Version 0.18.0 adds evidence-preserving reports, dataset and execution adapters, and explicit acceptance policies. Existing suite construction still works. Comparison gates are stricter because matching prompt text alone cannot show that cases, context, labels and recorded grader settings remained comparable.

Upgrade and choose optional integrations

Hugging Face Datasets owns loading, storage and streaming. CaseManifest records Multivon’s case identity and split provenance; it is not a new dataset platform. Inspect owns scheduling, native provider logs, viewing and recovery. Read the versioned evidence and Inspect guides.

Regenerate baselines for gated comparisons

New runs retain case_id, a case digest and immutable per-trial records. Supply stable IDs and source_id when multiple variants come from the same document or task. Changed context, labels or other case content changes the digest. Old reports remain readable for diagnostics. They cannot provide verified pairing by inventing identifiers or reconstructing missing observations. The explicit --allow-legacy-identity comparison override trusts legacy prompt matching; it is not evidence recovery and cannot repair modern reports whose trials were removed. Changed repeat counts or recorded grader, engine or calibration settings also block paired significance. Suite names and case order can change without changing the measured task. Full compatibility of opaque callbacks, helper dependencies and external services is still outside the recorded contract.

Make required checks explicit

The legacy fail_threshold gate evaluates overall case quality. For release requirements, use an AcceptancePolicy with required checks, minimum measured coverage, sample counts and tag slices. A skipped required check cannot disappear inside an otherwise passing case.
The JSON/CLI result uses accept (exit 0), reject (1), and indeterminate (2). A known quality failure can reject even if other evidence is incomplete. Policies count repeated trials within a case; they do not treat repeats as new independent cases. The default considers all recorded attempts. Select final_attempt only for an explicitly recoverable workflow with independent state assertions.

Missing traces and statistical tests

ToolCallAccuracy now distinguishes agent_trace=None (missing observation) from agent_trace=[] (observed no steps). Missing traces are skipped even when the expected tool list is empty. An observed empty trace fails if a tool was required. Callers must preserve this distinction through their adapters. Small discordant samples use an exact two-sided McNemar test; above 100 discordances the test uses a continuity-corrected approximation. Balanced directions return 1.0. A large p-value does not establish equivalence; source variants can violate independence and need grouped analysis.

Companion tools and evidence limits

The prepared eval-action v2 update consumes the same JSON acceptance policy and requires an actual synchronous model_fn in the suite module. Its INDETERMINATE verdict is a blocking exit 2 unless explicitly configured as report-only. Regenerate reports from older action versions, which evaluated a placeholder target. Publication of this action update is pending a workflow-scoped GitHub credential; do not assume the existing v1 action contains these fixes. Multivon-mcp 0.4.0 adds eval_acceptance_report; skipped/error results carry measured: false and null score/passed. Update clients that assume every response contains an ordinary binary verdict. Check each companion’s release notes before choosing a version. Native suite trials retain outputs and grader results, but complete provider requests and per-trial usage still require instrumentation. Inspect-native logs retain their own provider evidence; direct SDK judge calls outside Inspect may not be included in its budgets. Keep original logs alongside imported reports. The document workflow study records these limitations and negative results. It does not establish a model ranking or customer acceptance.
