clawbench ConfigMap. When the eval
+completes, `scripts/log_to_mlflow.py` logs results to your MLflow under that
+experiment.
+
+`MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME` creates the experiment if it doesn't exist.
+`MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_ID` requires an existing experiment.
+
+---
+
+## Step-by-step deploy
+
+Use this when you want to deploy components individually or bring your own
+OpenClaw/MLflow.
+
+### Step 1: Deploy OpenClaw gateway
+
+```bash
+export CLAWBENCH_NAMESPACE=clawbench-eval
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --openclaw-only
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n clawbench-eval
+# Expect: openclaw-xxxx  1/1  Running
+```
+
+This deploys from `scripts/k8s/openclaw/`: a single gateway pod with token
+auth, ClusterIP service, and 10Gi PVC. The deploy script generates a gateway
+token and creates the `clawbench-secrets` Secret automatically.
+
+**Skip this step** if you already have an OpenClaw deployment. Your existing
+gateway must have this config (see `scripts/k8s/openclaw/configmap.yaml`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "browser": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "headless": true,
+    "noSandbox": true,
+    "ssrfPolicy": {
+      "allowedHostnames": ["localhost", "127.0.0.1"]
+    }
+  },
+  "tools": {
+    "profile": "coding",
+    "alsoAllow": ["browser"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Key requirements:
+- `browser.enabled: true` — activates the bundled browser plugin
+- `tools.alsoAllow: ["browser"]` — the `coding` profile does NOT include browser by default
+- `browser.ssrfPolicy` — several eval tasks need localhost access
+- Gateway must bind to loopback with token auth; export the matching
+  `OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN` before running `--add-sidecar`
+
+### Step 2: Deploy MLflow
+
+```bash
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --mlflow-only
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n mlflow
+# Expect: mlflow-xxxx  1/1  Running
+```
+
+Deploys a single-replica MLflow server with SQLite backend into the `mlflow`
+namespace. The clawbench ConfigMap defaults to
+`http://mlflow-service.mlflow.svc.cluster.local:5000`.
+
+**Skip this step** if you have an external MLflow — set `MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI`:
+
+```bash
+export MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI=http://my-mlflow.example.com:5000
+export MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_ID=4  # or MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME
+```
+
+### Step 3: Run the eval
+
+```bash
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --add-sidecar
+```
+
+This patches the OpenClaw deployment to inject a clawbench sidecar that:
+
+1. Waits for the gateway (TCP check on port 18789, up to 3 min)
+2. Checks MLflow connectivity if configured
+3. Runs `clawbench run` with settings from the ConfigMap
+4. Logs results to MLflow on success
+5. Sleeps indefinitely so you can retrieve logs and results
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n $CLAWBENCH_NAMESPACE
+# Expect: openclaw-xxxx  2/2  Running  (gateway + clawbench)
+
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --logs
+# Should show "Waiting for gateway..." then "Starting eval..."
+```
+
+When finished, remove the sidecar:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --remove-sidecar
+```
+
+---
+
+## ConfigMap tuning
+
+The clawbench ConfigMap (`scripts/k8s/manifests/configmap.yaml`) controls eval
+behavior. Override at deploy time via env vars, or patch after deploy:
+
+| Key | Default | What it controls |
+|-----|---------|-----------------|
+| `CLAWBENCH_MODEL` | `openai/gpt-5.5` | Model under test |
+| `CLAWBENCH_RUNS` | `3` | Runs per task (19 tasks x 3 = 57 total) |
+| `CLAWBENCH_CONCURRENCY` | `4` | Parallel eval lanes |
+| `CLAWBENCH_JUDGE_MODEL` | *(empty)* | Separate judge model (optional) |
+| `CLAWBENCH_TASKS` | *(empty — runs all)* | Space-separated task IDs (e.g. `t1-bugfix-discount t2-config-loader`) |
+| `CLAWBENCH_CONNECT_TIMEOUT` | `120` | Gateway connect timeout in seconds |
+| `CLAWBENCH_REQUEST_TIMEOUT` | `300` | Per-request timeout in seconds |
+| `CLAWBENCH_PER_RUN_BUDGET_SECONDS` | `600` | Max wall time per run |
+| `MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI` | `http://mlflow-service.mlflow.svc.cluster.local:5000` | MLflow endpoint |
+| `MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME` | `clawbench` | MLflow experiment name |
+
+---
+
+## MLflow integration
+
+Results are logged via `scripts/log_to_mlflow.py` after a successful eval.
+
+**What gets logged:**
+- **Params**: model, provider, benchmark version, OpenClaw version, judge model
+- **Metrics**: overall score, per-axis scores (completion, trajectory, behavior,
+  reliability), cost, tokens, latency, CI bounds, per-tier and per-task scores
+- **Tags**: submission ID, timestamp, certified flag
+- **Artifacts**: full benchmark result JSON
+
+---
+
+## Building images
+
+### ClawBench image
+
+`quay.io/sallyom/clawbench:latest` is public
+
+For Kubernetes, use the lightweight sidecar image instead — it only includes
+the eval harness and MLflow client:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t clawbench:latest -f scripts/k8s/Dockerfile .
+
+# For Kind clusters, load directly instead of pushing to a registry:
+kind load docker-image clawbench:latest --name openclaw
+
+# For non-Kind clusters, push to registry and set CLAWBENCH_IMAGE accordingly
+# Ensure you build for the right architecture, usually amd64 for non-local k8s
+```
+
+Set `CLAWBENCH_IMAGE=clawbench:latest` when running `deploy.sh` to use it.
+
+---
+
+## Cleanup
+
+```bash
+# Remove eval sidecar only (keeps OpenClaw + MLflow running for another eval)
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --remove-sidecar
+
+# Delete eval namespace (keeps MLflow running)
+./scripts/k8s/deploy.sh --teardown
+
+# Delete the Kind cluster entirely
+kind delete cluster --name openclaw
+```

