Description

This Draft PR implements Task 7 of the accepted LLM email-writing guidance plan: the naruon-owned independent criterion Judge contract. It is stacked on live #1375 (feat/llm-email-writing-candidate-task6 @ fa844bd035ab1f188a28c58e0ed2dc45fa31d0f3).

This revision addresses the CodeRabbit CHANGES_REQUESTED findings that blocked metadata-only gate evaluation on 3420f491ed4e7ce7f7e9746395c02f61ac6abdd5. The Task 7 pytest job itself was already green.

Customer next action

This PR is Judge-contract only. Customers should continue to write and send email with the current editor and send path. No user-facing writing-guidance diagnostics, language profile, or model is available in product. Writing and sending stay on the current path. This slice is not shipped.

Type of change

  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Breaking change
  • This change requires a documentation update

Included

  • independently observable two-or-more-word criterion IDs (issue_support through explanation_quality);
  • required criterion subset by candidate kind (no-replacement diagnostics do not fabricate replacement_correctness);
  • evaluation-only ordered category anchors (not a published production threshold);
  • untrusted Judge task construction with explicit untrusted-data markers;
  • explicit allowlist projection of Judge-evaluable candidate fields, including priority, with candidate_confidence dropped from both the task and answer payloads;
  • exact Judge JSON parsing that rejects duplicate keys, Markdown fences, surrounding prose, extra/missing fields, non-integral categories, free-form tokens, NaN/infinity, and score/category disagreement;
  • fail-closed import of a released fast-mlsirm Judge package (latest published GitHub release remains v0.6.0 and does not export ContextualOrchestratorJudge);
  • same-model candidate/Judge profiles fail closed because no published calibration policy exists;
  • runner failures and deadline expiry convert to payload-redacted judge_runner_failed;
  • response-row conversion that uses EMAIL_WRITING_JUDGE_CRITERION_IDS as the single column order and rejects mixed or unknown criterion sets;
  • fail-closed matrix export unless a released or injected validator is present;
  • worker-lane saturation and cancellation through the existing Task 5 port;
  • payload-redacted public errors and no raw prompt/output/body/draft persistence;
  • withheld user-facing admission and no send decision;
  • focused tests, 100% owned statement/branch coverage, shipped-symbol docstring gate, Ruff, and compileall;
  • a read-only workflow (contents: read, persist-credentials: false) that also reruns when backend/requirements-hashes.txt changes.

Authority boundary

Naruon owns criterion identity, required-subset selection, untrusted task construction, deterministic Judge-shaped JSON validation, and fail-closed package import. fast-mlsirm owns ContextualOrchestratorJudge, JudgeCriterion, JudgeFormatError, LLMJudgeResult, and validate_irt_response_matrix after an immutable hashed release. contextual-orchestrator owns provider-neutral routing.

This PR does not import or vendor a released fast-mlsirm package, admit a candidate into the user-facing diagnostic response, publish a calibration policy, make send decisions, persist raw prompts or model outputs, or add deterministic semantic fallback.

Blocker carried forward

Task 7 cannot call the released Judge until fast-mlsirm publishes an immutable hashed package containing ContextualOrchestratorJudge and the IRT matrix validator (Task 1). Task 8's published calibration policy is also absent. This slice therefore implements only the naruon-owned contract and fails closed.

Changes

The PR adds an independent email-writing Judge service. It defines strict contracts, fail-closed package loading, bounded untrusted payloads, output validation, privacy-preserving hashes, response-matrix export, comprehensive tests, and a dedicated CI workflow.

backend/services/email_writing_judge.py, backend/tests/fixtures/email_writing/judge_outputs.json, backend/tests/test_email_writing_judge.py, backend/tests/test_email_writing_judge_terminal_coverage.py

Response-row conversion and matrix export
backend/services/email_writing_judge.py, backend/tests/test_email_writing_judge.py, backend/tests/test_email_writing_judge_terminal_coverage.py

Adds locked workflow setup, targeted tests, 100% branch coverage, docstring checks, Ruff linting, and compilation checks.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 3420f

This PR adds the Judge contract and evaluation plumbing, but the current implementation can skip required checks, misclassify empty replacements, expose runner failure details, corrupt evaluation-column alignment, and let candidate confidence influence judging. It is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness, validation, and data-handling issues are fixed.

98-162: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Split these multi-concern tests.

test_invalid_runner_payload_and_score_model_guards asserts one runner-normalization failure plus six independent model guards. test_out_of_range_category_and_export_uses_loaded_validator mixes category-range rejection with matrix export. A failure in the first block hides the later assertions.

Use pytest.mark.parametrize for the model guards, and move the export assertion into its own test.

As per coding guidelines: "Use test-driven development: add or update tests before production changes, keep tests focused, and include focused contract tests for changed behavior."

138-144: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the unavailable-package test deterministic and future-proof. The current assertion depends on fast_mlsirm being absent from the environment, so it will fail once the required release is installed even though the fail-closed contract remains correct. Inject an importer that raises ImportError and assert judge_package_unavailable instead.
