From b9102fbbeee7c863beec7cf9e5ec385c9c3aad36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiwon Yeom Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 19:27:39 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 02/18] refactor(redteam): unify strategies on run_attack with strategy-agnostic cases Every AttackStrategy now owns its multi-turn loop via an abstract run_attack(case, call_target, ...) -> AttackRunResult; the task runner injects call_target (target invocation + tool-trace capture + per-case messages.clear isolation) and no longer branches on strategy type. Why: a single execution model (strategy owns its loop) is simpler than a runner-owned loop plus a per-strategy exception. Cases become strategy-agnostic (no strategy/template baked into RedTeamConfig); the RedTeamExperiment holds the strategy instances and expands the case x strategy cross-product at run time, so hand-crafted cases and strategy comparison (by label) are both first-class. - base.py: run_attack @abstractmethod + AttackRunResult dataclass; add label (instance id, defaults to name); remove the unused enhance(). - PromptStrategy: relocate the ActorSimulator loop from task.py into run_attack (gradual_escalation behavior unchanged). - RedTeamConfig: drop strategy/system_prompt_template + their validator. - generators/adversarial: generate_cases emits strategy-agnostic cases; rename target -> agent; drop attack_strategies. - experiment: rename target -> agent; accept attack_strategies; build _by_label (duplicate label -> ValueError); expand cross-product before delegating to the base worker (left untouched). - task: build call_target, look up the case's strategy by label, map AttackRunResult to the {"output", "trajectory", ...} dict.

On a refusal it backtracks by simply not appending the refused (question, response) pair and retrying with a fresh question (up to max_backtracks), so the refused turn never enters the history — a simpler equivalent of PyRIT's excluding-last-turn approach. It stops early once a turn scores at/above success_threshold. The refusal/success/question-generation helpers are module-level functions (is_refusal, success_score, gen_escalating_question) rather than methods, so future strategies (PAIR, TAP) can reuse them without importing a strategy class. They power the strategy's cheap in-loop "should I stop?" gate; success_score reads the case's success_criteria — the same input the authoritative AttackSuccessEvaluator uses — so the two never disagree on what counts as success, while the evaluator remains the sole verdict over the full trace. Parse failures degrade safely (question -> terminate preserving the conversation; judge -> score 0 and keep looping); only the evaluator raises. The attacker model resolves to the ctor model first, then the experiment model. CrescendoStrategy is exported but intentionally NOT in BUILTIN_STRATEGIES (it is user-instantiated with params).

Each failure line now also shows the attacker's objective and the strategy's per-run stats (turns used, backtracks) so a multi-turn result like Crescendo is legible at a glance, not just a single score. The strategy's run metadata reaches the report by merging AttackRunResult.metadata onto the case metadata in the task function; the base Experiment shares that dict with the EvaluationData it builds, so no base change is needed. Full turn-by-turn conversation output is left for a future verbose mode.

Live (real-Bedrock) runs surfaced a wiring bug these mock tests now guard: the strategy's run metadata (turns_used, backtracks) never reached the report. task_fn mutated case.metadata, but Pydantic copies that dict into a fresh EvaluationData, and the base Experiment doesn't carry task-returned metadata anyway. Fix: the experiment now collects each case's run metadata (keyed by case name) and joins it onto the report in RedTeamReport.from_evaluation_reports — keeping the base untouched and the collection logic on the RedTeamExperiment layer (where it stays put if the experiment later stops extending the base).

Correctness: - Cross-product expansion was mutating self._cases in place, so re-running an experiment squared it (c0__cre -> c0__cre__cre). _expand_cross_product is now pure (returns a new list) and run_evaluations_async swaps/restores self._cases around the base run, making reruns idempotent. - is_refusal flagged compliant text containing refusal substrings ("I cannot stress enough... here are the steps", "I apologize, here is..."), dropping successful attacks from the trace and biasing results toward "attack failed". Markers are now only a cheap negative prefilter; on a marker hit a refusal judge (the previously-unused REFUSAL_JUDGE_SYSTEM_PROMPT) disambiguates, with a safe "keep the turn" fallback on parse failure. Maintainability: - Removed the leaky AttackRunResult.trajectory field (the task owns the trace via call_target); task_fn now assembles the output/trajectory payload directly. - Unified turns_used to "turns kept in the conversation" across strategies; Crescendo additionally reports target_calls (incl. refused, backtracked calls). - Documented max_turns as an experiment-level ceiling (strategy runs min of the two), the no-success_criteria behavior, and the max_workers=1 requirement; run_evaluations_async now rejects max_workers != 1 instead of relying on a comment. - Dropped the now-unused resolve_strategy/DEFAULT_STRATEGY public surface. Tests: idempotency, refusal false-positives + judge disambiguation, all-refusal empty conversation, ctor-vs-injected max_turns both directions, no-criteria run, direct async entry + coroutine/max_workers guards; e2e now asserts exact turns_used/backtracks with an engaging (non-refusal) target.

Each strategy now owns its turn budget; the task passes MAX_ALLOWED_TURNS (50) as a hard ceiling, so turn_cap = min(strategy.max_turns, 50). Removed max_turns from RedTeamExperiment.__init__ entirely.

Crescendo now does a real state rollback on a refusal for rewindable (Agent) targets and degrades to report-scope backtracking for opaque callables; both keep the refused turn in AttackRunResult.pruned_branches as defended-turn evidence. The report surfaces that evidence: display() is flattened to a case x strategy matrix plus a per-attack table (every attack, breached and defended), closing the gap where a fully-defended run looked empty. Score aggregation across evaluators switches min -> max (worst-case = strongest attack). The trace is rolled back alongside messages so backtracked tool calls no longer ghost into the trajectory.

Matrix now pivots on the base case name: the cross-product names work items "{case}__{strategy}", so without stripping the suffix every cell landed on its own row and the case x strategy grid was meaningless (AR-5). - Replace the snapshot.app_data["_trace_len"] mutation with an explicit TargetCheckpoint(agent_snapshot, trace_len) dataclass returned by snapshot() and consumed by restore() — no stashing internal keys on the SDK object, and trace/messages roll back together (AR-1/AR-2). - Move per-case isolation into TargetSession.reset() (clears the wrapped agent's history + trace) instead of task.py reaching into agent.messages (AR-7). Verified live against Bedrock: backtrack still rolls back (backtracks=4, blocked=4) and the 2x2 cross-product matrix renders one row per case.
