Summary

Restore num_repeats and concurrency semantics for sandbox-backed Gym evaluations. The sandbox runner previously dropped both target fields, so every completed evaluation persisted exactly one trial regardless of the requested repeat count.

Related Issue

NVBug 6733143

Changes

  • propagate GymRunnerTarget.num_repeats and concurrency into the sandbox runtime
  • carry both values across the single /rollouts/run request
  • expand attempts inside the existing Gym host session and bound them with Gym's semaphore contract
  • preserve per-task/per-attempt rollout identity and validate malformed host parameters
  • add SDK, host HTTP, and Evaluator integration regression coverage

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with documentation updates
  • Documentation only
  • Contributor tooling or automation
  • CI, build, or test infrastructure

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Documentation updated for user-visible behavior
  • Documentation not applicable — justification: this restores the existing GymRunnerTarget contract without changing its public schema or documented usage.

Verification

  • Pull request title follows the repository's Conventional Commit format
  • Every commit includes an appropriate Signed-off-by: trailer
  • uv run pre-commit run -a passes, or any blocked checks are identified below
  • Targeted tests pass, or tests are marked not applicable above
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials are included

Targeted validation:

  • ruff check and ruff format --check on all six changed source/test files: pass
  • sandboxed Gym host runtime tests: 39 passed
  • Gym SDK/Evaluator targeted regression: 199 passed, 11 existing slow/opt-in skips
  • source-built nmp-gym-tasks and sandbox runtime images deployed to the live k3d/OpenSandbox lane
  • real FileSet/Task/Taskset/Job/customer-code E2E matrix: 5/5 passed
    • num_repeats=1, concurrency=1: one persisted trial
    • num_repeats=5, concurrency=1: five persisted trials
    • num_repeats=5, concurrency=2: five persisted trials
    • num_repeats=5, concurrency=5: five persisted trials
    • num_repeats=2, concurrency=5: two persisted trials

Full pre-commit was not run locally; GitHub CI will execute the repository-wide gates.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Sandboxed Gym runtimes now accept repeat and concurrency settings. The host validates and applies these settings, assigns rollout indices, and returns repeated results. Runner wiring and unit and integration tests cover the request payloads and output behavior.

Sandboxed Gym rollout controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
SDK rollout configuration and request contract
packages/nemo_evaluator_sdk/src/nemo_evaluator_sdk/agent_eval/runtimes/gym/sandboxed.py, packages/nemo_evaluator_sdk/tests/agent_eval/test_gym_sandboxed_runtime.py
Adds validated num_repeats and concurrency settings, exposes them in runner metadata, and includes them in host requests. Tests verify repeated indexed results and token redaction.
Host rollout expansion and concurrency enforcement
packages/sandboxed_gym/src/sandboxed_gym/runtime/gym_host_runtime.py, packages/sandboxed_gym/tests/test_gym_host_runtime.py
Validates positive request values, expands examples into repeated attempts, assigns rollout indices, and passes a semaphore to rollout execution.
Runner wiring and integration coverage
plugins/nemo-evaluator/src/nemo_evaluator/jobs/gym_sandbox.py, plugins/nemo-evaluator/tests/integration/test_sandboxed_gym_execution.py
Forwards target settings to the sandboxed runtime. Integration tests verify request propagation, concurrency, repeated trial counts, and rollout indices.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 4cb66

Sandboxed Gym evaluations now support repeated, concurrent rollouts, but the host does not cap either control, so oversized requests can exhaust resources. The configured controls are also absent from pre-provisioning provenance; both issues should be addressed before merge.

438-443: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Report rollout controls before provisioning.

Before _delegate exists, runner_info() omits num_repeats and concurrency. A caller that records pre-provisioning provenance cannot see the configured rollout behavior. Add both target values to this config branch.

Bound rollout controls.

Line 463 accepts arbitrarily large positive values. A request can allocate len(examples) * num_repeats attempt dictionaries and request excessive rollout concurrency. Apply host-side upper bounds to both fields before expansion, and enforce the same limits in the SDK.
