feat(gooddata-eval): evaluate the Report copilot

[romrak]

Teaches gd-eval to evaluate the Report copilot: it recognizes the report answer part and adds agentic_report_skill, which checks that asking the chat for a report returns one, and can have an LLM judge grade its narrative. Nothing runs in CI yet: that needs a gooddata-eval release and the Tavern wiring in gdc-nas.

LX-3174, LX-3175 and LX-3176, part of LX-3166 (continuously evaluate the AI Publisher Copilot).

Commits

1. feat(gooddata-eval): recognize the report answer part (LX-3174)
2. test(gooddata-eval): use the real report document in the report-part test (LX-3174)
3. feat(gooddata-eval): add the agentic report-skill evaluator (LX-3175)
4. feat(gooddata-eval): judge the narrative of a drafted report (LX-3176)

Each commit passes the full package suite on its own.

What this implements

A dataset item states what the report must contain. Every expected_output key is optional and switches on its own checks; an unknown key, or an expected_output that is not an object, is rejected before any request:

{"id": "report-narrative", "test_kind": "agentic_report_skill",
 "question": "Create a report on revenue and customers for the first half of 2026.",
 "expected_output": {
   "period": {"start": "2026-01-01", "end": "2026-06-30"},
   "visualizations": [{"id": "revenue_trend", "title": "Revenue trend"}],
   "narrative": "Summaries explain how revenue and customer numbers developed during the first half of 2026.",
   "expects_clarification": false}}

Score	Scored	Passes when
report_drafted	always	a draft_report call succeeded (the last successful one counts)
report_part_present	always	a report part carries a non-null document with type == "report"
report_ref_matches	always	the part's report_ref is the non-empty ref the draft returned
report_pages_consistent	always	len(pages), the part's and the tool's page_count agree, page 1 is a cover, and at least one page is a content page (a page with no kind is content, as gen-ai reads it)
report_not_saved	always	saved_report_id and base_report_id are both null
report_skill_activated	always	set_skills activated report_builder (no routing call passes, as in the dashboard skill)
report_period_correct	period	the report covers exactly that period
report_charts_matched	visualizations	every id appears somewhere in the row/column layout tree
report_summaries_present	narrative	the report's content pages have at least one summary slot (the slot gen-ai writes page summaries into) and every one has written text; placeholders such as {periodStart} do not count, a content page laid out without a summary slot passes, a static text slot is not a summary
report_narrative_judged	narrative	the binary LLMJudge passes the report, rendered as text, against the narrative
report_asked_first	expects_clarification	recorded only, never gated; recorded whenever the key is stated, true or false

What the judge reads, from a real report drafted on staging (trimmed):

Report: Revenue & Customers — H1 2026
Period: 2026-01-01 to 2026-06-30

Page 2: Revenue performance
Charts: revenue_trend, revenue_by_category_trend
Summary: From Jan–Jun 2026, monthly revenue slid from $9,271 in Jan to $6,601 in Mar, rebounded to a peak of $11,629 in May, ...

Page 3: Customer volume and mix
Charts: customers_trend, percentage_of_customers_by_region
Summary: From Jan–Jun 2026, # of active customers rose from 60 (Jan) to 65 (Mar), ...

Live runs at cb446174 against lynx-agents on staging (demo workspace, gpt-5.2 agent, gpt-4o judge, --runs 1, 2026-10-06):

report-clear-prompt  PASS  43.85s  quality=100%   7 checks True, summaries_from_data=4
report-vague-prompt  PASS  53.75s  quality=88%    7 checks True, report_asked_first=False
report-narrative     PASS  40.15s  quality=100%   9 checks True, summaries_from_data=3
  judge on report-narrative: "The actual output provides detailed summaries that align with the report's
  period and headings, addressing revenue and customer developments during the first half of 2026 without
  contradictions or placeholders."

The copilot needs enableGenAiReportBuilderSkill (gen-ai fb935db6b4, default off) as well as the org's businessBriefing early access.

Decisions

1. The report part stays in unhandled_parts instead of getting a created_reports field.
   That is how dashboard, dashboardPatch, kda and clarifyingQuestions work; the evaluator reads the part back by type.

• core/chat/sse_client.py, tests/test_chat_render.py

2. The wire shapes are checked against gen-ai, not assumed.
   draft_report results reach the stream as plain model_dump_json() (no data wrapper); the part's page_count and base_report_id come from the same stored draft as the tool result, so agreement is the correct expectation; an unresolved part arrives as an empty ReportPart and fails report_part_present.
3. Asking first is recorded, never gated.
   How much the copilot should ask before drafting is an open product decision. report_asked_first reads turn 1 through classify_reply, so a refusal followed by a draft does not count as asking, and a copilot that only ever asks is recorded as asking.

• It is a boolean in the detail, so it lowers quality_score (88% above), as the dashboard skill's diagnostics do. I'd accept moving it out of the detail.

4. The simulated user's reply is fixed, built from the fixture, not written by an LLM.
   Same as the dashboard skill: a failure stays the copilot's. Up to 4 turns; a silent turn ends the run.

• build_simulated_reply in core/agentic/report_skill.py

5. agentic_report_skill runs serially.
   It stays off PARALLEL_SAFE_TEST_KINDS like the dashboard skill, until the dataset has runs behind it.

