`SKILL.md` already told callers not to build on `client.evaluator.run()` because it was being retired. This removes it, along with the executor methods that existed only to serve it — `run_local`, `evaluate_remote`, `evaluate`, `evaluate_benchmark` — plus the two spec resolvers they were the only callers of. Nothing in production called it. The plugin's remote path is `submit`; local evaluation lives in `nemo_evaluator_sdk.Evaluator`, which is what the skill already recommends. Removing it orphans a supporting cast, so that goes too: `sdk/fs_utils.py` entirely, since `local_artifact_path` was reachable only from `local_result_path` and `EvaluatorLocalRunResult` only from tests of the removed methods; and `filter_evaluation_result`/`filter_benchmark_result` from `sdk/utils.py`, which keeps `filter_aggregate_scores` for `job_resources`. Two `create` tests patched `_executor.asyncio.to_thread` to prove creation never bridges through a thread. With local execution gone the module has no asyncio import at all, so they assert its absence — the property holds by construction rather than by one observed call. A third test wrapped the removed call in `except Exception: pass`, so it passed while testing nothing; deleted. The runnable example and the doc-contract test move to submit-only here rather than alongside the prose, so this layer builds and tests green on its own. The CLI `run` verb is unaffected: it comes from the job framework's `NemoJobScheduler.run_local`, a different path that shares a name. BREAKING CHANGE: `client.evaluator.run()` is removed from both the sync and async plugin resources. Use `submit` for platform evaluation, or `nemo_evaluator_sdk.Evaluator` for local execution. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Sandy Chapman <schapman@nvidia.com>
Removing `client.evaluator.run()` left 11 doc pages teaching it across 37 runnable snippets. Following any of them constructed the plugin resource and then raised `AttributeError`. The repo's snippet linter proves it, but it is not wired into CI, so nothing failed; the docs were simply wrong. Snippets now submit, wait, and fetch. Two conversions needed more than a rename, because `run` and `submit` do not take the same arguments: `aggregate_fields` belongs on `get_result()`, and a `Model` target needs an online run config to match a `submit` overload. Converting also changed what `api_key_secret` means — under local execution it named an environment variable, while a submitted job resolves it as a secret in the job workspace. Submit-bound models now name the platform secret the surrounding prose tells you to create. The judge tutorial's "Test with Local Evaluation" section keeps a deliberately local model, so it uses `nemo_evaluator_sdk.Evaluator` rather than submitting. Prose describing local execution as a plugin mode now points at `nemo_evaluator_sdk.Evaluator`. Table rows and tab titles naming a "local" mode are removed or retitled rather than reworded, since that mode is gone. Left alone: the standalone SDK's `Evaluator.run` / `run_sync`, a different class that still supports it. Snippet diagnostics across the changed docs fall from 85 to 35, no page regresses.

…ne target Review feedback on the run-to-submit conversion, all four points valid. The "Local Evaluation" tabs had become copies of their "Remote Job" twins — 8 pairs in rag, 6 in similarity — because converting them to `submit` erased the only difference between the two. Local evaluation still exists, just not on the plugin, so those tabs now use `nemo_evaluator_sdk.Evaluator` and the contrast the pages are built around is real again. Same for the "Local Execution" and "Get Results from a Local Run" sections in remote, results, and llm-as-a-judge. The sync online example was a functional break, not a wording one. Its async counterparts call `model_with_valid_secret` before submitting; the sync path still passed the module-level model, whose `api_key_secret` names an environment variable. That was correct while the plugin ran in-process, but a submitted job resolves the name against platform secrets, so the job could not authenticate. Added the sync mirror of the helper and used it. Also cleaned up what the conversion left stale: the agentic overview table advertised `run` + `submit` on five rows, and seven pages still explained "local `run` versus remote `submit`" for `api_key_secret`. Snippet diagnostics across the changed docs now fall from 92 to 23, no page regresses. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Sandy Chapman <schapman@nvidia.com>

Follow-up review found two things the previous pass left behind. Three code fences called `LocalEvaluator().run_sync(...)` without importing it. The conversion added the import once per region rather than once per fence, so a reader copying any one of those fences got a NameError. The repo's snippet linter did not catch it because it accumulates imports across a whole file, which hides per-fence incompleteness — worth knowing, since a passing lint run does not mean each fence stands alone. The local-results example also carried `NeMoPlatform` setup and the plugin `Evaluator` import it no longer uses. That setup could not simply be deleted: the submitted-job example below it had none of its own and was relying on it, so it moves down to where it is actually needed. On review, `remote.mdx` loses its `Local Execution` section outright. This is a plugin page, and with `evaluator.run` gone the section taught the standalone SDK on a page about the plugin — both metric types keep a full worked example under `Durable Remote Jobs`, so nothing was documented only there. Three consequences fall out of the removal: the execution-modes table was already down to a single row under a heading promising two, and is now a sentence that names `submit` and points at `nemo_evaluator_sdk.Evaluator`; the `api_key_secret` note still explained local key resolution for a path the page no longer has; and the score-extraction path `$.result.score`, documented only in the deleted NAT prose, moves to the NAT endpoint-format section.