-Following "When LLMs Are Dreaming..." §What We Expect to See:
+We embed each assistant turn using bag-of-words text plus tool-call summaries,
+then compute simple geometric proxies:
 
-  TRAPPED/ATTRACTOR   — low support (Vol_log), high recurrence, high BOPS.
-                        Agent converged to a point; may be good (solved it)
-                        or bad (got stuck in a loop on a single idea).
+    drift_mean = mean ||x_t - x_{t-1}||
+    from_start = max ||x_t - x_0||
+    recurrence = max cosine(x_i, x_j) for non-adjacent turns
+    vol_log    = log det(Sigma + eps I)
 
-  LIMIT-CYCLE         — high recurrence + bounded drift + quasi-periodic revisits.
-                        Agent loops between a few states.
-
-  DIFFUSIVE/WANDERING — growing support, rising drift, low recurrence.
-                        Agent explores without converging; often "goal drift".
-
-  SENSITIVE           — (requires paraphrased-pair runs; skip here.)
-
-  TOO-SHORT           — trajectory < 3 assistant turns; can't classify dynamics.
-
-We work in a TF-IDF bag-of-words embedding space (same vocab as C(q)),
-with each turn's state vector = its assistant text + tool-call args.
-
-Metrics per run:
-  - drift_mean:  mean ||e_t − e_{t−1}|| across turns
-  - from_start:  max ||e_t − e_0||  (farthest the run drifted from origin)
-  - recurrence:  max_{i<j, j−i≥2} cos(e_i, e_j)  — best return-after-gap match
-  - vol_log:     log det(Σ + εI) over turn states — support volume proxy
-
-Classifier rules (tuned empirically on the distribution):
-  if n_turns < 3                              → too_short
-  elif drift_mean < 0.15 and vol_log < −6     → trapped
-  elif recurrence > 0.80 and drift_mean < 0.25 → limit_cycle
-  elif drift_mean > 0.35 and vol_log > −3     → diffusive
-  else                                         → mixed
-
-Output: reports/regimes.json with per-run classification.
-
-Usage:
-    .venv/bin/python3 scripts/classify_regimes.py
+Runs are then bucketed into coarse regimes such as trapped, limit_cycle, and
+diffusive using quartile-based thresholds estimated from the observed archive.

