Please provide a clear description of problem this feature solves

Request: Add a new API endpoint to trigger an evaluation run on a remote cluster and return the final status.

Proposed Endpoint:

POST /evaluate
{
  "config_file": "examples/simple/configs/eval_config.yml"
}

Expected Behavior:
The endpoint should initiate the evaluation using the provided config file and return a structured response indicating the run status: [success, failure, interrupted]

Describe your ideal solution

As /evaluate is a long running endpoint it should be async i.e. it returns a job id for polling -

{
  "job_id": "abc123",
  "status": "submitted"
}

Check on evaluation status -

GET /evaluate/status/{job_id}

Sample output

{
  "job_id": "abc123",
  "status": "running"  // or "success", "failure", "interrupted"
}
