Summary

Add tracked measurement packages with usage accounting, validated baseline bindings, and offline replay for Chat Completions and Responses. Reviewed measurements retain their cassettes, inputs, source identity, and check results so a later comparison can detect incompatible evidence instead of treating old scores as a current baseline.

The package adoption path preserves hashed bytes across Git and formatting. A runtime-only retry override lets bounded workbench runs control provider attempts without changing the desktop application's default retry behavior.

Related issue

Part of #459

This implements versioned measurements, usage accounting, baseline validation, and offline replay. It does not freeze or validate the missing original real-take baseline, and it does not complete the issue.

Type of change

  • Enhancement

Release impact

  • Minor

Desktop impact

  • Not platform-specific

Workbench tooling and the shared model configuration change; no new editor UI or installer behavior is introduced.

Screenshots / video

No visual interface change.

Testing

  • Replaced the old combined-source sample with local-pr15-scripted-control-20260913-v1, generated against this workbench branch.

  • Export, verification, offline replay, bound-baseline generation, and self-comparison completed successfully:

    npm run wb:measurement -- verify --id local-pr15-scripted-control-20260913-v1
    npm run wb:measurement -- replay --id local-pr15-scripted-control-20260913-v1
    npm run wb:measurement -- compare --left local-pr15-scripted-control-20260913-v1 --right local-pr15-scripted-control-20260913-v1
  • This sample uses a local scripted model, not a paid provider. Provider usage on that control is incomplete because the fixture responses do not include usage blocks. It demonstrates offline workflow reproducibility, not token-complete accounting or model quality.

  • Fork CI on this head passed lint, TypeScript, the unit suite, the build, and compositor/capture helper jobs.

No paid or live provider call was made for this submission.

Known limits

The original real-take fixture is absent from the checkout used for validation. Its dependent scenarios remain unavailable. This PR does not substitute synthetic results under those scenario IDs or claim a completed original-fixture baseline. The live recordings and credentials used during earlier development are not included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added offline measurement tools for exporting, verifying, replaying, comparing, and generating baselines.
    • Added cassette replay with request limits, output-token limits, usage tracking, and retry evidence.
    • Added support for OpenAI Responses API workflows alongside Chat Completions.
    • Added configurable retry limits for chat runs.
    • Added source, endpoint, transport, privacy, and artifact integrity validation.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded Workbench guidance for wire modes, record/replay workflows, measurements, usage reporting, and provenance.
  • Tests

    • Added extensive coverage for measurement, replay, transport policies, Responses API behavior, provenance, and baseline compatibility.

Measurement packages bind a baseline, record usage and replay Chat
Completions and Responses transports offline so a result can be checked
without repeating the live call.
…nest


Chat outages and shared-budget timeouts can no longer land in an adopted measurement.
…ntity


Keep failed retry attempts, recompute prompt/wire/rubric and expectedFailures, and fail closed if a Chat measurement changes concrete model.
Replay now hashes the full Chat request, so the checked-in control had to be re-recorded against the current source identity.
A transport failure before the first complete round never wrote a cassette, so the runner dropped that provider attempt. Adopt attempts from the live endpoint instead.
runner.ts is a measurement source anchor, so the checked-in control had to be re-recorded after the pre-round attempt fix.

Walkthrough

The Workbench adds Responses API support, bounded record/replay, source and transport provenance, measurement validation and adoption, bound baselines, and related CLI commands, tests, documentation, and fixtures. Chat runtime retries can now be overridden.

Measurement adoption and baselines
workbench/lib/measurement.ts, workbench/measurement-cli.ts, workbench/measurement-entry.ts, workbench/l0/measurements.wb.ts, workbench/l1/measurements.wb.ts, workbench/measurements/*
Measurements can be prepared, verified, exported, replayed, compared, and bound to baselines. Artifact hashes, identities, reviews, privacy rules, counts, and usage are validated.
Repository controls and fixture handling
.gitattributes, .gitignore, biome.json, workbench/README.md, workbench/lib/real-fixture.ts
Measurement JSON remains byte-stable, agent evidence is ignored, measurement files skip formatting, workflow documentation is expanded, and unavailable real fixtures use a named error code.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 25df5

Recorded evidence can become inconsistent with its retained result, causing misleading replay failures; Chat failure replays can also behave like successful responses. These should be corrected before merge.

Remove the run directory before the CLI runs, so a stale receipt cannot pass the test.

The test reads workbench/runs/${LABEL}/target-right-clip/replay-receipt.json after the child process exits. LABEL is a constant, so a receipt written by an earlier run of this test stays on disk. If a future change makes the CLI exit 0 without writing a new receipt, the assertions read the old file and the test passes for the wrong reason.

Remove the dependency on artifacts written by earlier tests.

This test reads ${ROOT}/native-tool-loop.json, which only the first test writes. The test at line 263 has the same dependency on ${ROOT}/non-2xx-bytes.json. A filtered run, a reordering, or a failure in the producing test makes these tests fail with ENOENT instead of a meaningful assertion.

Record the needed cassette in a beforeAll hook, or build the tamper base with writeCassette inside each test.

Pin the platform for this test.

This test changes its symlink type from process.platform without pinning the platform. Split or parameterize the platform-specific cases so each case has a fixed platform expectation. As per coding guidelines: “Anything platform-conditional (process.platform) must pin the platform in the test.”

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The test uses startRecorder with http://127.0.0.1:59999 and requires the forward request to fail before any round is recorded. A listener on that port can instead return a response, so the test can receive a recorded round and fail its assertions. The repository does not reserve this port. Use an OS-selected port and keep it occupied until the failed request completes; binding and closing it before startRecorder only replaces the collision risk with a race.

Preserve the recorded Chat HTTP status during replay

startReplay stores responseEvidence.status in httpStatus, but its Chat branch always sends and reports 200. startReplay accepts these cassettes even though assertCassettes later marks non-2xx Chat rounds incomplete. If failed rounds remain replayable, preserve their status:

🔧 Proposed fix

Adopt the cassette of the retained attempt only.

startRecorder writes its cassette file incrementally, so a failed attempt can leave a partial file behind. Lines 239-241 keep the newest existing attempt file, not the file of the attempt whose result is retained.

Failure path: attempt 0 records one round and then fails with TRANSPORT; its attempt file exists and sets successCassette. The last attempt fails before any round is recorded, so no new attempt file exists. Line 248 then writes the canonical cassette from attempt 0, while results receives the last attempt's result.

The canonical cassette and the retained result then describe different attempts. prepareMeasurementCandidate pairs cassetteFiles[rep] with results[rep], so replayMeasurement later fails with a stale round or REPLAY_MISMATCH that points at the wrong cause.

Scope the cassette to the attempt that ends the loop.
