Certified Selective Automation of LLM Agent Evaluation¶
L1 core-mechanism diagnostic. Runs a task-cluster bootstrap certificate. Mini-suite certification does not establish coverage on the paper's corpus.

Original paper¶
Motivation and method¶
Bootstrap by task cluster rather than assuming trajectories are independent. Form an upper confidence bound on error within the automated region and take over automatically only when the certificate falls below budget.

Core computation¶
The reference kernel retains the paper's decisive gates, masks, recursion, credit weights, or promotion conditions. Tests also check gradient isolation, type boundaries, and determinism.
Paper results¶
Benchmarks, speed, and training curves belong to the paper. The local three-seed mini-suite checks mechanisms and invariants, not paper-scale results or online gains.
Local reproduction¶
See the three-seed diagnostic, marked diagnostic_only=true and ineligible for formal capability ranking.
Reproduction boundaries¶
The task-cluster bootstrap certificate runs. The mini-suite certificate does not measure coverage on the paper's corpus.
