• Medium/High Reconcile the active evaluator setup guide with the new boundary — The added README text says not to build new evaluators against the retired server-push contract and that no evaluator module is distributed. However, docs/reference/evaluator-sdk.mdx remains in the current docs navigation and instructs customers to install failproofai-sdk, import failproofai.evaluator, and expose POST /evaluate. The SDK package contains no evaluator module, so following that guide produces an import failure and directly contradicts the new migration guidance. (sdk/python/README.md:16)

• Medium/High Retire the still-published inbound evaluator guide — The new README says agenteye-evaluator is retired and no evaluator module is distributed (sdk/python/README.md:15-20). However, docs/docs.json:202 keeps the evaluator guide in active navigation, and docs/reference/evaluator-sdk.mdx:9, 47-49, and 130 instructs customers to install/import agenteye_evaluator and implement POST /evaluate. Customers following the current docs are therefore directed to the retired server-push contract the PR tells them not to adopt. (sdk/python/README.md:16)

• Medium/High Retire the active inbound evaluator guide — The PR says the legacy inbound agenteye-evaluator contract is retired (sdk/python/README.md:15-19), but docs/docs.json:202 retains reference/evaluator-sdk in active navigation and docs/reference/evaluator-sdk.mdx:8-10, 42-45, and 112-129 instructs users to install/import agenteye_evaluator and expose POST /evaluate. The same guide is also localized in the active docs tree. (sdk/python/README.md:15)

Isolate these config tests from an inherited FAILPROOFAI_EVALUATOR_WORKER_ID.

WorkerConfig.from_env validates the worker id at lines 86-93 of runtime.py, before the timeout comparison at line 118. If the developer environment exports FAILPROOFAI_EVALUATOR_WORKER_ID with an invalid value, test_worker_config_keeps_long_poll_inside_the_http_timeout raises a different ValueError and the "must exceed" match fails. Delete the variable to make both tests independent of the ambient environment.

The same applies to the other from_env tests that set only a subset of the variables. A shared autouse fixture that clears every FAILPROOFAI_EVALUATOR_* variable would cover all of them.

Consider draining active assignments and backing off before the loop exits.

Two points about this error path:

1. Line 209 raises out of run_forever before await self.drain() at line 223. Assignments that are still running are neither cancelled nor awaited, so on_cancel hooks do not run and pending results are abandoned. The server lease expiry recovers the work, so the impact is limited, but a try/finally around the loop makes shutdown uniform for both exit paths.
2. The retryable server-error branch waits a fixed 1.0 second. Repeated 503 responses produce steady one-second polling per worker. A bounded exponential delay with jitter reduces load during an outage.

Handle unexpected heartbeat errors so lease renewal survives a non-API failure.

The loop only handles EvaluatorAPIError. Any other exception, for example an OSError from the socket layer or a decoding ValueError, leaves the while True loop. process_assignment then cancels the heartbeat task at line 353 and gathers it with return_exceptions=True, so the exception is discarded. Lease renewal stops silently for the rest of the assignment, and long evaluations lose the lease.

Catch Exception for the unexpected case and continue the loop.

• Medium/High Timed-out synchronous evaluations continue running — Synchronous evaluators are run with asyncio.to_thread at runtime.py:487, but their coroutine is only awaited through asyncio.wait_for at lines 376-380. Cancelling that await cannot terminate the underlying thread; the runtime sends a timed_out result afterward. A nested-container reproduction with a synchronous evaluator sleeping 0.2 seconds and timeout_seconds=0.01 submitted timed_out before the function completed, then observed the function complete later. Side effects can therefore occur after the worker has reported the run terminal and cancellation hooks may race the still-running function. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/runtime.py:487)
• Medium/High Retire the active inbound evaluator guide — The changed SDK README says the inbound agenteye-evaluator contract is retired at lines 15-19, but active navigation still exposes reference/evaluator-sdk in docs/docs.json:194-203. That page tells users to install/import agenteye_evaluator (docs/reference/evaluator-sdk.mdx:9) and deploy a POST /evaluate service (lines 126-141), which is incompatible with the new outbound worker model.

