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 — then moves the docs off it.

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.

Two commits, each independently green

Review them in order — the split is deliberate, and each commit builds and tests on its own.

1. refactor(evaluator)!: drop the plugin's local execution path — 9 code files
resources.py loses run (3 overloads + impl × sync/async). _executor.py loses 4 methods × sync/async plus the two spec resolvers they were the only callers of. sdk/fs_utils.py goes entirely: local_artifact_path was reachable only from local_result_path, and EvaluatorLocalRunResult only from tests of the removed methods. sdk/utils.py loses two filters and keeps filter_aggregate_scores for job_resources. The runnable example and the doc-contract test move to submit-only here rather than with the prose, so this layer stands alone.

2. docs(evaluator): move the plugin docs off the removed local run path — 14 .mdx files
11 pages taught the removed API across 37 runnable snippets, now converted to submit / wait / fetch.

Notes for review

  • The CLI run verb is unaffected. It comes from the job framework's NemoJobScheduler.run_local, a different path that happens to share a name.
  • Two create tests changed rather than being deleted. They patched _executor.asyncio.to_thread to prove creation never bridges through a thread. With local execution gone the module has no asyncio import, so they assert its absence — the property now holds by construction. A third test wrapped the removed call in except Exception: pass and so passed while testing nothing; deleted.
  • Two conversions needed more than a rename, because run and submit don't take the same arguments: aggregate_fields belongs on get_result(), and a Model target needs an online run config to match a submit overload.
  • api_key_secret changed meaning underneath the conversion. Under local execution it named an environment variable; 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.
  • Left alone: the standalone SDK's Evaluator.run / run_sync — a different class that still supports it.

Verification

  • 2497 passed, ruff clean, ty clean on the changed files
  • Commit 1 alone: 1017 passed — confirmed independently green rather than assumed
  • docs/_scripts/lint_python_snippets.py across the changed docs: 85 → 35 diagnostics, no page regresses (measured against the branch point, not a stale local main)

Follow-up

skills/nemo-evaluator-plugin/SKILL.md still says the path "is being retired… even though --help still lists it", which now misdescribes the SDK. test_skill_examples.py asserts that exact string, so the two change together — left for the separate skills-docs change.

`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.

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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The evaluator SDK now supports durable submit workflows instead of local plugin run paths. Documentation and examples distinguish local SDK execution from platform jobs. Tests validate the submission-only contract.

Changes

Evaluator submission workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
SDK submission contract
plugins/nemo-evaluator/src/nemo_evaluator/sdk/..., plugins/nemo-evaluator/src/nemo_evaluator/jobs/evaluate.py, plugins/nemo-auditor/src/nemo_auditor/sdk.py
The SDK removes local execution, result loading, benchmark evaluation, and related filtering paths. Submission APIs remain.
Example submit workflows
plugins/nemo-evaluator/examples/plugin_examples.py
Examples always submit packaged evaluator jobs, wait for completion, and retrieve results. Local-run branching and execution flags were removed.
Platform execution documentation
docs/evaluator/index.mdx, docs/evaluator/sdk-resources.mdx, docs/evaluator/agent-eval/index.mdx, docs/evaluator/metrics/agent-configuration.mdx, docs/evaluator/metrics/index.mdx, docs/evaluator/metrics/manage-metrics.mdx, docs/evaluator/metrics/model-configuration.mdx, docs/evaluator/tutorials/run-llm-judge-evaluation.mdx
Platform documentation now uses submit for durable jobs and documents local SDK execution separately. Authentication and result retrieval guidance was updated.
Metric execution documentation
docs/evaluator/metrics/agentic.mdx, docs/evaluator/metrics/llm-as-a-judge.mdx, docs/evaluator/metrics/rag.mdx, docs/evaluator/metrics/remote.mdx, docs/evaluator/metrics/results.mdx, docs/evaluator/metrics/similarity.mdx
Metric examples now use LocalEvaluator().run_sync(...) for local execution or evaluator.submit(...), wait_until_done(), and get_result() for platform jobs.
Submission contract validation
docs/evaluator/test_doc_examples.py, plugins/nemo-evaluator/tests/test_sdk.py
Tests verify submit-only packager behavior, removal of Evaluator.run, and removal of executor asyncio usage.

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 45754

The plugin now directs local evaluation to the standalone SDK and uses submit-based execution, but two documentation examples still risk misleading users: one submitted job may fail to resolve its API key, and another shows an unnecessary platform-client dependency. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these bounded documentation issues.

Use the platform secret in this submitted example.

evaluator.submit() runs in the platform job runtime. The Agent uses api_key_secret="MY_AGENT_API_KEY", but this page requires a workspace secret. The job cannot resolve the local environment-variable name. Use "my-agent-api-key" or its full workspace reference.

- Line 76: The agentic evaluator documentation still references the removed
evaluator.run API. Update the overview table’s Plugin SDK Execution entry to
list only submit, and revise the prerequisite around the local-versus-remote
behavior to describe submit secret handling without mentioning run.

In `@docs/evaluator/metrics/rag.mdx`:
- Around line 214-216: Update the “Local Evaluation” examples and tabs to
reflect the current evaluation API: remove or merge tabs that call
evaluator.submit so they are not presented as distinct local execution, and
revise the api_key_secret guidance around the sections near the
local-versus-remote descriptions to remove references to the obsolete run method
while accurately describing submit behavior.

In `@docs/evaluator/metrics/remote.mdx`:
- Around line 87-95: Replace the durable evaluator.submit flow in
docs/evaluator/metrics/remote.mdx lines 87-95 with nemo_evaluator_sdk.Evaluator
for a true local generic remote-metric example; apply the same standalone local
evaluator change to lines 121-136 for the NAT example, and update
docs/evaluator/metrics/results.mdx lines 34-42 to demonstrate local SDK result
retrieval or merge it into the submitted-job results section.

In `@plugins/nemo-evaluator/examples/plugin_examples.py`:
- Around line 540-546: Update run_nmp_online_metric_example_sync_client so its
online branch uses a sync secret helper to wrap the target model with a valid
platform secret before assigning run_kwargs["target"]; preserve the existing
non-online behavior and submit flow.

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.

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.