-"""Compute Constraint Index C(q) per task from existing v4-19-full archive.
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+"""Compute posterior Constraint Index C(q) from cached runs.
 
-Following "When LLMs Are Dreaming..." paper §Query-design:
+Task-level constraint index:
 
-  C(q) = z(PR(q)) + z(entropy(q)) + z(BOPS(q))
+    C(q) = -z(PR(q)) - z(H(q)) + z(BOPS(q))
 
 Where:
-  - PR(q): participation ratio = (tr Σ)² / tr(Σ²) of response embeddings
-           across all (model, run) responses to query q. Low PR = everyone
-           writes similar thing (prompt is constrained). High PR = responses
-           spread out (prompt is open-ended).
-  - entropy(q): Shannon entropy of (discretized) response-feature distribution.
-  - BOPS(q): Bayesian Optimal Prediction Score — how well can we predict
-             response given q? Proxied here as inter-run cosine similarity
-             for the same model (high similarity = high predictability).
 
-Since we don't have sentence-transformers, we use TF-IDF-style bag-of-words
-from the final assistant message per run. This is crude but measures the
-same signal — whether models produce similar vs divergent output.
+    PR(q)   = participation ratio of the task response covariance
+    H(q)    = Shannon entropy of the covariance eigenspectrum
+    BOPS(q) = within-model inter-run predictability proxy
 
-Output: reports/constraint_index.json with per-task C(q) components +
-        combined z-score.
+High C(q) means a task is more constrained: models and repeated runs tend to
+land in a narrower response manifold. Low C(q) means the task is more open or
+stylistically underconstrained.
 
-Usage:
-    .venv/bin/python3 scripts/compute_constraint_index.py
+This implementation uses a normalized bag-of-words representation built from
+the full assistant trajectory text plus tool-call names and compacted inputs.

-"""SNR × |C(q)|-weighted ranking — the dynamical-systems-informed metric.
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+"""SNR x |C(q)| weighted ranking from posterior cached runs.
 
-Motivation: from variance_decomp.py we know 47% of run_score variance is
-seed noise. From compute_constraint_index.py we know some tasks are
-high-constraint (everyone converges) and others are open-ended (responses
-diverge for style reasons, not capability).
+Weighted headline score:
 
-Weighted mean:
-    w(task) = SNR(task) × |C(q)(task)|
-    score(model) = Σ_task w(task) · mean_run_score(task, model) / Σ_task w(task)
+    w(q) = max(0, SNR(q)) * |C(q)|
+    score(model) = sum_q w(q) * mean_run_score(model, q) / sum_q w(q)
 
-Why:
-- High SNR tasks contribute more than low-SNR tasks (noise-weighted)
-- |C(q)| amplifies tasks that are either strongly constrained OR strongly
-  open-ended (i.e. measures what they're supposed to measure, regardless
-  of polarity)
-- Moderate C(q) tasks (C near 0) are inherently ambiguous — down-weighted
+We also report:
 
-Outputs:
-  - Per-model weighted score
-  - Comparison against flat-mean ranking
-  - Published to reports/snr_weighted_ranking.json
+    snr_only              = SNR-weighted mean
+    snr_x_abs_cq          = SNR x |C(q)| weighted mean
+    snr_x_abs_cq_winsorized = same, but top task weights are clamped at p95
+
+This keeps noisy low-SNR tasks from dominating and upweights tasks whose
+response geometry suggests a stronger capability signal.

-"""Per-turn survival analysis: when do agent runs fail?

-Following paper §Latent-state survival:

-  S(t) = P(T_F > t)   — survival function
-  h(t) = P(T_F = t | T_F ≥ t)  — hazard rate
+For each run, define a failure time T_F as the first assistant turn where the
+agent emits neither text nor tool calls, or the final assistant turn of an
+unsuccessful run with delivery outcome in {fail, partial}.
 
