Spike: golden-task harness (R7)

Status: partial — harness exists; live Grok run not scored (XAI_API_KEY unset)

Question

Can we score a model on WordPress tasks without vibes?

Done when

  • 20 fixture prompts against at least 2 canned WordPress sites
  • Each prompt has a hard assertion (preview text, option value, or screenshot)
  • One Grok run is scored
  • Harness lives under e2e/golden/

Result

Yes, if “score” means: apply a tool call to a fixture and assert the new heading/option. No, if it means we have a Grok quality number. This machine has no XAI_API_KEY, so the live call was skipped.

What exists

Piece Path
20 prompts e2e/golden/prompts.json
Gutenberg dental site e2e/golden/sites/gutenberg-business/site.json
Elementor restaurant site e2e/golden/sites/elementor-restaurant/site.json
Apply + assert + Grok parser e2e/golden/src/
Scoreboard e2e/golden/runs/latest.json

Two sites. Ten prompts each. Assertions are preview_text, option, or screenshot. Screenshot here means “the fixture page text must contain X” — not a PNG/SSIM check.

pnpm --filter @wursor/e2e golden scored 20/20 fixture tool traces. Live Grok: skipped.

pnpm test:e2e — 21 tests, including the scorer.

How to score a real Grok run

XAI_API_KEY=… pnpm --filter @wursor/e2e golden

That sends gb-01 through api.x.ai and asserts the homepage heading.

Decision

  • Context: R7 said stop grading models by vibes.
  • Chosen: slot-fill tools + fixture apply + hard assert. Sites are JSON, not Docker WP (Docker was not available).
  • Rejected: “the model said it worked.” Waiting on Docker before any harness.
  • Reverted later?
