Suites and gates

Suites, cohorts, and CI gates over local traces (Beta).

Support level: Beta

Deterministic regression tooling over local traces and workspaces.

Suites

  • Validate expectations against existing traces (suite validate / config-driven checks)
  • Aggregate status must not pass when all cases are missing evidence (all-skipped semantics)
  • Executable “fresh run” modes exist only where harness/suite run is implemented — do not assume every template executes live agents

Cohorts

  • Baseline vs candidate comparison with tolerances
  • Sample counts, missing values, and insufficient-evidence / not-comparable states
  • Not every positive delta is a regression

Gates

  • CI-oriented thresholds (error rate, duration, etc.)
  • Invalid ranges (negative / NaN / out-of-range percentages) are rejected
  • Exit codes are intended for CI fail-closed use

Artifacts

Suites/gates can emit local reports and CI summaries. Prefer share profiles before attaching to PRs.

Limitations

  • Cross-platform consumer matrix rows may still be pending in adoption evidence
  • Full golden-path automation (broken → contract → suite → Studio) is only partially covered by scripts — see GOLDEN-PATH.md
