Codex review: needs real behavior proof before merge. Reviewed August 5, 2026, 8:08 AM ET / 12:08 UTC. ClawSweeper reviewWhat this changesThe PR adds a turn-level violation-time decomposition report to ShellBench’s posterior-dynamics pipeline, plus metadata handling and focused tests. Merge readiness⛔ Blocked until real behavior proof is added - 5 items remain Keep open: the feature is not on current main, but the unchanged branch still misattributes unlocalized violations and keeps censored runs at risk beyond their final observed turn. It also lacks the promised real archive-output proof; member involvement on the branch means stale-proof auto-close does not apply. Priority: P2 Review scores
Verification
How this fits togetherShellBench reads archived agent trajectories through its posterior-dynamics pipeline and writes benchmark reports. This PR adds a safety-violation timing analysis that consumes trajectory violations and emits per-model metrics, plots, and Markdown reports. flowchart LR

Technical reviewBest possible solution: Preserve unknown violation timing instead of fabricating a final-turn event, censor non-events at their final observed turn, add regression coverage, and then demonstrate the completed pipeline on a redacted real archive containing an observed violation. Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue? Yes, from source: a run with a forbidden non-dangerous tool or shell-pattern violation reaches the fallback event time, and a one-turn nonviolating run is kept at risk at turn two. These focused cases are not yet covered by the PR’s tests. Is this the best way to solve the issue? No; integrating the analysis is consistent with the existing posterior pipeline, but assigning unknown violations to a final turn and censoring beyond observed data is not a valid implementation of the intended statistics.

Pull request overview
Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
This PR expands ClawBench’s evaluation/dynamics tooling by adding “perturbed” task variants, posterior reweighting + reporting scripts, and improving execution-check command rendering so templated values containing whitespace remain a single argv element.
Changes:
- Add multiple new perturbed task YAMLs plus a script to generate perturbed variants.
- Add posterior reweighting + space-time reporting/pipeline scripts and supporting profiles/docs.
- Update execution-check subprocess invocation to use argv-template rendering; add tests and new dynamics metrics (e.g., Rényi proxy).

Looks like a part of prompt for perturbation was leaked into task.

thank for the review! will fix that and rerun experiment for this one.

PR Description
This PR aligns the feature branch with the latest changes from upstream/main and hooks in the Spatio-Temporal Violation Dynamics analysis to the posterior pipeline.
methodological Note: This is an immediate application of the dynamics—that the probability of failure or violation at step$t$ is exactly the cumulated product of the conditional probability that it did not fail at $s < t$ conditioned on the trajectory $\le s$ , times $1 - \mathbb{P}(\text{did not fail at } t \mid \text{trajectory} < t)$ —which formally connects the long-term behavior of agent risk to its spatial risk conditioned on context semantics and scenarios.
i.e.
which let you do a lot of things.
Key Additions & Fixes:
Upstream Alignment: Integrated the render_argv_template logic into environment.py and environment_files.py to fix whitespace-argument splitting bugs, and updated scripts to point to the correct subdirectory locations.
Violation Time Decomposition: Hooked violation_time_decomposition.py into the main pipeline. It now writes session results (violation_metrics.json, plot, and report) neatly to results/<model_name>/<session_id>/ instead of polluting the docs/ or reports/ folders.
Test Suite Stability: Created tests/conftest.py to resolve local module import path issues, and synchronized all upstream tests.
Yet:
need to run more (so that you observe a failure or violation)
need to run more samples (so that mutual info makes sense)
