MATRIX_MODELS × MATRIX_AGENT_CONFIGS and the corresponding blocks at the other
reported locations to specify the text language on each opening fence, resolving
MD040 while preserving their contents.
- Line 237: Update the MATRIX_AGENT_CONFIGS table entry so the preset grammar
renders as <oc|gcli> without a backslash, using a table-safe HTML representation
or placing the grammar outside the inline code span; preserve the existing
preset description and defaults.
- Line 138: Update the --run-id option description to clarify that it only
controls run identification and artifact naming; isolation of kubeconfig, cloud
CLI, and tofu state is controlled separately by parallel execution.
- Around line 41-45: Update the agent and model selection paragraph to
distinguish the selectors: --agent-type or BENCH_AGENT_TYPE chooses the agent,
AGENT_PROVIDER chooses the provider, and AGENT_MODEL chooses the model; describe
AGENT_API_KEY only as supplying credentials, not selecting a model.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/how-to/run-evals.md`:
- Around line 12-14: Update the matrix documentation around the matrix wrapper
description and the referenced artifact sections to distinguish the arm=legacy
path from the modern path: legacy invokes pkg/evaluator/evaluate.py and copies
its run contents into the combo directory, while only the modern path invokes
python3 -m devops_bench --parallel and creates nested run_<ts>_<rid>/
directories. Qualify claims about isolated CLI processes and per-combo cluster
isolation unless the legacy evaluator explicitly guarantees them.
- Line 241: Update the BENCH_VERTEX documentation entry to clarify that it
configures Vertex credentials and environment variables but does not override
provider selection; explicitly state that AGENT_PROVIDER and JUDGE_PROVIDER
continue to select the agent and judge providers.
- Around line 309-313: Revise the parallel-run guidance near “Most failures
during parallel runs” to instruct users to inspect status, run.log, and
results.json before cleanup or retry. Recommend cleanup and retry only when
those artifacts indicate a transient infrastructure failure or stale resources,
rather than treating every exit code 1 as an infrastructure flake.
- Line 146: Update the exit-code table entry for status 2 to include
command-line usage errors from argparse, such as invalid flags or a missing
source positional argument, alongside configuration errors.

These two lines describe PR sequencing rather than the repo, so they go stale the moment #124 merges. Could this become a plain cross reference to the two skills and .agents/references/running-evals.md? The link check passes either way, it just reads oddly in permanent docs once the "separate PR" has landed.

Is there a default value for this that we can inline?

Use "cloud CLI config" for the --parallel row, mention gke-mcp only as the GKE-provider case rather than a default, and document that SKILLS_PATHS defaults to no skills.
Nothing named k8s-mcp ships with or is installed by this repo, so don't cite it; +mcp combos require MCP_SERVER_BIN to be set explicitly.

How to run evals end to end: a single task or a directory with the
devops-benchCLI (flags, env vars, exit codes), batch runs across agents × models × tasks with the matrix runner inscripts/bastion/, per-run isolation with--parallel, and the files a run writes (results.json,rows.json,manifest.json).Scoring is deliberately not documented here — it links to
docs/components/metrics.mdinstead. Command names, flags, and defaults are verified against the current CLI and scripts.Summary by CodeRabbit
