+## Evaluate an agent against a Scenario
+
+`hue eval` runs a developer's local agent against a published Hue Scenario or a saved eval set
+and prints Hue's verdicts. It is the command-line form of `runSimulation()` (one-shot) and
+`runLocalAgent()` (worker): the agent, its prompts and its provider credentials stay in the local
+process, Hue creates one isolated simulated world per case, and Hue-owned outcome checks grade
+the sealed world. Hue never executes the agent. `HUE_API_KEY` must be a **Tracing and
+evaluations** project key (a **Tracing only** key cannot read Scenarios or create experiments);
+the CLI never prints it. The optional `zod` peer of `@hue-run/sdk/evals` must be installed.
+
+Write an adapter module that hands the case inputs and the world's tools or MCP connection to
+the real agent. The module exports `default` or `runMyAgent`; `context` is the SDK's
+`SimulationTargetContext` (`tools`, `mcp`, `config`, `item`, `executionId`, `environmentRunId`,
+`signal`):
+
+```ts
+// hue-agent.ts: erasable TypeScript only; Node.js 24 and Bun strip the types natively.
+import type { JsonValue, SimulationTargetContext } from "@hue-run/sdk/evals";
+import { runAgent } from "./src/agent.js"; // The application's existing entry point.
+
+export default function runMyAgent(inputs: JsonValue, context: SimulationTargetContext) {
+  // Hand context.tools or context.mcp to the agent's real tool boundary; configuration alone
+  // does not redirect provider calls. Pass context.signal for cooperative cancellation.
+  const { config, tools, mcp, signal } = context;
+  return runAgent({ inputs, config, tools, mcp, signal });
+}
+```
+
+```sh
+hue eval --scenario "Refund an eligible charge" ./hue-agent.ts --env-file .env.hue
+hue eval --scenario https://app.hue.run/projects/demo/scenarios/<id> ./hue-agent.ts --baseline <experiment id>
+hue eval --set "Billing regressions" --scorer-version <id> ./hue-agent.ts --save-version
+hue eval --scenario "Refund an eligible charge" --command "python agent.py" --timeout 120 --content
+hue eval --worker ./hue-agent.ts --agent-key support-agent --env-file .env.hue
+```
+
+The one-shot mode resolves the selection (`--scenario` by name, ID or URL; `--set` by name, ID or
+URL with explicit `--scorer-version` pins; or `--dataset-version` with `--scorer-version`),
+creates a fresh experiment from those immutable pins named `<scenario> · <agent key> · <revision>`
+(`--name` overrides), prints `Run: <url>` and `Experiment: <id>` as soon as the experiment exists,
+one line per case event (world created, agent started, world sealed), then
+`Waiting for Hue checks...` and a table with one row per case: boolean metrics as `PASS`/`FAIL`,
+numbers as values, text and category metrics as-is, an overall result per case and a pass count.
+Failing cases print the scorer explanation. `--baseline <experiment id|url>` adds improvement,
+regression and unchanged counts with per-case deltas. `--json` prints one JSON document
+(`experimentId`, `runId`, `runUrl`, `complete`, `cases`, `totals`, optional `baseline`) on stdout
+and sends progress to stderr. `--wait <seconds>` (default 300) bounds the verdict wait because
+Hue-owned `world_outcome` checks are graded after the world seals. An experiment always covers
+every case of the saved version; there is no case subset.
+
+`--command "<shell command>"` spawns the command once per case with `HUE_MCP_URL`,
+`HUE_MCP_TOKEN`, `HUE_MCP_EXPIRES_AT`, `HUE_EXECUTION_ID`, `HUE_ENVIRONMENT_RUN_ID`, `HUE_CASE_ID`
+and `HUE_CASE_KEY` in its environment and `{"inputs": ..., "config": ...}` on stdin. Its stdout is
+the answer (JSON when it parses, otherwise trimmed text; empty means no output); a non-zero exit
+or the per-case `--timeout` (default 600 seconds) is a target failure. The scoped MCP token is
+never logged. The agent key defaults to the slug of the command's script name.
+
+`--worker` registers the adapter through `runLocalAgent()` with key `--agent-key` (default: the
+adapter filename slug), name `--agent-name` (default: the key), revision `--revision` (default:
+`AGENT_REVISION`, then the Git `HEAD` short hash, then `dev`) and capability `environment:v1`,
+prints the registration and each claimed run with its URL, executes runs launched from Hue until
+Ctrl+C or `--max-runs <n>`, and prints the verdict table after each run. Selection flags do not
+apply; Hue chooses the pinned experiment. The worker exits 0 when it stops normally.
+
+A Scenario or eval set whose dataset version is not saved cannot back an experiment: the command
+exits 1 and asks for **Save eval-set version** in Hue or `--save-version`, which freezes that
+version at its current revision. Connection settings are `HUE_API_KEY` and `HUE_BASE_URL`
+(default `https://app.hue.run`), loaded from `--env-file <path>` first when given; `--origin`
+overrides the origin. Telemetry content capture stays off unless `--content` is passed; in
+one-shot mode it also decides whether case outputs, error messages and explanations are persisted
+to Hue. `--worker` always persists them, because a run launched from Hue is read on its run page:
+that is `runLocalAgent()`'s contract and `--content` does not change it. Trace evidence is required
+for every case.
