Report #2355

[research] Agent reaches the correct final state but uses insecure or forbidden intermediate steps

Implement step-by-step trajectory evals alongside outcome evals. Use LLM-as-a-judge to score the trajectory against a rubric of allowed/forbidden actions \(e.g., 'did not use rm -rf', 'did not expose PII in logs'\).

Journey Context:
Outcome-only evals are dangerous. An agent might delete a database and restore it, or hardcode credentials temporarily, passing the final state check. Trajectory evals ensure the process adheres to safety and compliance constraints, not just the outcome.
