fix(evaluator): surface Gym sandbox bootstrap failures - #1853
Conversation
Signed-off-by: puhuim <puhuim@nvidia.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughBootstrap failures remain observable through the runtime health endpoint. OpenSandbox readiness polling surfaces terminal failures. Gym sandbox configuration forwards startup and collection timeouts. ChangesBootstrap readiness and timeout handling

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Sandbox bootstrap failures are now surfaced diagnostically, but invalid or permanent health responses can still be delayed until the startup timeout or produce an unhelpful runtime error.

- Around line 196-197: Update the exception handling in the health polling flow
around _get_json so only retryable transport failures are caught and assigned to
last_error; let unrelated HTTP statuses and invalid or non-JSON responses
propagate immediately instead of being converted into TimeoutError. Preserve
retries for genuinely transient transport errors.
- Line 222: Update _get_json and its use in wait_ready to validate that decoded
error responses are JSON objects before calling body.get(...). Handle arrays,
scalars, and null explicitly so wait_ready does not raise AttributeError, while
preserving the existing behavior for valid object-shaped payloads.

Do not convert permanent health errors into timeouts.
_get_json re-raises unrelated HTTP statuses and invalid or non-JSON error responses, but this catch intercepts all of them. A 404, 401, or malformed proxy response is polled until timeout_s and reported as TimeoutError, delaying the actual failure. Catch only retryable transport failures and let non-retryable health errors propagate.

Validate the decoded JSON shape before returning it.
If _get_json returns a valid JSON array, scalar, or null for a 500/503 response, wait_ready calls body.get(...) and raises AttributeError. Accept only object-shaped payloads or handle the shape error explicitly.

Summary
Surface Gym host bootstrap failures immediately when OpenSandbox keeps an egress sidecar alive. Invalid Gym model or resources-server configuration now reaches a diagnostic terminal Job state instead of remaining active until the sandbox TTL.
