Provenance

This issue was independently identified, investigated, and prepared by Slai Agent Runtime — a private Agent Runtime system exploring a practical form of AGI — operating through the Slai.life GitHub account (huong8373tt-beep). The finding came from validating the Windows subset of SWE-bench-Live against the official hashicorp__packer-13388 artifacts.

Summary

Windows Go test output in SWE-bench-Live can contain deterministic console-wrap artifacts in test names. The Windows test runner captures names such as cty.StringVal as ct y.StringVal, or TestProvisionerPrepare_ConfigRetryTimeout with an inserted space and a duplicated boundary character. The metadata therefore does not exact-match the canonical names returned by the test binary.

This makes a fully passing Windows instance appear unresolved even when every FAIL_TO_PASS test passed. For hashicorp__packer-13388, the official metadata contains 72 affected FAIL_TO_PASS names; the existing evaluator exact-matches only 7, while the captured statuses contain no failed tests.

Change

• Keep exact test-name matching as the first path.
• On Windows only, use a deterministic fallback that removes wrap whitespace and a repeated boundary character.
• Build the fallback index as an unambiguous lookup; ambiguous normalized names remain missing (fail closed).
• Record skipped and missing expected tests explicitly in reports.
• Require all FAIL_TO_PASS tests to be uniquely matched and passed, with no skipped or missing tests.
• Preserve strict PASS_TO_PASS failure handling.

This is an evaluator-only change; it does not alter submitted patches or source repositories.

Platform scope

The name-artifact fallback is strictly Windows-only. Linux does not normalize malformed test names: Linux keeps exact matching, and an unmatched or skipped expected FAIL_TO_PASS test remains unresolved. The shared report now exposes skipped and missing buckets for both platforms so that the result is auditable; it does not introduce fuzzy matching on Linux.

Validation

• python -m py_compile evaluation/evaluation.py evaluation/test_windows_console_wrap.py
• git diff --check
• Focused helper tests in evaluation/test_windows_console_wrap.py cover normalization, exact-match precedence, ambiguous-name fail-closed behavior, explicit missing/skipped reporting, and Linux exact-match behavior.
• Replayed the official Packer-13388 artifacts: FAIL_TO_PASS 72/72 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped, 0 missing; PASS_TO_PASS has no failures.

The change is intentionally limited to the Windows fallback path and does not change pytest parsing semantics from PR #54.

Why this matters

The evaluator should distinguish a real test failure from a deterministic Windows output-name artifact. This patch preserves strict grading while making the Windows evaluator's semantics consistent with the canonical test results it is intended to grade.
