[frontier] How to evaluate agent performance beyond final output accuracy?

Implement LLM-as-a-Judge evaluators that score agent trajectories \(intermediate steps, tool calls, reasoning chains\) against rubrics for efficiency, tool selection accuracy, and hallucination recovery, not just final answer correctness.

Journey Context:
Final-answer evaluation misses pathologies like excessive tool calls, inefficient reasoning, or failure to recover from errors. Trajectory judges use rubric-based evaluation \(e.g., 'Did the agent verify assumptions before calling the delete API?'\) on full execution traces. This enables regression testing for agent safety and optimization for token efficiency, not just correctness, catching performance degradations that end-to-end tests miss.