+Resumable checkpoints live in `.hue/eval/<agent-key>/<project id>/` (a `.gitignore` is written
+inside `.hue/eval/`); `--checkpoint-dir` overrides the root. Rerunning the same selection resumes
+an interrupted run without invoking the agent again; a different selection is refused until the
+unfinished one is resumed or its directory is removed.
+
+Exit codes: `0` every case passed, `1` a case failed, errored, was skipped or Hue's checks were
+still pending at `--wait`, `2` usage or configuration error (including a missing key), `130`
+interrupted. On Node.js 22, load TypeScript adapters with `NODE_OPTIONS=--experimental-strip-types`;
+non-erasable syntax (enums, parameter properties, namespaces) needs a loader such as `--import tsx`
+on any Node.js version.
+
+## Evaluate a document eval set
+
+Eval sets whose cases pin no simulated world — a task plus pinned input files, answered with
+generated documents — run as **direct** cases through `runExperiment()`. `hue eval` detects this
+from the saved version (`--mode direct|simulation` overrides the detection; `--scenario` is always
+a simulation). `--set` accepts the eval set's slug, name, ID or URL; `--set-version <n>` pins a
+saved version other than the latest; `--scorer <slug|name|id>` pins an evaluator at its newest
+published version, beside or instead of explicit `--scorer-version` IDs.
+
+```sh
+hue eval --set gia-d1-citation --scorer gia-d1-citation \
+  --command "pnpm --filter @august/frontend run hue:gia-agent" \
+  --revision prompt-v10 --wait 1800 --json --env-file .env.hue
+hue eval --set gia-d1-citation --set-version 1 --scorer gia-d1-citation ./hue-agent.ts --baseline <experiment id>
+```
+
+For each case the command is spawned once **inside a private case directory** with
+`HUE_CASE_DIR`, `HUE_CASE_INPUTS`, `HUE_CASE_OUTPUT_DIR`, `HUE_CASE_ID`, `HUE_CASE_KEY` and
+`HUE_EXECUTION_ID` in its environment (`{"inputs","config"}` is also written to stdin):
+
+```text
+<case dir>/inputs.json            the case inputs (for example {"query": "...", "tipo_diligencia": "Virtual"})
+<case dir>/case.json              id, external key, execution id, run config, staged file list
+<case dir>/files/<role>/<name>    verified copies of the agent-visible pinned files
+<case dir>/output/                write the generated documents here
+```
+
+Every regular file the command leaves under `output/` is uploaded as a generated document
+(accepted: `.pdf .docx .pptx .xlsx .json .txt .csv .png .jpg .jpeg .webp`; another extension or an
+empty file is the case's error). Optional helpers: `manifest.json` (`{"primary": "<filename>",
+"output": <json>}`) names the primary document and the JSON output; `result.json` is the JSON
+output; `summary.txt` or `summary.md` is recorded as `{"summary": "..."}`. When none is written,
+the command's stdout is the output (JSON when it parses). A single generated file is the primary
+document by default. Model and provider credentials stay in the command's own environment; the
+scoped case files are copies under `--checkpoint-dir` (default `.hue/eval/<agent-key>/<project>/direct/<experiment>`).
+
+An adapter file works too: it is called with `(inputs, context)` where `context.mode` is
+`"direct"` and `context` carries `config`, `item`, `executionId`, `files` (agent-visible pinned
+files on disk), `outputDirectory` and `signal`. Return a JSON value, or `withFiles(output, files)`
+from `@hue-run/sdk/evals` to attach generated documents.
+
+Code evaluators pinned to the run are **not** executed on your machine: the CLI leaves them
+deferred (`deferUnboundLocalScorers`) and Hue's grading executor scores the uploaded documents;
+evaluator-only pinned files such as a legal corpus are never downloaded. `Waiting for Hue
+checks...` then covers that grading, so size `--wait` to the evaluator's runtime. The
+`--json` document gains `"mode": "direct"` and `"deferredScorerVersionIds"`. Exit codes, `--baseline`
+and checkpoints behave as for Scenarios.

+## Direct cases and files
+
+Cases without a simulated world — document workflows whose inputs are a task plus pinned files —
+run on the same runner under the same checkpoint rules. This is unreleased and ships in the next
+`@hue-run/sdk` release. It requires a Hue deployment that serves case `inputFiles` on experiment
+items, subject `files`, and the artifact reservation, upload, completion and download APIs. The
+Python SDK has no equivalent.
+
+On the outbound worker, supply `directTarget` beside or instead of `target`. Supplying
+`directTarget` registers the `direct:v1` capability and supplying `target` registers
+`environment:v1` (both strings are exported as `localAgentCapabilities`). Declare the file
+capabilities the agent accepts and returns — `input:docx`, `input:pdf`, `output:docx` and so on — so
+Hue matches them against each case's `hue.requiredCapabilities` metadata and offers only matching
+cases. `registeredCapabilities` refuses a registration that names a capability without its callback.
