Vendor Update

Update the vendored NeMo-Skills slice

1. Pick the new SHA

If the user supplies a SHA / tag, use it. Otherwise:

gh api repos/NVIDIA/NeMo-Skills/branches/main --jq .commit.sha

2. Diff what changed in the directories we vendor

old=$(python -c "import yaml; print(yaml.safe_load(open('sgl_eval/_vendored/nemo_skills/SOURCES.yaml'))['synced_from_sha'])")
new=<new SHA>
gh api "repos/NVIDIA/NeMo-Skills/compare/${old}...${new}" \
  --jq '.files[] | select(
        .filename | startswith("nemo_skills/evaluation/")
                 or startswith("nemo_skills/dataset/")
                 or startswith("nemo_skills/prompt/config/")
                 or startswith("tests/")
       ) | {filename, status, additions, deletions}'

Surface anything non-trivial to the user before proceeding. Look specifically for changes to: math_grader.py, evaluator/math.py, evaluator/mcq.py, metrics/base.py, metrics/math_metrics.py, prompt/config/generic/math.yaml, and any vendored test file.

3. Update SOURCES.yaml

synced_from_sha: <new SHA>
synced_at: "<YYYY-MM-DD>"

If the upstream requirements/core.txt pins of math_verify / latex2sympy2_extended / numpy changed at the new SHA, update pyproject.toml dependencies to match.

Pinned-deps policy. The pip deps that vendored files import (currently math_verify, latex2sympy2_extended, plus their transitive sympy / numpy) must be installable at versions that reproduce upstream's behavior. Track upstream's requirements/core.txt. If a transitive dep major-bumps and breaks vendored tests, add an upper bound in pyproject.toml instead of patching vendored code.

4. Sync

python scripts/sync_vendored.py

5. Verify

pytest

The vendored NS tests under sgl_eval/_vendored/nemo_skills/tests/ directly exercise the synced code with the current dep versions. Their pass/fail status IS the drift detector.

If any vendored NS test fails, do not push and ignore. Two paths:

a) Behavior change is intentional upstream. Read the relevant upstream commit; understand the rationale. If we want the new behavior, accept it and move on. If we want the old behavior, either pick an earlier commit or pin an older version of the offending dep (math_verify / latex2sympy2_extended / sympy) in pyproject.toml.

b) Spurious failure due to dep version drift. Check pip show math_verify latex2sympy2_extended sympy. If a transitive dep recently major-bumped, restrict it via pyproject.toml upper bound and re-run.

If sgl-eval's own tests break, the upstream API likely changed (renamed function, new required field). Update glue under sgl_eval/evals/_*.py minimally to follow.

6. Commit
