Since the interview asks for the rules a user of the feature would see (#81), its developer hands some of its questions back as not theirs to decide (#94), and the harness counts them as questions_handed_back (#96). The report gave that measure a better way, fewer, like corrections.

The developer decided on 2026-10-07, in #94, that this is no fault of the chain. A rule of the interview precise enough to decide without judgement was specific to the host of the evaluations, and a general one was vague or wrong elsewhere. So the stop rule of the interview stays as it is, and so does the brief of 06-borrow-limit, which plays a developer who delegates. Where such a question is not asked, the blueprint is to show the assumption to confirm (#60).

What changes

The measure stays in the report as a sign to follow, and loses its better way: a move of it is told as moved, like a move of questions.

  • evals/surface_evals/report.py: questions_handed_back leaves DIRECTION.
  • evals/README.md: the report tells it and never calls it better or worse, and why.
  • tests/evals/test_report.py: holds both, and that a move either way is told as moved.

Not measured

No session was played: nothing of the chain changes, and the measure is read from the runs as before.

Closes #94

… called better or worse

Since the interview asks for the rules a user of the feature would see (#81), its developer
hands some of its questions back as not theirs to decide (#94), and the harness counts them
as `questions_handed_back` (#96). The report gave that measure a better way, fewer, like
`corrections`.

The developer decided on 2026-10-07 that this is no fault of the chain. A rule of the
interview precise enough to decide without judgement was specific to the host of the
evaluations, and a general one was vague or wrong elsewhere: the stop rule of the interview
stays as it is, and so does the brief of `06-borrow-limit`, which plays a developer who
delegates. Where such a question is not asked, the blueprint is to show the assumption to
confirm (#60).

So the measure stays in the report as a sign to follow, and loses its better way: a move of
it is told as moved, like a move of `questions`.

- `evals/surface_evals/report.py`: `questions_handed_back` leaves `DIRECTION`.
- `evals/README.md`: the report tells it and never calls it better or worse, and why.
- `tests/evals/test_report.py`: holds both.

No session was played: nothing of the chain changes, and the measure is read as before.
