evalroute flywheel

Honest size: three lanes are measured (n=10 each; arms tied at p=1.0) and six are priors from public benchmarks — not our runs. The pipe is real, the table is small, your outcomes grow it.

Configs: measured — Tier-A harness artifacts (runs.jsonl, report.csv, tasks.jsonl, models manifests); written only by harness runs, never accepts contributed rows · routes — the routes.yaml that evalroute sync pins (MANIFEST.json says what produced it) · contributed — redacted outcome rows from opted-in installs under contributed/<contributor>/ (empty in this revision).

What a contributed row carries — only this, whitelist-redacted

key what it is
kind always outcome
route_lane, route_model, route_effort the routed arm
actual_model, actual_effort, arm_attribution the arm you actually ran (only when you confirmed it)
method, confidence how the route was classified
rated pass / fail / skip (rating corrections applied)
facets counts only, e.g. {"long-doc": 1}
week ISO year-week (2026-W40) — no timestamps
task_hash HMAC-SHA256 of the task text under a per-install salt
corrected, schema correction flag; schema version

Never leaves: task text, notes, paths, hostnames, session keys, the salt, the token.

uv tool install evalroute                    # or: pip install evalroute
evalroute route --json "<one-line task>"     # -> lane, model, effort, route_id
# ... run the task on that arm, your own way ...
evalroute rate pass --route-id <id> --model <model> --effort <effort> --note "why" --json
evalroute report --json                      # what the ledger says so far
evalroute contribute --dry-run               # the exact rows that would go; grep, then drop the flag

Pooled rows are observational: they can contest a priors lane, never overwrite a measured one.
