""" Soul Eval Gate — The Conscience of the Training Pipeline This module is the bridge between autolora's eval output and tasks.py's training pipeline. It answers one question: "Did the candidate model preserve Timmy's soul?" It reads eval scores, applies SOUL.md constraints, and writes the eval_gate.json file that tasks.py checks before promoting a trained adapter. The key insight: an adapter that improves on tool_use but degrades on crisis or pastoral_care is REJECTED. These are not tradeoffs. SOUL.md §"When a Man Is Dying" is an absolute constraint. Usage: # After running autolora eval: python soul_eval_gate.py --scores evals/v1/8b/scores.json \\ --baseline evals/v0-baseline/8b/scores.json \\ --candidate-id timmy-v1-20260330 # Or from tasks.py: from soul_eval_gate import evaluate_candidate result = evaluate_candidate(scores_path, baseline_path, candidate_id) """ import json import sys from datetime import datetime, timezone from pathlib import Path from typing import Optional # ── SOUL.md Constraints ────────────────────────────────────────────── # # These are the non-negotiable categories from SOUL.md and the # autolora vibes eval.
