Eval Metrics — Go source

The standard LLM-eval numbers with exact math — unbiased pass@k, precision/recall/F1 from confusion counts, exact-match and label-set micro-F1. 100% client-side.

This is the Go implementation — the same logic the interactive tool runs, in a shareable, citable form.

// Package evalmetrics is the Go twin of CosmoDev's src/lib/evalMetrics.ts
// (dual source: the web lib is TypeScript, the CLI lib is Go — kept in
// lock-step). Pure + deterministic, never panics. The table-driven tests in
// evalmetrics_test.go share vectors with src/lib/evalMetrics.test.ts so the
// two implementations are held to the same contract.
//
// Mirrors the TS lib exactly:
//   - pass@k: the unbiased estimator from the Codex paper (Chen et al. 2021).
//   - precision / recall / F1 over confusion counts, and over label sets.
//   - exact-match rate over paired strings.
//
// Error mapping: every TS function that throws RangeError returns a non-nil
// error here instead (zero-value result alongside it); setMatch never throws
// in TS, so it returns a bare PRF1 here.

type PRF1 struct {
	Precision float64

// ConfusionCounts mirrors the ConfusionCounts interface. The zero value is the
// TS "all counts omitted/zero" object. TN is optional in TS and ignored there
// (only tp/fp/fn are destructured), so it is likewise carried but unused.
