feat(evals): AESOP spike + eval platform for Agent Builder skills

[patrykkopycinski]

Summary

Eval-driven skill improvement platform for Agent Builder, comprising:

• AESOP (Autonomous Eval-driven Skill Optimization Pipeline) — mines Agent Builder conversations for candidate skills, evaluates them through an evaluator pipeline, and proposes improvements back into the skill edit flow.
• Eval platform — reusable evaluator registry, scoring (composite + required-pass gating), CODE + LLM-judge evaluators, dataset/suite/comparison/monitoring surfaces, and a new Experiments tab backed by workflowsManagement / workflowsExtensions for scheduled, repeatable eval runs.
• Agent Builder integration — manual evaluator picker, SkillEvalSection, Monaco diff preview flyout, "Generate with Agent" action.

Status: Hardened tech preview

This branch has gone through several hardening passes since the initial spike. Production posture today:

• ✅ Type checks clean on the evals plugin and @kbn/evals-extensions (the historical 508 skill_client.ts errors are resolved).
• ✅ Authz gaps closed; all AESOP + eval routes have requiredPrivileges matrices and ES reads are scoped to the caller's RBAC.
• ✅ Flag-off UX: every AESOP/eval surface (including the new Experiments tab) renders a neutral fallback when its required dependency is missing or xpack.evals.aesop.enabled=false. Default for AESOP stays true for ongoing iteration.
• ✅ Saved objects (proposedSkill, evaluator, remoteKibanaConfig) carry baseline modelVersions: { 1: { changes: [] } } anchors.
• ✅ AESOP workflow-state indices attach aesop-lifecycle ILM at bootstrap.
• ✅ Plugin stop() hook aborts in-flight AESOP exploration runs via a shared AbortController, so a Kibana restart no longer leaves explorations pinned at "running".
• ✅ Persistent rate limiter has an xpack.evals.aesop.rateLimits.failClosed knob (default false, preserves demo posture; flip to true for production where bypassed limits = real connector spend) and emits aesop.rate_limiter.failure events on the active OTLP span so bypasses are alertable in APM.
• ✅ Native OTLP tracing through @kbn/tracing-utils. A single exploration request now produces a real trace tree — see "Native OTLP tracing" below.
• ✅ @kbn/evals-extensions promoted to shared-common; package boundary tightened (no re-exports of @kbn/evals types).
• ✅ Dead code cleaned up: legacy validate_skill route, duplicate lib/aesop/validation/convergence_loop, unused @kbn/llm-batch-processing, stub ComparisonDashboard UI, unregistered AESOP route files (list_skills, get_skill, propose_skill), unused incremental / caching / circuit-breaker / retry-handler modules and their tests, dead AESOP YAML workflows.

Latest architectural upgrade — skill evaluation pipeline

Replaces the monolithic LLM prompt that previously scored every criterion in one call. Skill validation now runs through the EvaluatorRegistry with a per-criterion pipeline:

CODE evaluators (run first, gate the LLM judges — zero LLM cost):

• skill-secret-scanner — regex + Shannon entropy for AWS / GitHub / Slack / JWT / webhook / private-key leaks, with placeholder suppression.
• skill-prompt-injection — role-override, jailbreak persona, fake system blocks, zero-width chars.
• skill-pii — emails, SSNs, credit cards, IPs.
• esql-compile — runs each ES|QL snippet through esql.query with LIMIT 0 to catch syntax + unknown-field errors.
• skill-index-resolves — indices.resolveIndex on every referenced index/alias/data-stream for deterministic grounding.
• backing-index-validator, esql-pattern — existing pattern checks.

LLM-judge evaluators (granular, skippable if CODE gates fail):

• skill-relevance, skill-completeness, skill-accuracy, skill-specificity, skill-safety.
• skill-quality-ensemble — runs the five judges in parallel, aggregates via median, surfaces a per-judge breakdown + std-dev-based disagreement so unstable evaluations can be flagged.

Server-side gating is enforced in buildValidationSummary: passed is derived from evaluateCiGates (composite threshold + required-pass). Any passed field reported by an LLM is ignored. The convergence loop now feeds fresh per-evaluator feedback into runLLMImprovement instead of reading stale snapshots off the saved object.

