Summary

Reload now restores the working eval session: prompts, compare mode, cases, metric, run count, and the last results.

session.config.json initialSession is only a starter when nothing has been saved yet. The first user edit writes eval-session.json; that file is gitignored and wins on later loads.

Changes

Look at lib/eval-session.js and the load order in public/app.js. Saved state is a single object on disk, not the leftover Cosmo chat session APIs.

Typing is debounced. Add/remove case, compare toggle, metric/run changes, and a successful eval PUT immediately. Applying initialSession does not write.

lastResult stays until the next successful run, same as the in-memory UI today.

Test plan

  • Start with no eval-session.json and confirm initialSession from config is used
  • Edit a prompt or add a case, reload, and confirm the edit survives
  • Run an evaluation, reload, and confirm the last results come back
  • Disable compare with Prompt B still filled, reload, and confirm single-prompt mode stays
  • npm test

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds normalized evaluation-session state with bounded fields and result validation. The server persists sessions in eval-session.json through GET and PUT routes with atomic writes. The browser loads saved sessions, synchronizes edits and controls, persists changes, and restores renderable results. Tests cover normalization, atomic writes, and server persistence. Documentation describes local storage and reload precedence.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9f37b

The change persists eval session state across reloads. A failed save rename could leave a temporary file behind, creating a bounded cleanup issue; the PR remains mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

reject incomplete nested result payloads before rendering, validating
comparison.means and every prompt and case entry required by renderComparison
and renderVerdict, while preserving acceptance of complete payloads. Add
regression tests covering malformed nested result objects, including missing or
invalid means, prompts, and cases.

In `@server.js`:
- Line 356: Update the save flow containing writeJsonFile and EVAL_SESSION_FILE
to write the JSON to a temporary file in the same directory, then atomically
rename that file over eval-session.json; add a regression test that reads the
session during a save and verifies it never observes truncated JSON or falls
back to initialSession.

Remove failed temporary files.

If fs.writeFile succeeds and fs.rename fails, the temporary file can remain in dir. Remove tmpPath during cleanup without masking the original error.
