[research] Evaluating multi-step agents using single-turn prompt-response pairs

Build stateful eval environments \(like ephemeral Docker containers or sandboxed file systems\) that persist across the agent's tool calls, and evaluate the final state of the environment rather than just the agent's text output.

Journey Context:
Agents modify state \(create files, deploy code, send emails\). Evaluating an agent based solely on its final text response is insufficient because the agent might claim success while the environment is broken. Stateful evals reset the environment, let the agent run, and then assert the actual state \(e.g., file exists, HTTP endpoint returns 200\), providing ground-truth verification.
