…nstructions Prompt-side half of cuga-project/cuga-agent#730: on the hard suite, otherwise-correct exports lose tasks to convention mismatches while every content assert passes. - tilde paths: the agent addressed file_system with cwd-relative paths ("./downloads/habit_tracker.csv", directory_path="."), which AppWorld stores rooted as "/./..." — failing tilde_path asserts (f323bae_1, 33e202d_1) and looping on the read side (6b6ca61_1). The deterministic backstop lives in cuga-agent (PR #740); this rule targets the cause. - verbatim formats: literally-specified headers/templates were reformatted ("title,artists" written quoted with trailing \r in a1d3dfd_1; promo codes uppercased against a case-sensitive check in d37c235_1). - CSV conventions: quote only if the spec shows quotes (33e202d_1 failed the mirror case — unquoted where quoted was expected), preserve source row/column order (f323bae_1), LF line endings.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe AppWorld SDK evaluator adds three prompt instructions. They require home-anchored or absolute file paths, verbatim task-stated output formats, and preserved CSV quoting, ordering, and LF line endings. ChangesAppWorld SDK evaluator instructions
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new CSV export rule can produce malformed files when values contain commas, quotes, or line breaks because it limits quoting to what is visibly shown in the task or source.

Use standard CSV escaping for data fields.
The current instruction to quote fields only when the task or source shows quotes can produce invalid CSV when a value contains a delimiter, double quote, or line break. Preserve quoting when the source is CSV; otherwise quote and escape fields as required by CSV syntax. Keep the source row and column order unless asked to reorder, and use LF line endings only.

Fixes)Description
On the AppWorld hard suite, CugaLite loses ~10 task-runs (≈5 pp) to file-export conventions while the exported content is correct: cwd-relative paths instead of
~/…, and CSV quoting/header/column-order/case mismatches. This adds three rules to the AppWorldspecial_instructionsblock (section B) so the model follows the conventions the evaluators assert on.Type of Changes
Root Cause
file_systemhas no working directory, and the CugaLite base prompt's sandbox-workspace section actively teaches relative./paths — so generated code sent./downloads/habit_tracker.csv/directory_path=".", which AppWorld stores rooted as/./…(failingtilde_pathasserts inf323bae_1,33e202d_1) and which 404/422-loops on the read side (6b6ca61_1, 175 identical rejections).csvmodule, so CSV content is hand-built, and no rule required literal fidelity to task-specified formats:a1d3dfd_1quoted an unquoted header and added\r,33e202d_1wrote unquoted rows where quoted were expected,f323bae_1reordered columns,d37c235_1uppercased case-sensitive promo codes.Solution
Three rules appended to
self.special_instructionsineval_appworld_sdk.py:~/…-anchored (or absolute/…); never cwd-relative,Source holds
\\n, so the model-visible prompt reads the escape sequences as literal text (verified by rendering the block).Testing
ruff check+ruff format --check: clean; sanity suite: 255 passed (2 pre-existing M3-vendor skips). Prompt-only change — no unit test target.a1d3dfd_1,f323bae_1,33e202d_1,6b6ca61_1,d37c235_1, judged per-assert), ideally with cuga-agent's PR #740 branch in the editable install; prompt compliance is probabilistic, so the agent-side normalizer remains the deterministic backstop for the path half.Checklist
