What

Make the agent reasoning effort configurable on the openshift-claude-agent-eval step the same way the model already is.

  • Adds EVAL_EFFORT env (passed to /eval-run as --effort).
  • Adds MULTISTAGE_PARAM_OVERRIDE_EVAL_EFFORT Gangway override, mirroring the existing EVAL_MODEL / MULTISTAGE_PARAM_OVERRIDE_EVAL_MODEL pattern.

Why

We want to sweep effort levels (e.g. codex low/medium/high/xhigh) on the payload-analysis eval job without editing the eval config, and to be able to override effort per-invocation through the Gangway API like the other eval variables.

Behavior

Empty EVAL_EFFORT keeps the runner.effort default from the eval config, so existing jobs are unchanged unless the variable is set.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

The openshift-claude-agent-eval CI step now supports configurable reasoning effort.

  • It reads EVAL_EFFORT and passes the value to /eval-run with --effort.
  • It supports the MULTISTAGE_PARAM_OVERRIDE_EVAL_EFFORT Gangway override.
  • CI users can sweep low, medium, high, and xhigh effort levels without changing the eval configuration.
  • The existing runner.effort default remains unchanged when EVAL_EFFORT is empty.

Make the agent reasoning effort configurable on the eval step the same
way the model already is. Adds an EVAL_EFFORT env var (passed to
/eval-run as --effort) and a MULTISTAGE_PARAM_OVERRIDE_EVAL_EFFORT
Gangway override, mirroring the existing EVAL_MODEL /
MULTISTAGE_PARAM_OVERRIDE_EVAL_MODEL pattern. Empty EVAL_EFFORT keeps
the runner.effort default from the eval config, so behavior is
unchanged unless the var is set.

Walkthrough

The agent evaluation step now supports optional reasoning-effort configuration. Gangway can override the setting, and the command forwards non-empty values to /eval-run as --effort.

Changes

Agent evaluation effort

Layer / File(s) Summary
Effort parameter contract
ci-operator/step-registry/openshift/claude/agent-eval/openshift-claude-agent-eval-ref.yaml, ci-operator/step-registry/openshift/claude/agent-eval/openshift-claude-agent-eval-commands.sh
Defines EVAL_EFFORT and its Gangway override, with defaults and supported-value documentation.
Effort argument forwarding
ci-operator/step-registry/openshift/claude/agent-eval/openshift-claude-agent-eval-commands.sh
Adds --effort to /eval-run arguments when EVAL_EFFORT is non-empty.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e8830

The new effort override is passed through command construction, and values containing whitespace or shell syntax could be interpreted as additional arguments if boundaries are not preserved. The PR is otherwise mergeable, but the command invocation should be verified before merge.

Hi @not-stbenjam. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Tip

We noticed you've done this a few times! Consider joining the org to skip this step and gain /lgtm and other bot rights. We recommend asking approvers on your previous PRs to sponsor you.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Preserve EVAL_EFFORT as one argument.

EVAL_EFFORT can come from MULTISTAGE_PARAM_OVERRIDE_EVAL_EFFORT, so its value is externally supplied. This line concatenates it into the whitespace-delimited EVAL_RUN_ARGS string. If the later /eval-run call expands that string unquoted, whitespace can add extra CLI arguments. If it uses eval, shell syntax can be interpreted. Verify the consumer and pass --effort and its value as separate Bash-array elements.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

path="ci-operator/step-registry/openshift/claude/agent-eval/openshift-claude-agent-eval-commands.sh"

sed -n '500,530p' "$path"
rg -n -C 6 'EVAL_RUN_ARGS|/eval-run|(^|[[:space:]])eval([[:space:]]|$)' "$path" || true

Expected result: the /eval-run invocation preserves argument boundaries and does not pass EVAL_RUN_ARGS through eval.
