Gestion des suites de bench Darwin

---

name: harness-bench description: Manage @metaharness/darwin bench suites — bench create <repo> scaffolds a JSON suite from a repo's test corpus; bench verify <suite.json> checks suite well-formedness. Bench suites are the fixed evaluation corpora that harness-evolve --bench <suite.json> scores variants against, decoupling evolution from the repo's natural tests. Degrades gracefully when @metaharness/darwin is absent. argument-hint: "--op create --repo <path> [--out <path>] | --op verify --suite <path>" allowed-tools: Bash

Surfaces metaharness-darwin bench <create|verify> — the supporting verb for harness-evolve --bench. Use when you want evolution scored against a fixed corpus (independent of npm test) so champion fitness is comparable across commits or across forks of the same harness.

When to use

• Setting up a new evolution pipeline for a repo whose npm test is flaky, slow, or undersized — scaffold a deterministic bench suite once, then evolve against it repeatedly.
• CI: bench verify the checked-in suite on every PR that touches it (cheap; ~5s).
• Forking a harness to a new domain: copy and edit the suite to retarget the evaluation without losing comparability to the parent.

Algorithm

Implementation: scripts/bench.mjs.

--op create

1. Resolve --repo path; reject if missing.
2. Shell to metaharness-darwin bench create <repo> [--out <suite.json>].
3. Default output path: <repo>/.metaharness/bench/suite.json (chosen by upstream).
4. Suite shape (per upstream): array of { input, expectedOutput, weight } tasks derived from existing test cases.

--op verify

1. Resolve --suite path; reject if missing.
2. Shell to metaharness-darwin bench verify <suite.json>.
3. Exit 1 if any task malformed (upstream's signal).

Output shape

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "op": "verify",
    "taskCount": 42,
    "wellFormed": true,
    "durationMs": 870
  }
}

Exit codes

| Code | Meaning | |---|---| | 0 | OK (or degraded — Darwin absent) | | 1 | --op verify and suite malformed | | 2 | Config error or upstream invocation failure |

Graceful degradation

When @metaharness/darwin is absent, emits the standard {degraded: true, reason: 'metaharness-darwin-not-available'} payload and exits 0.
