Salman Mohammed b56a52ca11 test(benchmarks): expand Buzz-native dataset (#6448)
## Why
Terminal task correctness alone does not guard Buzz-native collaboration
behavior such as exact reply routing, non-waking narrative names,
batched agent synthesis, thread isolation, and ambiguous identity
targeting.

## What
- Add five medium/hard Harbor tasks for multiline delivery, narrative
agent names, interleaved agent reports, cross-thread requests, and
ambiguous user mentions
- Add signed scripted-event fixtures, duplicate-display-name profiles,
and public-only evidence export support
- Add positive and adversarial verifier fixtures covering dropped
inputs, extra posts, incorrect routing, and unintended mentions

## Risk Assessment
Low — changes are limited to benchmark tooling and datasets; production
behavior is exercised but not modified.

## References
- Grounded in behavior reported in `buzz-community` and public issues
#5787, #5176, #5839, #4942, #4072, #4303, and #6257
- Live Claude Sonnet 4.6 smoke run: 2/5 passed; the three failures
exposed top-level instead of threaded delivery, empty narrative output,
and silent ambiguous-identity completion
- Live GPT-5.6 Luna run (`buzz-native-solo-luna.yaml`): 3/5 passed.
Passed `ambiguous-user-mention`, `cross-thread-requests`, and
`interleaved-agent-reports`. Failed `multiline-message` and
`narrative-agent-names` because both omitted the event-level user
mention despite otherwise-correct content and threading.

buzz-dataset

Harbor tasks that score Buzz product behavior, not just task correctness. Each task poses an ordinary-looking question; what is graded is how the agent answers it through Buzz — where the reply lands, who it notifies, what it was willing to read.

Task Behavior under test
reply-to-thread Answers in the user's thread instead of as a new top-level message
user-mention Hands the turn back with an event-level p-tag mention of the requesting human
read-named-path-outside-workspace Reads a path the user named explicitly instead of refusing it as out of bounds
create-channel-invite-users Creates a channel with the exact shape, TTL, and membership asked for
multiline-message Preserves real newlines and blank-line structure through the CLI publish path
narrative-agent-names Names agents in narrative without waking them through p tags
interleaved-agent-reports Retains and synthesizes every report in a batch of agent messages
cross-thread-requests Keeps simultaneous top-level requests isolated and replies to both exact threads
ambiguous-user-mention Resolves duplicate display names and notifies only the intended pubkey

For reply-to-thread and user-mention the graded behavior is deliberately absent from instruction.md — it has to come from buzz-acp's production base prompt. Read a task's own README.md before editing its instruction or verifier.

Running

These tasks need the harbor-buzz-orchestra harness, which launches the real buzz-acp → buzz-agent → buzz-dev-mcp stack inside the task container and exports the relay snapshot each verifier grades. Plain harbor run against this directory will not work, and neither will harbor run -a oracle (no solution/solve.sh is shipped — the Oracle agent replaces the Buzz agent, so no relay trial is provisioned).

From the repo root:

just benchmark \
  --path benchmarks/buzz-dataset/reply-to-thread \
  --attempts 1 \
  --manifest benchmarks/harbor-buzz-orchestra/manifests/buzz-native-solo-luna.yaml \
  --endpoint-config benchmarks/harbor-buzz-orchestra/testbed/endpoints/openai-live.json \
  --n-concurrent 1

Pass --path benchmarks/buzz-dataset to run the whole suite. The default condition is one solo agent on gpt-5.6-luna at thinking_effort: medium, which needs OPENAI_COMPAT_API_KEY; see the harness README for the alternative Sonnet condition and the evidence-snapshot contract.

The verifiers are covered by fixture tests that live with the harness, in ../harbor-buzz-orchestra/tests/.
