Summary

Third PR in the PAA economic-fitness sequence, following the released worker-attribution and operating-record contracts in RankOneLabs/paa#11.

  • Adopt paa-runtime==0.4.0 and paa-contracts==0.2.0.
  • Declare the approved, separate shadow-only reply_draft task with an advisory correction-distance evaluator. Existing surfacing/canonical task declarations and authority behavior are unchanged; the new task has no reachable promotion from its initial manual position.
  • Add scout feedback report --format paa-json: released evidence and operating-record envelopes, content-addressed provenance, per-variant population/coverage, and one accounting record per attempt, including failed/superseded attempts.
  • Capture controlled worker manifests before spending, bind them into plan authorization, and reject configuration drift on retry. Preserve verified trace costs even when candidate output validation fails.
  • Price constituent candidate calls from their own model/token usage and a supplied catalog. Label these as estimates; retain raw recorded costs as unverified provenance and missing prices as unavailable.
  • Refresh the runbook, conformance tests, and generated illustrative reference evidence.

Deliberate boundaries

This is Scout schema alignment and measurement support, not a completed economic-fitness experiment. No paid sweep, production-data changes, configuration adoption, or authority transition was performed.

Acceptance rules, effective cost, and operating decisions remain unset. Before the real experiment, declare its Phase 1 qualification rule, replay acceptance rule, populations/accounting boundaries, and full-pipeline provenance. Phase 1 costs/counts must not enter a replay ratio.

Historical attempts without the captured worker manifest remain readable in existing reports but are not backfilled into attributed PAA records. Repriced exports are alternative accounting snapshots, not additional charges. Exports contain internal provenance and require review before publication.

Verification

  • uv run ruff check .
  • uv run mypy .
  • uv run pytest -q: 1,983 passed, 11 skipped
  • uv run python scripts/generate_paa_reference_evidence.py --check
  • uv build and wheel-content check for the new declaration, payload schema, and exporter
  • Web: npm run lint, npm test (748 passed), npm run build (including the real sidecar integration tests)

The existing web lockfile was unchanged. npm ci reports existing dependency audit advisories; no unrelated dependency upgrade is included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added JSON PAA replay reports with reply-draft operating and evidence records.
    • Added optional pricing-catalog support for estimating candidate usage.
    • Added shadow reply-draft replay measurement with correction-distance evaluation and controlled lifecycle policies.
    • Replay exports now include validated provenance, usage, costs, coverage, and source artifacts.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded guidance for shadow measurements, validation, pricing, provenance, and publication controls.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Failed replay attempts now retain relevant traces, costs, and call counts for accurate reporting.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a shadow-only reply_draft PAA contract and measurement schema. It records replay worker configuration, exports validated replay evidence with pricing and coverage data, and exposes the export through the feedback reporting CLI.

Changes

Reply-draft measurement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reply-draft contracts and reference evidence
contracts/paa/reply_draft.v1.yaml, contracts/reply-draft-measurement.v1.schema.json, evidence/paa/reference/..., src/scout/paa/..., pyproject.toml, tests/test_paa_*
Adds the shadow deployment contract, closed measurement schema, deterministic correction-distance producer, checked-in reference artifacts, dependency updates, and declaration conformance checks.
Replay worker configuration and failure persistence
src/scout/replay/experiments.py, tests/test_evaluation_experiments.py
Advances replay plans to version 2, persists controlled worker settings, includes them in plan hashes, and retains failed attempt evidence.
Durable replay export projection
src/scout/paa/replay_records.py, tests/test_paa_replay_records.py
Adds validated, read-only export assembly for operating records, evidence, provenance, source artifacts, pricing, coverage, trace integrity, and deterministic JSON rendering.
PAA JSON reporting and operations guidance
src/scout/cli/..., tests/test_replay_cli.py, docs/...
Adds the paa-json report format and pricing-catalog option. Documents export semantics, validation, provenance, and publication restrictions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a03d8

This adds shadow-only reply-draft measurement and PAA JSON reporting without changing authority behavior or production data. The reviewed retry-safety and documentation changes are approved, with no remaining merge-readiness risk identified.

🔵 Needs a closer look

It introduces substantial new measurement/export plumbing and retry/plan invariants across multiple subsystems, which warrants final human review despite strong test coverage.

Pull request overview

Aligns Scout’s replay/measurement pipeline with the released PAA worker-attribution + operating-record contracts by capturing controlled worker manifests, exporting PAA-shaped evidence/operating envelopes, and updating reference evidence + docs to match.

Changes:

  • Bump PAA dependencies to paa-runtime==0.4.0 and paa-contracts==0.2.0.
  • Add a new shadow-only reply_draft PAA task declaration plus a scout feedback report --format paa-json exporter that emits operating records, evidence records, and content-addressed provenance.
  • Capture and pin full worker configuration in replay plans/evidence, preserve trace-derived costs even on candidate output validation failure, and reject configuration drift on retry.

Addressed in a03d880. Removed the redundant worker-only comparison. The full current_evidence comparison remains the single drift check and includes worker_configuration before attempt execution. Updated the regression test to expect that diagnostic while retaining the assertion that configuration drift causes no database writes. Validation: 233 targeted replay, reporting, declaration, and reference tests passed; Ruff, mypy, and reference-evidence verification passed.
