Summary

  • Bug: Lium poll harvested harness.log with tail -c 32768. v3 battery METRICS_JSON= is often a single line ≫32 KiB, so harvest kept EVAL_OK but lost the METRICS_JSON= prefix → classify_log Failed after ~6h GPU (prod: 4642876b…, ac1db2a7…, e6a5fd61…).
  • Fix: Harness writes /tmp/prism_eval/metrics.json sidecar; SSH harvest prefers that (else grep -m1 '^METRICS_JSON=') plus terminal markers — no fixed-byte truncate of the metrics blob.
  • Ops: Failed rows with truncated error_detail only are not recoverable from DB (metrics_json never written). After deploy: admin POST /v1/submissions/{id}/retry + POST /v1/admin/gating/{hotkey}/reset.

Test plan

  • cargo test -p prism-lium-harness (incl. >40KB METRICS_JSON + EVAL_OK regression)
  • cargo test -p prism-lium -p prism-recipe --lib
  • cargo clippy -p prism-lium-harness -p prism-lium -p prism-recipe --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • After deploy: confirm a live v3 measure harvest parses bpb when battery blob ≫32 KiB
  • For affected failed ids: retry + gating reset (cannot offline-score from truncated error_detail)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved metrics collection for large outputs with sidecar storage and reliable fallback harvesting.
    • Preserved complete metrics output alongside terminal markers and diagnostic log tails.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented metrics from being lost or falsely reported as missing when logs exceed size limits.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for recovering failed measurements, resetting gating, and retrying submissions when metrics are unavailable.

v3 battery blobs often exceed the old harness.log retain window, so poll
saw EVAL_OK without a recoverable METRICS_JSON= prefix and failed after
hours of GPU. Prefer metrics.json sidecar / grep of the full line.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The harness now stores metrics in metrics.json and stdout. A detached harvest command retrieves complete metrics with log fallback. The Lium client uses this command without truncation. Tests and operational documentation cover oversized metrics and unrecoverable submissions.

Changes

Metrics Harvest Recovery

Layer / File(s)Summary
Harness metrics sidecar emission
crates/prism-recipe/harness/main.py, crates/prism-recipe/src/lib.rs
The harness writes metrics to metrics.json and continues to emit METRICS_JSON= output for all supported evaluation paths.
Detached harvest command
crates/prism-lium-harness/src/detached.rs, crates/prism-lium-harness/src/lib.rs
HARNESS_HARVEST_CMD reads the sidecar first, falls back to the complete metrics line, emits markers, and retains an 8 KiB log tail.
Client integration and recovery contract
crates/prism-lium/src/client.rs, crates/prism-lium/src/lib.rs, docs/PRISM.md, docs/runbooks/prism-enable-lium-and-emission.md
The client returns complete harvest output. Documentation defines metrics recovery, retry, and gating-reset procedures.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 36435

The change replaces truncated log harvesting with a metrics sidecar, but valid evaluations may still fail when a partial sidecar takes precedence or when runs use a non-default work directory that the harvester does not inspect. Merge should wait until these bounded harvesting and recovery risks are addressed or explicitly accepted.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the harvester on the producer's work directory.

crates/prism-recipe/harness/main.py derives METRICS_SIDECAR from PRISM_WORKDIR, but this command always changes to /tmp/prism_eval. When a live launch uses another workdir, the command misses the producer's sidecar and can read unrelated files from the default directory. The poller can then time out or classify the wrong run.

Pass or persist the configured workdir for every harvest invocation. If the environment is guaranteed to use the default, enforce that invariant instead of silently accepting another PRISM_WORKDIR.

Example alignment
-cd /tmp/prism_eval 2>/dev/null || exit 0+cd "${PRISM_WORKDIR:-/tmp/prism_eval}" 2>/dev/null || exit 0

Ensure the same value is available in independent SSH harvest sessions.

Cross-file evidence: crates/prism-recipe/harness/main.py, Lines 98-101, derives the sidecar from PRISM_WORKDIR.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Publish only complete sidecars.

open(..., "w") truncates metrics.json before f.write completes, and the OSError handler leaves the file in place. If the write fails after file creation, _emit_metrics still prints the complete blob and the terminal marker. HARNESS_HARVEST_CMD then selects the partial sidecar and skips the complete log-line fallback.

Write to a same-directory temporary file and atomically replace metrics.json only after the write succeeds. Remove or version stale sidecars when a new run starts.

Downstream evidence: crates/prism-lium-harness/src/detached.rs, Lines 73-78, selects any existing sidecar before the log fallback.
