// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

An eval that only runs on a laptop protects nothing. This quiz covers wiring LangSmith evaluations into CI: secrets, dataset versioning, thresholds, baselines, cost control, and the variance problem that makes naive gates flap.

Scoring: equal weight per question.

// FIRST CONTACT

Battle teaser

The minimum viable LangSmith CI gate is:

  1. AA cron job that emails a PDF nobody opens
  2. BPrinting the score without acting on it
  3. CLANGSMITH_API_KEY provided via CI secrets, evaluate() run against a pinned dataset, aggregate scores read from the results, and a nonzero exit when a threshold is breached
  4. DA README instructing developers to run evals locally
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
