Adds host CPU model to eval harness provenance and records VERA_RANKING_* override state.

  • Reads /proc/cpuinfo model name via std::fs (no new dependency) with graceful fallback to unknown on non-Linux/missing file
  • Records host.cpu_model in version_info.environment (and VersionInfo.host_cpu_model top-level) so hardware changes (2026-08-28 7600X3D->9800X3D) are detectable from artifacts
  • Extends PROVENANCE_ENV_KEYS with VERA_RANKING_FILENAME_STEM_BOOST, VERA_RANKING_DEFINITION_BOOST, VERA_RANKING_RECALL_POOL_EXPANSION following existing env-key-value pattern (0 when set, <unset> otherwise)
  • Additive: old JSON still parses (serde default), no existing provenance key changes

TDD: 6 new tests in eval/src/lanes.rs (fixture parsing, fallback placeholder, env block effective values, pattern conformance, additive parsing, host field presence)
Fulfills: VAL-PROV-001..004
Gates: cargo test -p vera-eval 79 passed, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings clean, cargo fmt --check clean


Summary by cubic

Adds host CPU model and VERA_RANKING_* override state to eval provenance so hardware and ranking changes are detectable from artifacts.

  • Records the CPU model from /proc/cpuinfo with an unknown fallback on non-Linux or missing file.
  • Records the three VERA_RANKING_* env vars (0 when set, <unset> otherwise).
  • Additive: old JSON still parses with serde defaults; no existing provenance keys change.

Written for commit 824f2d7. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Environment reports now include the host CPU model for improved benchmark context.
    • Reports capture additional ranking-related environment settings.
    • CPU information is collected from available system data, with an “unknown” fallback when unavailable.
  • Compatibility

    • Existing reports remain readable, including reports created before host CPU information was recorded.
    • Host CPU metadata is optional and omitted when not available.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The evaluation code now records ranking environment keys and host CPU model data. Public helpers parse CPU information with "unknown" fallbacks. VersionInfo stores optional CPU provenance, and report creation and deserialization paths remain compatible with legacy data.

Changes

Benchmark provenance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Environment provenance collection
eval/src/lanes.rs
Ranking environment keys and host CPU model helpers now collect provenance values. CPU parsing supports file content, arbitrary paths, and /proc/cpuinfo, with "unknown" fallbacks.
VersionInfo provenance contract
eval/src/types.rs, eval/src/lanes.rs
VersionInfo now has an optional host_cpu_model field. Serde defaults and omission rules preserve compatibility with legacy JSON.
Report provenance integration
eval/src/runner.rs, eval/src/output.rs, eval/src/lanes.rs
Attached provenance records the host CPU model. New report constructors and fixtures initialize the optional field. Tests cover provenance collection, compatibility, and fallback behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 824f2

The change is mergeable with owner follow-up: one test is overly restrictive and may fail on valid Linux hosts whose CPU model is neither AMD, Intel, nor Ryzen, even though the recorded provenance value is valid.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the x86-specific CPU-model assertion.

Line 1338 fails on a Linux host whose valid model name does not contain "AMD", "Intel", or "Ryzen". The documented contract accepts any nonempty model string or "unknown". The nonempty and consistency checks already verify that contract.

Proposed fix
-        if cpu != "unknown" {
-            assert!(
-                cpu.contains("AMD") || cpu.contains("Intel") || cpu.contains("Ryzen"),
-                "host CPU model should look like a real CPU string, got: {cpu}"
-            );
-        }