Wiring:

• createActionsInferenceClient adapts Kibana's actionsClient to the generic InferenceClient contract used by the evaluation engine.
• registerRunSkillValidationRoute takes the EvaluatorRegistry via DI.

New surface — Experiments tab (Workflows-backed)

Integrates Garrett's kbn-workflows-management work into this branch. Operators can register an experiment suite (registry.registerSuite(...)) and the new tab provides:

• A list of all registered suites, their schedule cadence, last run status, and last run trigger (manual / scheduled).
• Manual Run now and Cancel run buttons (versioned routes under /internal/evals/experiments/*).
• Workflow-execution logs surfaced inline so a failed run can be diagnosed without leaving the tab.

Implementation notes:

• Suite definitions are server-side and registered through experimentSuiteRegistry. A built-in cluster_health_suite ships as the reference example.
• Runs go through workflowsManagement.execution.runWorkflow with a custom run_suite step under workflows_steps/. Step inputs and outputs are typed in common/workflows_steps/run_suite.ts.
• The tab and its routes register only when the optional workflowsManagement and workflowsExtensions plugins are available; otherwise the tab hides itself with an EuiEmptyPrompt explaining the missing dependency. The Experiments dependency check is local — disabling AESOP does not disable Experiments and vice versa.

Native OTLP tracing

The previous custom `aesop_metrics` index has been replaced with native OTLP tracing through Kibana's `@kbn/tracing-utils`. A single `POST /internal/aesop/exploration/run` now produces:

```
HTTP request transaction
└─ aesop.exploration.started (kickoff)
└─ aesop.exploration.phase.1.schema_discovery
└─ aesop.exploration.phase.2.data_profiling
└─ aesop.exploration.phase.3.relationship_analysis
└─ aesop.exploration.phase.4.pattern_mining
└─ aesop.exploration.phase.5.skill_synthesis
└─ aesop.agent.invoke.aesop.schema-explorer
└─ aesop.agent.invoke.aesop.pattern-miner
└─ aesop.agent.invoke.aesop.skill-generator
└─ aesop.skill.validation.{single|convergence} (per skill)
```

All spans land in the standard `traces-apm-*` data stream via Elastic's OTel SDK; AESOP never owns an APM lifecycle. Span attributes follow OTel conventions (`aesop.kind`, `aesop.execution_id`, `aesop.phase_number`, `aesop.agent_id`, `aesop.skill_id`, `aesop.validation.composite_score`, etc.) so APM filters and alerts can be built without reading document bodies. `elastic-apm-node` is no longer used directly anywhere in the plugin (`@kbn/eslint/module_migration` enforces this).

Other production-readiness fixes in this pass

• GET /internal/evals/runs paging: page is now capped at 100 in OpenAPI + Zod, and the runs-listing aggregation defensively caps page * per_page at 10k buckets so an unbounded query can no longer reach Elasticsearch.
• AESOP UI ↔ API contract is end-to-end: `agent_role`, `mode`, `scoped_indices`, `exploration_depth`, and `min_pattern_frequency` are all wired from the form to the route, applied in role mapping / index filtering, attached to the kickoff span, and echoed back in the API response under `applied_options`.
• N+1 in skill listing: `GET /internal/evals/skills` no longer calls `getRegistryTools()` per skill (the field wasn't consumed by the only caller).
• Misleading tests: `o11y_langsmith_parity` and the `withRetry` spike were converted to `xdescribe` with header comments that explain why; they were testing hardcoded mocks / a drifted API and would pass regardless of real-world state.
• Operator hygiene: backups directory under `.claude/local-dev/elasticsearch/backups/` is now `.gitignore`d to prevent an accidental commit of operator snapshots.

