feat(medical): host souvikmajumder26/Multi-Agent-Medical-Assistant on BenchFlow — native vs hosted + per-node trajectories#846
Conversation
Adds src/benchflow/arena/ — a self-contained, OPT-IN scaffold for the missing
"inter-agent" axis of multi-agent: N agents acting concurrently on ONE shared
environment (the deferred arena-concurrent mode). Touches no existing scored
path — the sequential scene path and the scalar reward path are untouched.
- protocol.py — turn-poll contract (Seam 3): observe/act, status in
{waiting, not_your_turn, your_turn(request_id), done}, stale-request rejection.
- runtime.py — run_arena (Seam 1 + eval glue): N seats concurrently via
asyncio.gather; a worker cap bounds concurrent DECISIONS (not waiting, so
interdependent seats never deadlock); a wall-clock deadline reaps stragglers.
- reward.py — SharedEnvReward (Seam 4): one shared standings map -> a per-seat
reward vector (pvp net / coop joint). Each seat is one RolloutNode, so this
rides the existing per-node Reward contract — no change to the scalar path.
tests/test_arena.py: an in-memory turn-gated fake env + scripted policies prove
concurrency, turn-gating, stale-request rejection, straggler reaping, and zero-
sum scoring — no ACP/sandbox/LLM (asyncio.run, no plugin dep).
examples/arena/duel_deepseek.py: a REAL run — two deepseek-v4-pro seats play one
shared rock-paper-scissors round concurrently through run_arena. Verified live:
seat-0 paper vs seat-1 scissors -> reward -100 / +100, chips conserved.
Seam 2 (a co-tenant SharedManifestEnvironment provisioning one service per scene)
is deferred to the caller; this scaffold drives any SeatClient. Build the rest at
the trigger — when an in-tree benchmark needs BenchFlow to host concurrent seats.
… trajectories
Each arena seat's raw LLM now goes through BenchFlow's provider proxy (so usage/
cost is tracked per agent), and every turn is captured as a per-seat trajectory.
- policy.py: ProxyChatPolicy + provider_config — reads BENCHFLOW_PROVIDER_BASE_URL
/_API_KEY/_MODEL (the proxy the SDK injects; falls back to provider-native env),
calls the OpenAI-compatible /chat/completions, tags each request with x-bf-seat,
and records the call.
- trajectory.py: SeatTrajectory — per-seat <seat>.trajectory.jsonl (status,
observation, legal_actions, action, llm {model, messages, response, usage}).
- runtime.py: run_arena gains an on_turn hook for per-seat decision capture.
tests: ProxyChatPolicy routes through BENCHFLOW_PROVIDER_* (httpx MockTransport,
no real LLM); SeatTrajectory writes per-seat jsonl; on_turn emits one record per
move; a 3-seat concurrent run.
examples: floor_deepseek.py (N-seat high-card via the proxy env) and
run_through_proxy.py — a REAL run: 3 deepseek-v4 seats through a loopback proxy
started by ensure_litellm_runtime. Verified live: the raw key is hidden from the
seats (proxy isolation invariant), proxy usage is aggregated (3298 tokens,
$0.0014, usage_source=provider_response), and each seat's decision trajectory is
captured with real model content.
…format After the run, write the proxy's captured exchanges to <run>/trajectory/llm_trajectory.jsonl via trajectory.to_jsonl(redact_keys=True) — mirroring rollout._write_llm_trajectory — so the per-seat raw-LLM calls land in the same on-disk trajectory format the viewer/verifier already read. Verified live: 3 deepseek-v4 seats through the proxy -> 3 raw exchanges captured + per-seat usage/cost, alongside the per-seat decision trajectories.
