Taac Competition Environment

TAAC Competition Environment

Use this skill to find the live environment contract quickly. Do not copy behavior from this file when the source has changed.

Command Contract

• In the local repository, assume the system python/python3 may be absent. Use uv run python ..., uv run pytest ..., and uv run <console-script> ... on the first attempt.
• Use bare python only for generated online bundle simulation or platform docs where TAAC_RUNNER=python/TAAC_PYTHON is the behavior under test.
• bash run.sh train|val|eval|infer is valid locally because run.sh dispatches through uv outside bundle mode.

Read First

For local vs online runner behavior:

• run.sh
• src/taac2026/application/bootstrap/run_sh.py
• src/taac2026/infrastructure/platform/{deps,env,imports}.py
• docs/guide/competition-online-server.md
• docs/guide/online-training-bundle.md
• docs/getting-started.md

For package layout:

• src/taac2026/application/packaging/{cli,service}.py
• src/taac2026/infrastructure/bundles/
• src/taac2026/application/bootstrap/inference_bundle*.py
• tests/unit/application/packaging/
• tests/unit/application/bootstrap/

For dependencies:

• pyproject.toml
• uv.lock
• docs that mention setup or bundle execution

Non-Obvious Context

• Local repository commands are expected to use uv; generated online bundles must not require uv.
• Bundle validation must inspect what gets zipped, not just whether local imports work from the repository root.
• The online platform may provide its own Python/CUDA stack. Avoid changes that make bundle mode depend on dev extras, repo-local files, or uv.lock.
• docs/archive/files/... are historical competition references, not active runtime code.
• Archived schema fixtures live under docs/archive/files/schema/, including sample_1000_raw.schema.json and online_schema.schema.json. If a local smoke command fails because data/sample_1000_raw/schema.json is absent and the command supports it, pass --schema-path docs/archive/files/schema/sample_1000_raw.schema.json explicitly.

Validation

For environment/bootstrap changes:

uv run pytest tests/unit/application/bootstrap -q
uv run pytest tests/unit/application/packaging -q

For bundle-impacting changes, build and inspect at least one tiny bundle:

uv run taac-package-train --experiment experiments/baseline --output-dir /tmp/taac-training-bundle --json
uv run taac-package-infer --experiment experiments/baseline --output-dir /tmp/taac-inference-bundle --json
uv run python -m zipfile -l /tmp/taac-training-bundle/code_package.zip | sed -n '1,80p'

For docs-only environment edits, validate docs with the docs skill instead of running the full unit suite by default.
