Trace-to-Training: how agent runs become learning data

Every agent run is a data point. Most frameworks throw it away.

WasmAgent keeps it — evaluated by the compliance engine, ranked by outcome, exported as a typed ComplianceEvalRecord ready for SFT or DPO training. No human labeling.

Three repair modes

import { ComplianceRun } from "@wasmagent/compliance";



const run = new ComplianceRun({

  mode: "full_pcl",   // "direct" | "prompt_retry" | "full_pcl"

  taskSpec: {

    instruction: "Write a summary in exactly 3 bullet points.",

    constraints: [{ type: "format", rule: "bullet_count", value: 3 }],

  },

});



const result = await run.execute(agent, input);

// result.complianceEvalRecord → typed, versioned, schema-validated

direct — one shot, record pass/fail.

prompt_retry — retry once with a rephrased prompt.

full_pcl — full repair loop: run → evaluate → patch/regenerate → re-evaluate → record the entire trace.

What the numbers show

IFEval × Qwen2.5-1.5B-Q4 (3 seeds × 50 samples):

+8.7pp. The variance drop (±2.0 → ±1.2) matters for production reliability.

Reproduce: bun packages/compliance/benchmarks/ifeval/run.ts --limit=50 --seed=42

The repair trace is the training data

When full_pcl repairs a failing output, RepairPlanner records every attempt:

// Inside ComplianceEvalRecord

attempts: [

  { strategy: "direct",     output: "...", passed: false },

  { strategy: "patch",      output: "...", passed: false },

  { strategy: "regenerate", output: "...", passed: true  },

]

The full sequence — what failed, what was tried, what worked — is what feeds DPO training. The model learns from failure traces, not just final outputs.

Parallel rollouts for preference pairs

import { RolloutForkRunner, RolloutRanker } from "@wasmagent/core";



const runner = new RolloutForkRunner({ forks: 4 });

const rollouts = await runner.run(agent, input, taskSpec);



const ranked = new RolloutRanker().rank(rollouts);

// ranked[0] → chosen (SFT)

// ranked[1..] → rejected (DPO pairs)

The compliance verifier is the reward signal. No human annotation.