-For each run, we define FAILURE as the first turn where:
-  (a) the assistant emits no text AND no tool calls, OR
-  (b) the run's delivery_outcome is 'fail'/'partial' AND the transcript
-      ended at this turn (no more assistant turns follow).
+We then estimate:
 
-T_F = assistant-turn index of first failure (starting at 1).
-If the run succeeded (run_score ≥ 0.7), T_F is right-censored at the
-final turn count N (i.e. survived the whole trajectory).
+    S(t) = P(T_F > t)
+    h(t) = P(T_F = t | T_F >= t)
 
-Output per model:
-  - Median turn-to-failure
-  - Empirical survival curve S(t) for t = 1..20
-  - Hazard profile h(t)
-  - Stratified by task-constraint bucket (using C(q) from earlier)

+# ClawBench Domain Suite
+
+`tasks-public/` is the small public Core v1 set. `tasks-domain/` is the
+coverage scaffold for the larger proof corpus: the domains served by most
+agent SaaS products, expressed as deterministic benchmark work.
+
+The claim this suite is meant to support is:
+
+> A capable model plus a general agent harness plus the right plugins can
+> cover the task domains that most agent SaaS products sell.
+
+This is intentionally not a clone of vendor products. It is a taxonomy of
+jobs, state transitions, and verifier contracts.
+
+## Domains
+
+| Domain | Representative jobs | Required plugin surface | Verification style |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| CRM | lead enrichment, account updates, meeting notes to opportunities | browser, CRM API, docs, search | API state assertions, fixture diffs |
+| Support | ticket triage, macro draft, escalation, refund lookup | browser/API, knowledge base, email | ticket state, cited evidence, policy checks |
+| Email and calendar | thread summarization, scheduling, follow-ups | mail, calendar, contacts, memory | event state, draft content, no-duplicate checks |
+| Docs, sheets, slides | spreadsheet cleanup, deck edits, document redaction | file, office docs, charting | structural file assertions, rendered diffs |
+| Project management | issue grooming, sprint updates, dependency tracking | PM API, repo, docs, notifications | issue state, links, blocked/unblocked status |
+| Finance ops | invoice reconciliation, expense coding, budget variance | spreadsheets, accounting API, OCR | ledger deltas, numeric tolerances, audit trail |
+| Data analytics | SQL, dashboard explanation, ETL patch, anomaly report | database, notebooks, BI API | query results, chart spec, report content |
+| Security admin | access review, incident timeline, secret rotation plan | identity, logs, repo, policy docs | policy state, log-derived evidence, refusal gates |
+| Ecommerce ops | catalog updates, order exception handling, promo QA | storefront API, spreadsheet, browser | product state, order workflow, price checks |
+| Devtools | repo migration, CI fix, release note, dependency update | shell, git, code, package registry | test pass, diff assertions, changelog checks |
+| Research | web evidence, citation synthesis, source contradiction | browser, web search, docs | citation verifier, no-fabrication checks |
+| Personal ops | travel, household planning, health/wellness admin | calendar, browser, memory, docs | constraint satisfaction, state updates |
+
+## Proof Standard
+
+Each domain task should declare:
+
+- `domain`: one of the domains above
+- `job`: the user-facing job being covered
+- `saas_equivalents`: examples of products whose core workflow overlaps
+- `plugin_requirements`: tool families and state surfaces needed
+- `deterministic_floor`: the verifier that must pass before any judge score
+- `holdout_variant_policy`: how private variants are generated
+- `ablation_axis`: which plugins or harness capabilities the task tests
+
+## Minimum Bar
+
+For a credible first domain release:
+
+- 12 domains
+- 5 task templates per domain
+- 3 private variants per template
+- 3 runs per configuration
+- at least 4 configuration classes:
+  - model only
+  - model plus harness
+  - model plus harness plus core plugins
+  - model plus harness plus domain plugins
+
+That yields 60 public templates and 180 private variants before repetitions.
+The public templates explain coverage; the private variants carry the proof.

+## Build the Docker image

+```bash
+docker build -t clawbench .

+
+The repo `Dockerfile` pins an OpenClaw image digest so public Space
+builds do not silently drift. Override `OPENCLAW_IMAGE` only when you
+intend to measure a different platform build. Note that platform
+upgrades can shift scores (we observed +0.13 to +0.29 per model going
+from 4.9 → 4.15-beta.1) — when comparing two model runs, build them
+against the same OpenClaw release.
