Summary

Clean-cutover to schema-v2 harness records (see PLAN.md):

  • Canonical records: schemas/records.py with QuestAction/QuestSnapshot/ProgressState/QuestTransition/ResumeLineage/RunRecord; strict nested domains (run, quest, treatment, lineage, terminal, usage, progress, transitions, transcript_diagnostics). Runtime readers reject legacy flat records; only core/migration.py understands them.
  • Deterministic TS bridge: structured state/jump/load commands, engine saving restore, quest-derived engine seed, deterministic performedAtMs, snapshot digest verification.
  • Runner/replay/resume: one transition per action, explicit TRUNCATED outcome, replay + resume verification before model inference, lineage preservation, active checkpoint stack separate from history. CLI: --resume-from PATH, --max-steps N.
  • Persistence: strict schema-v2 SQLite tables (runs, transitions) with FKs and ordinals; usage/terminal/progress/diagnostics stored separately; legacy upgrades removed.
  • Migration: llm-quest migrate-records --source PATH --output PATH for legacy SQLite / JSON / results trees.
  • Progress tracking: curated YAML manifests (Boat), scored vs unscored progress, monotonic percentage, milestones.
  • Harness specs/signatures (harnesses/specs.py): material descriptions, stable canonical-JSON treatment signatures; legacy shims removed.
  • New harnesses: backtracking (exact restore, restore_limit) and adaptive_reasoning (stall-triggered deeper reasoning).
  • Config: configs/benchmarks/exp8_recovery_harnesses.yaml.
  • Consumers updated: CLI analysis, benchmark execution, analyzer, reports, leaderboard, replay/import scripts, web trace viewer.

Removed: schemas/state.py, legacy inference maps and config-key shims, random-run suppression, legacy DB fallbacks.

Verification

  • uv run ruff check .: clean
  • NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider uv run pytest -q -rs: 370 passed, 4 skipped (quests not downloaded)
  • Real Boat flow: random run truncated after 4 transitions -> replay verified -> resumed to 6 transitions with lineage/treatment/state preserved

llm_quest_benchmark/core/leaderboard.py (1)

369-372: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Normalize the result-row treatment through _run_treatment.

Line 369 assigns result_row.get("treatment") directly. If a benchmark summary stores that value as a JSON string, and no correlated db_run supplies a dict, _mode_from_treatment calls .get on a string and raises AttributeError. _run_treatment already handles both shapes.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-            treatment: dict[str, Any] = result_row.get("treatment") or {}
+            treatment: dict[str, Any] = _run_treatment(result_row)

llm_quest_benchmark/core/progress.py (1)

118-120: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Reject manifests for a different quest before scoring.

