Validate integer-range step and log in NumericSearchSpaceSpec.from_mapping.
When low and high are integers, reject supplied step values that are not positive integers. Also reject log=True with step > 1; SearchSpaceSpec.suggest() otherwise truncates fractional steps, while Optuna rejects non-default steps with logarithmic integer ranges.

Validate MetricOutput.value before converting it to float. MetricOutput.value is Any; SDK output-spec validation is separate, so None or text can reach both calls. In reduce_agent_eval_scores(), TypeError or ValueError escapes the CandidateEvaluationError boundary and aborts the study. CandidateEvaluationResult.reasoning_for_metric() is also a public, reachable path with the same failure. Use one shared numeric-value helper, skip invalid reasoning rows, and report invalid reductions through CandidateEvaluationError.

Reject empty dotted-path segments.
A numeric path such as "models..temperature" passes validation. apply_suggestions then creates models[""]["temperature"], so evaluation does not modify the intended Fabric field. Reject paths with empty segments before returning path.
Proposed fix
path = spec.get("path")
if not isinstance(path, str) or not path.strip():
raise SearchSpaceError(f"Search space entry {name!r} requires 'path' (Fabric overlay dotted path).")
- return param_type, path.strip()
