What this changes

Ordinary LLM judges previously saved only their final text, parsed answer, and usage in trace.info["judge"]. That was enough to see a successful verdict, but not enough to understand how the judge was called or why scoring failed. If the provider failed before returning a response, no judge record was written at all.

This PR gives ordinary judges a small, typed call record in Trace.judge_calls. Each record identifies the judge and reuses the existing ModelCall shape to capture:

  • the model, effective sampling settings, endpoint, and structured-output schema
  • start/end timing, token usage, and finish reason
  • the returned text or refusal
  • whether the provider call failed or the returned verdict could not be parsed or validated

The record is added before the provider request starts, so a failed judge call remains visible even when scoring aborts.

Why

A broken judge is a scoring failure, not evidence that the evaluated model gave a bad answer. These changes preserve the distinction between:

  • a valid negative verdict, which may correctly produce a zero score
  • a provider failure
  • a refusal
  • an invalid or truncated structured response
  • a parser or rubric-validation failure

The latter failures continue to abort scoring instead of silently becoming a zero reward.

Scope

The implementation continues to use the existing OpenAI client and its normal timeout/retry behavior. It does not add a custom client, retry loop, sampling type, or error hierarchy.

Judge usage is now read from the typed records in the dashboard. Replay clears judge records before rescoring and skips traces that already failed, since replay cannot safely reconstruct every scoring component. Upload conversion includes the judge records under sample info.

Judge prompts are intentionally not copied into traces because they can contain reference answers or other sensitive task data. The structured-output schema is retained because it defines the expected verdict, while the prompt content remains outside the trace.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs human review

This PR introduces a schema-breaking change (TRACE_VERSION 4→5), removes the extra_usage field and record_judge method, and replaces them with a new JudgeCall structure. These structural changes to trace recording and serialization warrant human review for compatibility implications.
