"""ExploitBench V8 benchmark provider for Decepticon. Drives the bug environments published at https://exploitbench.ai (paper and leaderboard) and built from https://github.com/exploitbench/exploitbench. Each env is a single V8 bug shipped as an OCI image at ``ghcr.io/exploitbench/v8-r1:`` (typical pulled size ~65 GB on first use); the image's entry point is a stdio MCP server exposing ``setup``, ``exec``, ``read_file``, ``write_file``, ``list_directory``, and ``grade`` tools — see ``benchmarks/bench-v8/mcp-server`` upstream. Architectural mapping ===================== Decepticon's main agent (LangGraph + sub-agent middleware) replaces the ExploitBench ``runner/loop.py`` driver. The provider's job is therefore narrower than upstream's: 1. **lifecycle** — pull, run, and stop the bug container; clean up. 2. **MCP bridge** — expose the container's stdio MCP server to Decepticon's MCP client over TCP via ``mcp-proxy``. Decepticon's ``.mcp.json`` is hot-patched per-challenge with the bridge URL so the agent receives tools like ``mcp__exploitbench__setup`` / ``mcp__exploitbench__grade`` for the duration of the run. 3. **grade extraction** — at episode end, replay any ``grade()`` response payloads the agent already cached on disk (the V8 grader appends ``grade_calls.jsonl`` to ``/rlenv/workspace/``) and merge them into the tier-aware capability bitmap that ``ChallengeResult`` carries back to the reporter. The provider is intentionally MCP-agnostic on the agent side: it never issues ``setup()`` / ``grade()`` itself. That work belongs to the model under test — anything else would let the harness skip the actual exploitation work the benchmark is trying to measure. What this provider does NOT do ============================== * No model dispatch / LLM selection. Decepticon's standard model routing (``EngagementContextMiddleware`` + ``litellm``) keeps its current behavior. The upstream YAML's ``models:`` list is ignored on load. * No nudge / budget injection. Turn budgets are enforced by ``BenchmarkConfig.timeout``; ExploitBench's ``budgets.turn_budget`` is recorded in evidence but not enforced here. * No GHCR auth handling. The runner expects ``docker login ghcr.io`` to have been completed out-of-band when private tags are pulled. These are deliberate so the provider stays a thin adapter; promoting nudges or budgets into Decepticon proper is a follow-up that lives behind its own flag.
