zooqueenandHanzo Dev b00044ece2 Check each recipe's answer against the obvious one
Every runner printed whatever came back and exited 0, and fell back to a
second raw HTTP call when the SDK import failed. Now each recipe carries
expect.json, the answers a careful reader gives on its own input: a list of
acceptable options for a choice, of level indices for a score, true or false
for a noul. run.py and run.ts send request.json through the SDK, print every
answer, and exit 1 when a checked one is wrong. A question with no obvious
answer on its input is printed and not checked.

Recipes 09 and 11 had no input with an obvious answer, so each state gains
the one fact that decides it. The recipe READMEs describe what each recipe
asks instead of capabilities it never exercised, and copy the request and
checked answers from the two JSON files.

Agent Progress & Loop Detection

Ask Kai whether an agent that keeps hitting the same failure is stuck, and what the runtime should do next.

Request (request.json)

{
  "model": "kai",
  "state": {
    "goal": "Make all vitest tests pass in src/lib/auth",
    "history": [
      "turn 1: ran tests -> 2 failed",
      "turn 2: edited auth.ts -> ran tests -> 2 failed (same error)",
      "turn 3: edited auth.ts -> ran tests -> 2 failed (same error)",
      "turn 4: edited auth.ts -> ran tests -> 2 failed (same error)"
    ]
  },
  "questions": {
    "is_stuck": {
      "type": "noul",
      "instructions": "Is the agent caught in an unproductive loop?"
    },
    "next_strategy": {
      "type": "choice",
      "instructions": "What recovery action should the agent runtime take?",
      "criteria": {
        "continue": "allow another turn with existing strategy",
        "rollback": "revert last changes to git HEAD and try fresh approach",
        "escalate": "pause execution and ask user for guidance"
      }
    }
  }
}

Checked answers (expect.json)

  • is_stuck (noul): P(true) above 0.5
  • next_strategy (choice): rollback or escalate

Run

From the repository root, after pip install -r requirements.txt and npm install:

curl -sS --fail-with-body https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/decisions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @recipes/04_agent_progress_eval/request.json

python3 recipes/04_agent_progress_eval/run.py
npx tsx recipes/04_agent_progress_eval/run.ts

run.py and run.ts print every answer and exit 1 when a checked answer is wrong.
