From 77845c747d5d1a470a6e2208ea94d4d3e3ed5478 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colby McHenry Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 14:52:07 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] test(agent-eval): show every run's residual and tool mix, not just the median (CG-7) A median over 2-3 runs hides swings big enough to flip a repo's sign. On vscode the without-arm ranged 40k to 67k and the with-arm 59k to 65k across two runs; the deciding variable is the tool mix, since a with-arm run that reads files ON TOP of calling explore pays for both. --- scripts/agent-eval/parse-bench-readme.mjs | 19 ++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/agent-eval/parse-bench-readme.mjs b/scripts/agent-eval/parse-bench-readme.mjs index 6703a4d..b981de3 100644 --- a/scripts/agent-eval/parse-bench-readme.mjs +++ b/scripts/agent-eval/parse-bench-readme.mjs @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ function parse(dir, label) { const o = s.occupancy; return { dur: s.dur, tools: s.tools, reads: s.reads, grep: s.grep, cg: s.cg, + bash: s.counts.Bash || 0, tokens: s.processed, cost: s.cost, raced: s.raced, turns: s.turns, segments: files.length, ctx: o.ctxFinal, @@ -127,6 +128,22 @@ for (const { repo, W, WO } of rows) { ); } console.log(`\nAVERAGE: retrieval residual ${avg(occ.resid)}% lower with codegraph · share-of-context ${avg(occ.shareCtx)}% lower`); + +console.log( + `FIXED overhead: codegraph's tool schema + MCP instructions cost ${avg(occ.fixed) >= 0 ?