Test plan

• AESOP tab lists proposed skills and exploration runs.
• Manual evaluator picker lets a user pick evaluators without asking the LLM first.
• "Generate with Agent" opens the AI sidebar with skill context pre-filled.
• Review Changes flyout opens with Preview / Diff toggle; Apply Changes updates form fields.
• Running skill validation with AESOP disabled renders flag-off fallback everywhere.
• A skill containing a hard-coded AWS key fails `skill-secret-scanner` and never reaches LLM judges.
• A skill referencing `nonexistent-index` fails `skill-index-resolves` with the failing pattern in `explanation`.
• A skill with an invalid ES|QL query fails `esql-compile`.
• `skill-quality-ensemble` populates `metadata.breakdown` with five per-judge scores + a `disagreement` std-dev.
• Auto-converge loop applies improvements per-evaluator and stops at convergence delta.
• Suites / Evaluators / Monitoring tabs render under the flag and stay disabled when it's off.
• Experiments tab renders the registered `cluster_health_suite` and shows last-run status. Manual `Run now` triggers a workflow execution and surfaces logs inline.
• Experiments tab hides itself with a "missing dependency" empty prompt when `workflowsManagement` is disabled.
• Native OTLP: starting an exploration with APM enabled produces an `aesop.exploration.started` span with five `aesop.exploration.phase.*` children and per-agent / per-validation grandchildren.
• Rate-limiter fail-closed: with `xpack.evals.aesop.rateLimits.failClosed: true` and ES unreachable, `POST /internal/aesop/exploration/run` returns 429 instead of being silently allowed; an `aesop.rate_limiter.failure` event is recorded on the active OTLP span.
• `stop()` hook: starting an exploration and then disabling the plugin (or restarting Kibana) marks the in-flight execution as `failed` in the state tracker rather than leaving it pinned at `running`.
• Page cap: `GET /internal/evals/runs?page=101` returns a 400 instead of triggering an unbounded ES aggregation.

Manual followup before merge

• Replace the comment block at `config/kibana.dev.yml` lines 7–8 (`# Enable workflows (required for AESOP) - disabled on this branch`). It is misleading: AESOP runs in-process and does not depend on `xpack.workflows`. The new Experiments tab uses `workflowsManagement` / `workflowsExtensions`, both enabled by default. The repo's pre-write hook blocks editing this file because it contains live AWS Bedrock / Azure OpenAI keys; rotate or move the keys to `.env` first, or apply the comment fix manually.

Must-do before any stack merges

• Land Stack 1 behind no feature flag (pure packages, no consumers yet).
• Each subsequent stack merges behind `xpack.evals.aesop.enabled` (default `true` during preview, flip to `false` pre-GA).
• Monitoring-tab fields aligned to vision metrics (do not ship with generic "drift detection" field names).
• Dataset management supports ES-native storage (the Phoenix-coupling concern flagged by `kbn-evals-vision-reviewer`).
• Experiments stack only ships when `workflowsManagement` / `workflowsExtensions` are stable upstream; otherwise the tab hides itself.

Follow-ups (post-merge of Stack 5)

• Surface Agent Builder LLM token usage on `aesop.agent.invoke.*` spans once the agent dispatch contract exposes `usage` (today the orchestrator only stamps request/response sizing on the span).
• Export eval scores into a golden cluster with a shared leaderboard.
• Layer `@kbn/evals-extensions` scoring on top of `createTraceBasedEvaluator` rather than maintaining a parallel evaluator ecosystem.

🟡 Medium aesop/exploration_dashboard.tsx:347

The onComplete callback passed to ExplorationProgress at lines 347-349 creates a new function reference on every render. Because ExplorationProgress includes onComplete in its useEffect dependency array, the effect re-fires whenever ExplorationDashboard re-renders. When an exploration completes, onComplete invalidates queries → triggers re-render → new onComplete reference → effect re-fires → calls onComplete again, creating an infinite loop of re-renders and query invalidations. Wrap the callback in useCallback with [queryClient] dependencies.

When onRetry calls this.circuitBreaker.recordFailure(agentId, err), the circuit can transition to OPEN mid-retry sequence. However, the circuit state is only checked once at the start of executeAgent (line 207), so subsequent retry attempts execute regardless of circuit state. With failureThreshold=2 and maxRetries=3, the third retry still executes after the circuit opens, defeating the circuit breaker's purpose of preventing requests to failing agents.
