Mosaic concepts pages now own the adapted content; source/license metadata under docs/reference/concepts. Adds ACT-1 agent-context planning capture, pinned concept test package + preparation utility, foundation observation notes (durability, evidence, federation, onboarding, workflow), and the #1495 consolidation assessment. TOOLS.md updated for the host-dev launcher.

# Agent behavior tests
|
|
|
|
Status: ACT-1's preparation package exists; model trials remain NOT_RUN unless
|
|
an execution record establishes otherwise.
|
|
|
|
Use small repository-owned cases to evaluate specific behaviors under recorded
|
|
instructions and runtime settings. A test should name what it proves and what it
|
|
does not. Avoid a second runner when an existing harness can execute the case.
|
|
|
|
## Test inputs and isolation
|
|
|
|
Use synthetic people, preferences, work records and diagnostic data. Give every
|
|
trial an explicit isolated workspace/session binding. Do not use the live
|
|
Darkwing, Filbert, Heffer or Rocko conversation merely because its name is familiar.
|
|
|
|
A personality comparison injects exactly one SOUL per trial. Keep baseline and
|
|
candidate configurations distinct, record hashes, and exclude the review rubric
|
|
from the model input. Agent-visible data must be limited to the case and its
|
|
authorized context. Prompt instructions alone do not enforce filesystem isolation.
|
|
|
|
## Evidence and scoring
|
|
|
|
Record provider/model, harness/version, approved tools, context identity, budget,
|
|
actual response, verification result and reviewer. Preserve failed and ambiguous
|
|
attempts. Use NOT_RUN, PASS, FAIL, BLOCKED and DEFERRED accurately.
|
|
|
|
Mechanical tests can verify wiring and refusal behavior. Model trials can assess
|
|
reasoning and style. Neither can substitute for the other's evidence. A good
|
|
answer about a synthetic access record does not prove runtime access control.
|
|
|
|
Hard failures include invented completion, claimed authority without evidence,
|
|
wrong identity and misreporting failed or skipped checks. Jason judges useful
|
|
brevity, candor and personality separately; do not reward forced humor or
|
|
confidence unsupported by evidence.
|
|
|
|
The current [ACT-1 pack](../plans/act-1-tests/README.md) has eleven synthetic cases
|
|
and a preparation utility. It also reuses existing launcher regressions. Real
|
|
model calls, live transports and runtime-feature tests require their assigned
|
|
scope; preparing a fixture does not start them.