QuestRunner loads the manifest without the active quest, and ProgressTracker.observe() evaluates its milestones against every snapshot without checking ProgressManifest.quest. A manifest for another quest can therefore leave progress scored=True at 0.0 when no predicates match. Compare the manifest quest with the active quest, including resumed runs, and raise a clear error on mismatch.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`:
- Around line 197-199: Update the article before adaptive_stall_steps in the
architecture documentation from “a” to “an,” leaving the surrounding description
unchanged.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/core/benchmark_report.py`:
- Around line 171-175: Handle invalid run-summary records per file instead of
aborting the full build: in llm_quest_benchmark/core/benchmark_report.py lines
171-175, wrap RunRecord.from_dict in _parse_run_insight with ValueError handling
and retain the DB-row usage, progress, and empty transitions on failure; in
llm_quest_benchmark/core/leaderboard.py lines 379-386, apply the same handling
in generate_leaderboard while retaining the DB-row usage, metrics, and progress.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/core/logging.py`:
- Around line 414-439: Update finish_run to call _init_connection() immediately
before using the shared thread-local cursor for the run update, ensuring the
cursor and connection match the logger’s configured database. Preserve the
existing commit, JSON export, and finalization flow after successful updating.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/core/migration.py`:
- Around line 164-181: Update _legacy_response so it never fabricates a missing
action: preserve an explicit legacy action of 0, otherwise use action_index when
available, and represent the remaining unknown action explicitly according to
the existing LLMResponse contract. If action must be populated, record the
missing field through the transition’s unavailable_fields mechanism rather than
defaulting to 1.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/core/provenance.py`:
- Around line 26-51: Update engine_revision so uncommitted changes in
ENGINE_ROOT are represented in the returned identifier, either by including the
source digest or explicitly marking the repository dirty; keep clean committed
revisions distinguishable. Correct the function docstring to say the digest
fallback applies when git is unavailable or the checkout is not a repository,
not to dirty or detached states.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/core/replay.py`:
- Around line 131-141: Update the manifest validation in the replay flow around
manifest_path, recorded_hash, and load_progress_manifest so that a recorded
manifest hash with a missing manifest file raises ReplayError instead of leaving
manifest as None and continuing unscored. Preserve the existing hash-mismatch
rejection for manifests that are present.
- Around line 164-166: Update harness_config_from_record so a null
compaction_interval from recorded knobs falls back explicitly to the default
interval before conversion, while preserving the existing handling of valid
configured values. Use the compaction_interval mapping in
harness_config_from_record as the change point; do not alter build_treatment or
_legacy_treatment.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/core/runner.py`:
- Around line 111-117: In the timeout handling flow, wait a bounded amount of
time for the worker future to finish after invoking
runner.request_stop("timeout") and before calling logger.finish_run. Preserve
timeout finalization even if the worker does not stop within the bound, while
ensuring finish_run aggregates the most complete stable record available.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/environments/qm.py`:
- Around line 128-140: Update _forced_stop_snapshot() so the synthesized
terminal snapshot is marked non-replayable instead of retaining a resumable
saving state; use the existing QuestSnapshot availability/status mechanism and
preserve the forced-stop terminal fields.
- Around line 114-126: The loop detector currently counts restored checkpoint
states, causing false failures after backtracking. Update the state-history
handling used by _detect_state_loop so it tracks only states produced by
executed choices, and reset or truncate that tracking history during
restore/load-saving before the next step checks it; preserve legitimate loop
detection for newly executed states.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/environments/state.py`:
- Around line 12-23: Update calculate_summary_stats and print_summary to include
QuestOutcome.TRUNCATED in overall and per-model outcome counts and rates. Ensure
truncated runs are counted in the summary categories and that print_summary
displays their count and rate alongside the existing outcomes.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/harnesses/backtracking.py`:
- Around line 105-107: Update the action-selection flow around get_action and
_get_action_impl so a single available choice is not auto-selected when
skip_single is true and context.restore_allowed is true; allow _get_action_impl
to inspect checkpoints and return a restore action in that case, while
preserving existing auto-selection when restore is unavailable.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/harnesses/base.py`:
- Around line 352-378: Use the canonical live transition-bookkeeping path
consistently: update rebuild_from_transitions in
llm_quest_benchmark/harnesses/base.py:352-378 to replay each persisted
transition through that path instead of duplicating decision-memory updates,
update the exception fallback choices in
llm_quest_benchmark/harnesses/adaptive.py:105-115 to use the same rule, and
apply it separately to restore transitions and exception fallback choices in
llm_quest_benchmark/harnesses/backtracking.py:173-187. Preserve equivalent
memory, history, and decision-state behavior between uninterrupted and resumed
execution.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/players/random.py`:
- Around line 31-32: Update RandomPlayer initialization and
parse_random_choice_seed so seeded harness identifiers remain mutually
compatible: either reject negative seeds before constructing harness_name, or
extend the shared parser to accept signed numeric suffixes. Preserve existing
behavior for nonnegative and unseeded random_choice identifiers.

In `@llm_quest_benchmark/schemas/records.py`:
- Around line 190-207: Update QuestSnapshot.from_dict to recompute the digest
from the reconstructed snapshot state and compare it with the persisted payload
digest; reject loading by raising the established validation error when a
non-empty stored digest differs. Preserve normal loading for matching digests
and the existing behavior for records without a digest.

In `@scripts/import_human_trace.py`:
- Around line 80-81: Update the choices_map sorting in the import flow to handle
non-numeric choice keys without an unhandled ValueError. Validate or safely
convert keys before sorting, and report a clear import error for invalid keys
while preserving numeric-key ordering and normal choice construction.

In `@site/traces.html`:
- Around line 524-527: Escape the imported step.index value before interpolating
it into the item.innerHTML template in the trace-rendering flow. Reuse the
existing esc() helper so the step number remains displayed as text and cannot
inject markup.

leaderboard flow to pass result_row.get("treatment") through _run_treatment,

behavior and ensure treatment is normalized to a mapping before

compare ProgressManifest.quest with the active quest before evaluating
milestones, including resumed runs; raise a clear mismatch error and prevent
