riverbend-model-judge.toml

# The same demo target, graded by a model judge instead of the lexical
# default. This file exists to show the shape of the configuration; running it
# against a real API costs money and produces a report that says, on its face,
# that a model produced the scores.
#
#   # 1. Record the judgments (makes the calls; writes the cache).
#   ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m plumbline audit \
#       --config examples/riverbend-model-judge.toml --out audits
#
#   # 2. Commit judgments/riverbend-model.json, then gate on it offline
#   #    forever after. `plumbline gate` refuses mode = "live" outright.
#   PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m plumbline gate \
#       --config examples/riverbend-model-judge.toml
#
# Why a cache and not just a live call each time: a model judge is not
# reproducible. The vendor API no longer even offers the sampling knobs people
# used to set to pretend otherwise — current Anthropic models reject
# `temperature`, and it never guaranteed identical output anyway. So the
# judgments themselves become committed evidence: recorded once, readable by a
# reviewer, hashed into the report, and replayed offline by every later run.
