Summary

Eval runs now call the Anthropic Messages API directly instead of creating Octavus agent sessions.

Changes

The interesting part is lib/llm/: a small provider factory with Anthropic as the only implementation. LLM_PROVIDER defaults to anthropic and unknown values throw, so a later OpenAI PR can add a case without touching eval-run.

Each eval run is one complete() call using agents/prompt-eval/prompts/system.md plus the rendered user prompt. We still return a local sessionId so the existing result JSON stays stable.

Leftover Cosmo chat routes that used to create or stream Octavus sessions now return 501 so the Octavus packages can go away. Local session list/save/delete stay as-is. I left the unused Cosmo helpers (thinking.js, stream-registry.js, model-capabilities.js) alone on purpose.

Config is ANTHROPIC_API_KEY plus optional ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL / ANTHROPIC_MODEL. Model ids still accept an anthropic/ prefix.

Test plan

  • npm test
  • Copy .env.example to .env, set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, run npm run dev
  • Run a single-prompt evaluation and confirm outputs come back
  • Compare two prompts with an expected answer and confirm scores
  • Confirm /api/eval/run returns 503 when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is unset
  • Confirm POST /api/sessions and POST /api/trigger return 501

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project replaces Octavus session execution with independent Anthropic complete() calls. It adds shared LLM contracts, Anthropic model and response handling, provider selection, and environment configuration. Evaluation runners now resolve system prompts, score completion text, and report provider errors. The server passes the provider to evaluation routes, returns HTTP 503 when the API key is missing, and returns HTTP 501 for unavailable chat operations. Tests cover provider behavior, evaluation execution, and server responses.

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 36604

This PR switches evaluations to direct Anthropic API calls and adds new transport and UUID-generation behavior. Merge should be blocked until the required FedRAMP/FIPS validation confirms approved cryptography and certificate handling; otherwise affected deployments could face compliance or security issues, while provider misconfiguration may also produce failed requests without a proper configuration response.

🌐 Web query:

For @anthropic-ai/sdk version 0.123.0, does client.messages.create() expose the HTTP request ID as _request_id, distinct from message.id?

💡 Result:

Yes, for @anthropic-ai/sdk version 0.123.0, the client.messages.create method returns an object that exposes the HTTP request ID via a _request_id property [1][2]. This property is distinct from the message.id, which identifies the message object itself within the Anthropic API [3][4]. The _request_id is populated from the request-id response header, allowing for easier logging and debugging of specific API requests [1][5].

Return the HTTP request ID instead of the Message ID.

message.id identifies the generated Message. client.messages.create() exposes the HTTP request ID as _request_id, populated from the response header. Use _request_id for provider-log correlation.

🌐 Web query:

For Express 4.19.2, are errors thrown in an async route handler automatically forwarded to error middleware?

💡 Result:

No, in Express 4.19.2, errors thrown in an async route handler are not automatically forwarded to error middleware [1][2][3]. In Express 4, the built-in router only automatically catches and propagates errors that occur synchronously [2][4]. If an error occurs within an async function—either by throwing an exception or returning a rejected promise—the error is not caught by Express, which typically results in an unhandled promise rejection [1][2][4]. To handle errors in async route handlers in Express 4.19.2, you must explicitly catch the errors and pass them to the next function [1][3]. Common approaches include: 1. Wrapping the route handler logic in a try/catch block and calling next(err) in the catch block [1][2][3]. 2. Using a wrapper function (like express-async-handler) to automatically catch errors and pass them to next [5][6][4]. 3. Using the express-async-errors package, which patches the Express 4 router to provide automatic error propagation for async handlers [6][4]. This behavior differs from Express 5, which does automatically catch and propagate rejected promises and errors from async functions to the error middleware [7][8][2].

Handle provider-configuration errors before the route promise rejects.

When ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set and LLM_PROVIDER is unsupported, createLlmProvider() throws from getLlm() before either evaluation route enters its try block. Express 4 does not forward this rejection to error middleware. Catch it and return a configuration error, or pass it to next(err).