• cli/agentic_runner.py, core/agentic/__init__.py

6. The judge is built only for an item that states a narrative.
   Other items need neither the llm-judge extra nor OPENAI_API_KEY, so the clear-prompt case stays deterministic and free.
7. Summary presence is checked by rule, on gen-ai's own summary slot; the judge grades only relevance and consistency.
   Presence is cheap and identical every run; spending a judge call on it would make a missing summary flaky. Reading the slot (as AacPage.summary does) rather than any paragraph keeps a static text slot from passing for a summary and lets a chart-only layout pass.
8. An unreadable verdict leaves a run ungraded only when the narrative was its one open check.
   A run that already failed another check stays a failure: the judge could not have rescued it. An ungraded run is left out of pass@K, keeps pass^K from holding (every run passing was never verified), writes no Langfuse scores and is not polled for; an item with no graded run raises JudgeResponseError. Same contract as the general-question and guardrail evaluators.

• _judge_narrative, render_report_text, AgenticReportSummary.scored_run_results

9. The narrative verdict shares the item's gate with the structural checks.
   report_narrative_judged is its own Langfuse score, so it can be read on its own, but a judge FAIL fails strict_pass like any other check. A report whose narrative misses the ask is a failed report for the copilot's purpose; a separate gate would let a nightly stay green on drafts nobody could use. I'd accept splitting it if the narrative turns out flakier than the structural checks.
10. A fixture is validated against an allow-list of keys before any request.
    A misspelt visualisations or narative would otherwise leave the item scored on structure alone and green. The runner passes expected_output through unchanged for this kind, so a Langfuse item must carry {}, never a blank expected_output.

• _validate_expectation, cli/agentic_runner.py

Left as they are: report_skill_activated passing when no set_skills call was seen (inherited from the dashboard skill, decision recorded there); the judge still grading a structurally failed run that has a document; a judge error other than an unreadable verdict escaping the item, as in the general-question evaluator; _extract_tool_result and _skill_activated imported from dashboard_skill.

Test plan

• tests/test_agentic_report_skill.py: 69 tests. Scoring is pure and tested branch by branch; the conversation loop runs against a scripted fake ChatClient, the judge against a fake LLMJudge, Langfuse score writing against a fake trace context, including k=2 with one ungraded run, and a structurally failed run whose judge errored. Sabotaging the ref check, the cover and content-page rules, the key allow-list, asked_first, picking the last report part, the summary-slot rule, the unscored-run guard and its Langfuse skip, the narrower ungraded rule and the pass^K rule each turned tests red.
• tests/test_chat_render.py: the gen-ai part-union test lists report; a report part is kept verbatim with no warning.
• Full package suite at each commit: 1317, 1317, 1373, 1392 passed. ruff, ruff format and ty clean.
• CodeRabbit: the annotation nitpick on this PR is addressed. Local reviews found two issues, both fixed: a report with no content page passed report_summaries_present, and a summary slot outside a content page counted although the judge never reads it.
• The three live runs above, on the final head.

What comes next

• A gooddata-eval release carrying this PR.
• LX-3177: the Tavern wiring in gdc-nas, bumping it to that release.
• The nightly org needs enableGenAiReportBuilderSkill and the businessBriefing early access.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The multipart client recognizes report as a known part type. The change adds an evaluator that validates and scores report drafts across runs, then connects it to the agentic CLI runner.

Changes

Report skill evaluation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Recognize report parts packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/chat/sse_client.py, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/test_chat_render.py	The client recognizes report as a known multipart type. Tests check that parsing retains the part unchanged without an unknown-type warning and include report in the expected part types.
Validate and score report drafts packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/agentic/report_skill.py, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/test_agentic_report_skill.py	The evaluator validates expectations and scores report structure, references, page counts, unsaved status, and specified period, chart, and narrative checks. Tests cover scoring, invalid expectations, and simulated replies.
Run conversations and aggregate results packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/agentic/report_skill.py, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/test_agentic_report_skill.py	The runner manages conversation turns and repeated runs. It can judge rendered report text, submit trace scores, and return an outcome or raise an error. Tests cover conversation flow, cleanup, gates, and judge errors.
Expose and dispatch the evaluator packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/agentic/__init__.py, packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/cli/agentic_runner.py, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/test_agentic_runner.py, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/test_trace_linker.py	The package exports report-skill types and functions. The CLI recognizes and dispatches the report-skill test kind. Runner and trace-linker tests include the evaluator.

[AdamPenaz]

Question on the narrative score: report_narrative_judged is in strict_checks, so a judge FAIL fails the run's strict_pass together with the structural checks, and the gate can't be set on one without the other. Its own Langfuse score makes it readable separately, but not gateable separately. Was keeping a single gate the intent? If so, it's worth a line in the PR body's Decisions.

[romrak]

@AdamPenaz Yes, a single gate is intended: a report whose narrative misses the ask is a failed report for what the copilot is for, and a separate gate would let a nightly stay green on drafts nobody could use. It's Decision 9 in the PR body now, with the note that I'd split it if the narrative turns out flakier than the structural checks.
