Rename Browser Eval references to Webstone

Browse files

The GitHub repository lexmount/browser-eval is now lexmount/webstone. Prose and links only; manifest.json, snapshots.json and definitions/ are unchanged, so pinned revisions and hashes stay valid.

317
  Report passed/evaluated counts for the declared population, unavailable results and the selected benchmark and scorer revisions. Retain failed calls and timeouts. State timing boundaries, retry policy, local or remote execution, and conversion steps; keep all-call timing separate from timing conditional on success. Optional independent verification has its own disclosed scope and does not run automatically.
318
 
319
- Live sites change with location, time, session state and access policy. The suite emphasizes task-relevant stable content, but a frozen reference can still become outdated. Investigate source drift before changing a verdict. Updating task requirements or scoring code does not retroactively update an old measurement. Record the immutable dataset commit, task/reference hashes and scorer source identity with each experiment. Detailed collection, correction and reporting rules are maintained in the [Web Fetch guide](https://github.com/lexmount/browser-eval/blob/main/src/harness/web_fetch/README.md).
320
 
321
  These are curated workloads, not a representative sample of every website. The article suite's initial-load scope does not measure hidden continuations or interaction-dependent content. Text and link checks do not measure visual fidelity or autonomous browser use. This dataset contains task inputs and requirements; it does not ship provider measurements or establish a standing browser ranking.

- LexBench-Web-Fetch was developed as the Web Fetch benchmark component of [Browser Eval](https://github.com/lexmount/browser-eval). Its task definitions retain source URLs and reference bindings. Project-authored material uses Apache-2.0. The reference texts included for evaluation keep their original language and their source terms, and the Apache-2.0 license does not cover them. To request removal or correction, open a discussion in this repository's Community tab. Full captures, screenshots, document and media files, private logs and measured provider outputs are excluded. A public URL or content hash is not permission to redistribute the underlying material. Read [THIRD_PARTY.md](THIRD_PARTY.md), [NOTICE](NOTICE) and the notices included with the selected snapshot.

334
- For search evaluation, use [LexBench-Web-Search](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Lexmount/LexBench-Web-Search). [Moli](https://github.com/lexmount/moli) is one browser that can be evaluated with Web Fetch tasks, and [WebFetch CLI](https://github.com/lexmount/webfetch-cli) is a client for a hosted fetch service.