+
+```ts
+import { basename } from "node:path";
+import { createEnvironmentClient } from "@hue-run/sdk/environment";
+import { createEvaluationClient, runLocalAgent, withFiles } from "@hue-run/sdk/evals";
+import { runMyAgent } from "./document-agent.js"; // Your existing application entry point.
+import { letterGrader } from "./letter-grader.js"; // A defineLocalScorer binding.
+
+await runLocalAgent({
+  client: createEvaluationClient(connection),
+  environmentClient: createEnvironmentClient(connection),
+  hue,
+  checkpointDirectory: ".hue-checkpoints/document-worker",
+  agent: {
+    key: "letter-agent",
+    name: "Letter agent",
+    revision: process.env.GIT_COMMIT!,
+    capabilities: ["input:docx", "input:pdf", "output:docx"], // direct:v1 is added for directTarget
+  },
+  scorers: [letterGrader], // Its callback reads context.files.
+  directTarget: async (inputs, { config, files, outputDirectory }) => {
+    // `files` are verified copies of the case's agent-visible input files on disk.
+    const { summary, documents } = await runMyAgent({ inputs, config, files, outputDirectory });
+    return withFiles(
+      { summary },
+      documents.map((path, index) => ({
+        path,
+        filename: basename(path),
+        contentType: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document",
+        primary: index === 0,
+      })),
+    );
+  },
+});
+```
+
+The direct callback receives cloned inputs and an allowlisted context of `config`,
+`item: {id, externalKey}`, `executionId`, `trace: {traceId,spanId}`, `files` and `outputDirectory`,
+plus the worker's `signal` when one was supplied. Expected outcomes and case metadata stay with
+grading, as they do for world cases.
+
+Before an execution exists, `runExperiment` downloads every pinned input file named by the frozen
+case's `inputFiles` and verifies byte count and SHA-256. A download failure is an SDK failure and
+consumes no execution slot; a file already saved with the pinned identity is reused instead of
+downloaded again. The target sees only the agent-visible roles — `source`, `attached_template`,
+`attached_reference` and `original` — as `context.files`; evaluator-only
+`org_template` and `evaluator_reference` files (an organization's template, a legal corpus, an
+answer key) reach scorers but not the agent, and are not even downloaded when no bound code
+evaluator runs in this process. Verified copies live under `filesDirectory` (default
+`<checkpointDirectory>/files`, created mode 0700), and each case gets its own private
+`context.outputDirectory` to write into.
+
+Return generated documents by wrapping the output in `withFiles(output, files)`. Each entry names a
+`path` or in-memory `bytes`, a `filename`, a Hue-accepted `contentType` and at most one `primary`.
+The runner copies them next to its checkpoint, publishes them through the artifact reservation,
+upload and verified completion APIs with stable per-execution keys, and completes the execution with
+`artifactIds` and `primaryArtifactId`, so the subject's frozen manifest holds inputs and outputs
+together. Generated files are always uploaded regardless of `persistResultContent`: they are the
+execution's evidence. A declared file that cannot be read, exceeds 25 MiB, repeats a filename or has
+an unsupported content type is saved as the target's error (`TargetError`), not as an uncertain
+execution. A crash after the target finished resumes from the staged files without invoking the
+target again; if result content is not persisted, the JSON output cannot be reconstructed and the
+case is reported as uncertain.
+
+`rescore` downloads a subject's frozen `files` — the pinned inputs and the generated outputs, with
+`role: "output"` for the documents a run produced — so a code evaluator can grade saved documents
+without invoking an agent. Local scorers receive them as `context.files` exactly as they do during
+an experiment.
+
+`runExperiment` and `rescore` accept `environmentEvidence: "required" | "when_pinned"`. A connected
+worker that supplies `directTarget` uses `when_pinned`: direct cases never contact the environment
+evidence endpoint, while cases pinned to a world still require sealed evidence. Use the same policy
+for file-only regrading, and keep `required` for a generic target that attaches a world
+independently of the case pin.
+
+### Grading on Hue's side
+
+By default a pinned `local_code` version without a matching local scorer refuses the run: nobody
+would produce its result. `deferUnboundLocalScorers: true` changes that for both `runExperiment`
+and `rescore`: unbound code-evaluator pins are reported in `deferredScorerVersionIds` and left to
+the executor that owns their source, typically a grading worker Hue operates with its own provider
+credentials. The customer's process then runs only the agent and uploads its documents; nothing
+grader-related is installed there and evaluator-only files never reach it. The grading worker
+calls `rescore` on the same run with the evaluator bound and the same option, so pins belonging to
+other evaluators are left alone rather than refused. `EvaluationClient.listEvaluationRuns` pages
+the project's runs so such a worker can find the ones that still owe it results. `hue eval` uses
+this mode for eval sets whose cases pin no simulated world.