…roxy Demonstrates the intra-agent axis alongside the inter-agent arena: a real langgraph.StateGraph in the Multi-Agent-Medical-Assistant pattern (supervisor/ router -> KB / web-search specialists -> confidence-gated handoff -> output guardrail), run HOSTED BY BenchFlow — every node's LLM goes through a loopback LiteLLM proxy (ensure_litellm_runtime), so per-node usage/cost is tracked and the raw-LLM exchanges persist to <run>/trajectory/llm_trajectory.jsonl. The agent never sees the raw provider key. Verified live (deepseek-v4-pro): path supervisor -> retrieve_kb -> answer -> web_search -> answer -> guardrail (confidence gate fired), 4 node LLM calls captured, usage/cost aggregated through the proxy. langgraph/langchain-openai are example-only deps (not added to the core).
examples/sample_runs/ packs two real proxy-hosted runs (3-seat arena + LangGraph medical assistant) with their trajectories + a README of the commands/config. Adds a short pre-stop flush delay in the runners so the proxy's canonical llm_trajectory.jsonl captures as many calls as possible (final-callback flush is a LiteLLM timing artifact; per-seat decision trajectories are complete).

Summary
Hosts souvikmajumder26/Multi-Agent-Medical-Assistant — a LangGraph supervisor → specialists agent (router → KB/web specialists → confidence-gated handoff → output guardrail) — on BenchFlow, two ways:
benchmarks/medical-assistant/, run in a Docker sandbox with the LLM routed through the LiteLLM proxy (the proper, isolated path).examples/medical/) showing native (direct LLM) vs BenchFlow-hosted (LLM via proxy), and how to separate a multi-agent run's per-node trajectories.1. Hosted as a BenchFlow benchmark (Docker)
Following the
benchmarks/convention: a registeredmedical-assistantACP agent (the LangGraph graph) + 3 Harbor drug-safety tasks with deterministic verifiers. Each rollout runs in its own Docker sandbox, agent sandboxed as non-rootagent,deepseek-v4-prothrough the proxy.Result:
3/3 (100%), errors=0, 3.2 min (full per-rollout table + trajectories in the PR comment).src/benchflow/agents/medical_acp_shim.pymedical-assistantACP-shim agent — embeds the supervisor→specialists graph; each node streamed as its own ACPtool_callstep. Registered inagents/registry.py(185 registry-invariant tests pass).benchmarks/medical-assistant/benchmark.yaml, 3 Harbor tasks (metformin/aspirin/ibuprofen) with keyword verifiers, job config, run script, README.Per rollout, BenchFlow captures both
<rollout>/trajectory/llm_trajectory.jsonl(proxy raw-LLM) andacp_trajectory.jsonl(per-node steps), so the multi-agent structure is visible.Scope vs. the full upstream app
The upstream's heavy stack — Azure embeddings, Qdrant RAG, torch CV weights, Tavily — is out of scope on the deepseek-only proxy path. The router → specialists → confidence handoff → guardrail control flow is hosted faithfully, with a small in-process knowledge base standing in for RAG. CV/imaging specialists and live web search are not included. (
benchmark.yaml→hosting.not_included.)2. Native vs BenchFlow-hosted (examples/medical/)
Same graph, same query (
metformin side effects). Behaviour identical; observability is the whole difference: native gives only the answer; routing each specialist's LLM through BenchFlow yields usage/cost + the raw-LLM trajectory, and the agent never sees the raw provider key.Separating the agents — one proxy per specialist
A single shared proxy emits one combined
llm_trajectory.jsonl(the callback records onlymodel + messages, no per-agent tag → a shared log can't be split after the fact).examples/medical/run_native_vs_hosted.pygives each specialist its own proxy → a separate trajectory + usage per agent (supervisor / answer / guardrail). In the benchmark path, the same per-node visibility comes from the ACP trajectory (each node is atool_callstep).Also in this branch (supporting runtime, not the focus)
The hosting reuses BenchFlow's loopback LiteLLM-proxy plumbing (
ensure_litellm_runtime/ usage / canonical trajectory). An earlier, orthogonal inter-agent-concurrency scaffold (src/benchflow/arena/,examples/arena/) also rides on this branch; it is independent of the medical scope above and can be split into its own PR if preferred.
