feat(verification): add the git_repo_sync verifier - #146
Conversation
Several tasks are GitOps-shaped: the repository is the source of truth and the prompt asks the agent to keep it in sync with the cluster. Every existing verifier reads the cluster, so the repository half of those tasks is invisible to grading — an agent that applies manifests directly and never commits scores exactly like one that did the whole job. This reads a YAML file at a git ref and applies the same operators, the same element-wise across_matches quantification and the same quantity coercion that resource_property uses, by importing that module's helpers rather than reimplementing them: a second, subtly different answer to "does this JSONPath satisfy this operator" is how two checks that read identically start disagreeing. The document root is a list, because Kubernetes manifests are multi-document. Reading at a ref rather than from a working tree means the check works against the bare repository the fixtures seed and never depends on the agent having left a clone behind — and, deliberately, that an edit sitting uncommitted in a working tree does not count as synced. Failure modes fail closed. A missing repository, a file missing at the ref, unparseable YAML and a path that resolves to nothing are all failures rather than errors or vacuous passes, because each is indistinguishable from the agent having deleted the thing the check exists to inspect — deleting the manifest must not grade the same as removing the offending field from it. require_new_commit additionally rejects a ref still sitting on the repository's root commit, which is what "the agent never committed anything" looks like against these fixtures.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change adds repository-based YAML verification for GitOps tasks. Invalid verifier configurations can currently be accepted, and some repository read errors may be reported as failed checks instead of execution errors, which can mislead task authors and mask infrastructure problems.

…g it Every pathless route through _check returns fail: a missing repository and a missing file both fail closed, and a present one is reported as present. A task author writing `op: absent` with no `path` therefore got a check that could only ever fail, with no signal at load time. This differs from resource_property, where a pathless absent CAN pass because an empty matched-object set is itself an observation. Here there is nothing to observe, so the combination is rejected in _check_shape. `absent` WITH a path is untouched and still passes when the path resolves to nothing, which is the satisfiable form the operator exists for.

…ks for The task prompt asks the agent to migrate five workloads from a seeded git repository onto the upgraded cluster, but the spec graded exactly one thing: whether kube-dns pods were healthy. Every objective the prompt sets out was unverified, so a run that upgraded nothing and migrated nothing scored the same as one that did the work. This replaces the placeholder spec with the one the published runs were actually scored against: five git_repo_sync checks covering the migrated manifests, four resource_property checks on the upgraded workloads, and the two pod_healthy safeguards (control plane, app capacity). Requires the git_repo_sync verifier from kubernetes-sigs#146.

What this adds
A
git_repo_syncverifier: assert a JSONPath property of a YAML file inside a git repository, readat a ref via
git show <ref>:<file>.Needed by #107. That task is GitOps-shaped — the repo is the source of truth and the prompt asks the
agent to keep it in sync with the cluster — but every verifier we have reads the cluster, so the
repository half of the task is invisible to grading. An agent that applies manifests directly and
never commits currently scores exactly like one that did the whole job. This closes that gap.
Why it reuses
resource_propertyrather than reimplementingThe comparison semantics are deliberately identical: same operators, same
across_matcheselement-wise quantification, same quantity coercion. Only the source of the document differs. It
imports
_apply_op,_compile,_render_pathand_split_at_last_wildcardrather thanreimplementing them, because a second, subtly different answer to "does this JSONPath satisfy this
operator" is how two checks that read identically start disagreeing.
Design notes worth reviewing
the document array:
$[?(@.kind=='Ingress')].apiVersion.HEADby default). The check works againstthe bare repo the fixtures seed and never depends on the agent having left a clone behind.
path that resolves to nothing all FAIL rather than vacuously passing — each is indistinguishable
from the agent having deleted the thing the check exists to inspect. The one exception is
across_matches: none, matchingresource_property.Testing
20 new tests, run against real temporary git repos under
tmp_pathrather than a stubbedgit.Stubbing the subprocess here would test the mock's idea of
git show, not git's, and the refhandling is the part most likely to be wrong.
Full suite green: 1320 passed.
