1.0.0 could only judge programming tasks: the rubric was a constant in the source. A suite now
carries its own criteria, so the harness works on any domain.

name: support_replies
rubric: |
  1. Accuracy. Does the reply follow the policy as stated, and address everything
     the customer actually asked?
  2. Tone. Given equal accuracy, prefer the reply the customer would rather receive.
answer_language: null   # prose, so render it as prose rather than as code

The response format and the instruction to ignore length stay in the tool's frame. A rubric free to
rewrite those would break verdict parsing and delete the bias controls with it, so one mentioning the
verdict token is refused.

Every verdict now records the prompt that produced it. A rubric edited mid-suite is refused rather
than averaged into one rating meaning two standards, and the site publishes the prompt that actually
ran instead of recomposing it from the suite file. The labeller shows the same rubric to the human
that the judge was given.

Second calibrated run

25 customer support tickets, same three models and judge as the code run, 75 blind human labels.

Support replies Python codegen
Agreement with a human 46.7% 61.3%
Order-flip rate 42.7% 20.0%
Agreement on self-consistent pairs 81.4% 76.7%

The judge is not worse at prose. On pairs where it gave the same verdict in both orderings it agrees
slightly more; the whole gap is that it contradicts itself twice as often, and a contradicted pair is
recorded as no winner. A harness judging each pair once would publish a confident ranking built on
those coin flips.

Breaking changes

  • rubric is required in suite files. The old behaviour is konkord.models.DEFAULT_RUBRIC.
  • The site reads one results file per suite, indexed by runs.json, not a single results.json.
  • report refuses to build when a suite's verdicts span more than one judge prompt.
  • The comparisons table gains a judge_prompt column, applied automatically on open.