• Medium/High An invalid managed condition still crashes the assignment — compile_condition(descriptor.condition_source) at runtime.py:334-341 executes before the surrounding try at line 346. Therefore an unsafe or malformed managed condition_source raises out of process_assignment; no plan is sent and the assignment is reclaimed until retry exhaustion. This bypasses the stated poison-definition containment, which only defers compilation of evaluator_source. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/runtime.py:334)

• Medium/High Falsy execution modes are silently converted to local mode — AssignmentDefinition.from_wire and PlannedRun.from_wire use data.get("execution_mode") or "local" at protocol.py:345-349 and :527-531. Thus present invalid values such as false, 0, or "" are accepted as ExecutionMode.LOCAL rather than rejected. An isolated probe confirmed all four falsy values, including false, parse as local. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/protocol.py:345)

• Medium/High Falsy execution modes are silently converted to local mode — Both AssignmentDefinition.from_wire (protocol.py:345-349) and PlannedRun.from_wire (protocol.py:527-531) parse data.get("execution_mode") or "local". Thus present invalid values such as false, 0, or "" bypass _enum validation and become ExecutionMode.LOCAL. A nested-container probe parsed execution_mode: false for both models and printed local. This can run a matching local definition instead of rejecting a malformed server response. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/protocol.py:347)

• Medium/High Bind session in eval globals for supported Python 3.10 comprehensions — compile_condition and compile_evaluator pass session only as eval locals at source.py:455 and source.py:487. On Python 3.10, an allowed list/set/dict comprehension resolves session through eval globals, so managed source such as EvalResult(score=Score([session.event_count for i in [1]][0])) raises NameError. The SDK declares requires-python >=3.10; the exact expression failed in a Python 3.10 container. The runtime converts this into a failed run (or condition_error), making valid managed definitions unusable on that supported interpreter. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/source.py:487)
• Low/High Update the skill that still directs users to the retired evaluator package — The changed README states that legacy inbound agenteye-evaluator is retired and must not be used for new evaluator services, while sdk/python/skill/SKILL.md:13 still directs evaluator-service work to agenteye-evaluator. Users following the SDK skill are therefore sent to the retired server-push boundary instead of the new outbound runtime. (sdk/python/skill/SKILL.md:13)

• Medium/High Managed list comprehensions that reference session fail on supported Python 3.10 — The compiler permits ListComp, but eval passes session only as locals while using a separate globals dict (source.py:468 and 500). On Python 3.10, comprehension bodies resolve session through globals: the nested-container probe of [session.event_count for i in [1]][0] >= 0 raised NameError. The package advertises Python >=3.10, so valid managed conditions and evaluator expressions are submitted as failed runs on that runtime. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/source.py:468)
• Low/High SDK skill still routes evaluator development to the retired package — The new README states that agenteye-evaluator is retired and Evaluator v2 is under failproofai_sdk.evaluator, but sdk/python/skill/SKILL.md:13 still tells agents building an evaluator service to use agenteye-evaluator. Agents following the shipped guidance will choose the retired inbound contract instead of this runtime. (sdk/python/skill/SKILL.md:13)

• Medium/High Do not apply a local condition to a managed definition — While processing every descriptor, local is looked up solely by key and version (runtime.py lines 325-328). The condition selection then prefers local.condition whenever that lookup succeeds (lines 340-350), without checking descriptor.execution_mode. The later execution path correctly switches on the descriptor's mode (lines 419-447). Thus, if a worker has a local hosted@1 with when=lambda _: False and the server sends a python definition with the same key/version and condition_source="True", the runtime skips the server-managed run instead of evaluating its condition. The inverse can execute a managed definition whose server condition should have skipped it. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/runtime.py:340)

• Medium/High Timed-out synchronous local evaluators continue consuming worker threads — runtime.py runs synchronous evaluator functions in the bounded ThreadPoolExecutor (lines 651-655) and wraps only the await in asyncio.wait_for (lines 499-503). On timeout it submits a terminal timed_out result (lines 520-586), releasing the evaluation semaphore, but cancellation cannot stop the already-running executor thread. In an isolated container, a synchronous function sleeping 0.4 seconds with timeout_seconds=0.05 submitted timed_out, and a subsequent executor invocation waited the remaining 0.35 seconds. With an indefinitely blocked synchronous evaluator, each configured executor thread is permanently lost while the runtime continues claiming work; subsequent evaluations queue and time out without executing. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/runtime.py:499)
• Medium/High Sequential condition selection can exceed the assignment lease before heartbeats begin — process_assignment evaluates every descriptor condition serially before creating the plan or heartbeat task (runtime.py lines 329-390; the heartbeat starts only at lines 463-477). Managed conditions are allowed a per-definition sandbox budget up to 60 seconds (source.py lines 53-57 and runtime.py lines 353-359), while registration only requires lease_duration_seconds to exceed heartbeat_interval_seconds (runtime.py lines 207-220). Thus two near-budget managed conditions can consume a 120-second lease before the plan request, and more definitions make the failure certain; the worker does not use assignment.lease_expires_at to cap this phase. The plan will then be fenced as lease_lost, causing repeated reclamation rather than result submission. (sdk/python/failproofai_sdk/evaluator/runtime.py:329)
