This is a **complete feature implementation**, not just tests. + +## What Was Implemented + +### 1. **Core Interface Extensions** + +**Python (`py/src/braintrust/framework.py`):** +- Extended `EvalHooks` abstract base class to include `experiment` property +- Added `trial_index` property for multi-trial evaluations +- Both properties are accessible to task functions via the hooks parameter + +**JavaScript (`js/src/framework.ts`):** +- Extended `EvalHooks` interface to include `experiment: Experiment | undefined` +- Added `trialIndex: number` for multi-trial evaluations +- TypeScript definitions ensure type safety + +### 2. **Implementation Details** + +**Python `DictEvalHooks` Class:** +```python +class DictEvalHooks: + def __init__(self, metadata=None, expected=None, experiment=None, trial_index=0): + # Stores both experiment and trial_index + + @property + def experiment(self) -> Optional["Experiment"]: + return self._experiment # No fallback - truthful context + + @property + def trial_index(self) -> int: + return self.get("trial_index") +``` + +**JavaScript Hook Object Creation:** +```typescript +const hooks: EvalHooks = { + meta, + metadata, + expected, + span, + experiment: experiment ?? undefined, // Convert null to undefined + parameters: parameters ?? {}, + reportProgress, + trialIndex, +}; +``` + +### 3. **Key Design Decisions** + +1. **No Fallback Logic**: When `experiment=null`, hooks.experiment is `None`/`undefined` + - This ensures hooks accurately reflect actual evaluation context + - Prevents misleading associations with unrelated experiments + +2. **Backward Compatibility**: All existing code continues to work unchanged + - Tasks that don't use hooks parameter still function normally + - Optional experiment parameter doesn't break existing evaluations + +3. **Type Safety**: Proper TypeScript definitions handle optional experiment + - `experiment: Experiment | undefined` allows for truthful null handling + - Prevents runtime type errors + +### 4. **Integration Points** + +**Python Evaluation Pipeline:** +```python +# In run_evaluator_internal() +hooks = DictEvalHooks( + metadata=metadata, + expected=datum.expected, + experiment=experiment, # Passed from evaluation context + trial_index=trial_index +) +``` + +**JavaScript Evaluation Pipeline:** +```typescript +// In runEvaluatorInternal() +const outputResult = evaluator.task(datum.input, { + // ... other properties + experiment: experiment ?? undefined, + trialIndex, +});
