Codex review: needs real behavior proof before merge. Reviewed August 3, 2026, 5:05 AM ET / 09:05 UTC. ClawSweeper reviewWhat this changesAdds first-violation timing metrics, charts, and Markdown reports to ShellBench’s posterior-dynamics pipeline, while retaining model metadata for names that contain slashes. Merge readiness⛔ Blocked until real behavior proof is added - 10 items remain This PR remains necessary because current Priority: P2 Review scores
Verification
How this fits togetherShellBench reads archived agent-run transcripts, derives posterior and regime metrics, and writes comparative benchmark reports. This PR adds a violation-timing stage that turns trajectory safety results into per-model hazard, survival, and scenario-conditioned metrics before report generation. flowchart LR

Decision needed
Why: The branch adds a new research-facing report and interpretation layer rather than repairing an established user-visible contract; maintainers need to decide whether that output belongs in the default pipeline. Before merge

Technical reviewBest possible solution: Represent violations whose triggering turn cannot be recovered as unknown or censored observations, exclude them from turn-localized hazard estimates, add focused coverage for each trajectory violation category, and attach redacted output from a real archived run before deciding whether to adopt the analysis stage. Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue? Yes, source-reproducible with high confidence: construct a run with a forbidden-tool or task-specific forbidden-shell violation and no globally dangerous command; this PR reports the last assistant turn as the event even though current trajectory data does not localize it there. Is this the best way to solve the issue? No: deriving a precise first-violation turn from an aggregate violation string is not reliable. Unknown timing should remain unknown or censored until the trajectory evaluator supplies a trustworthy per-turn event record. Full review comments:

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)
