Summary

Closes #1142

ruler_score_group copies the group before scoring it, but the copy kept only the trajectories' messages, tools, reward, metrics, metadata and logs. Every RULER-scored group therefore lost its exceptions, metadata, metrics and logs. Each trajectory lost initial_policy_version, final_policy_version and _policy_token_counts, and had its start_time reset. Downstream, model.log derives exception_rate from group.exceptions and the metrics taxonomy reads scenario_id from group metadata, so both went silent for RULER users. PipelineTrainer's policy-age accounting lost the trajectory versions.

Changes

  • src/art/rewards/ruler.py: the copied trajectories also carry the policy versions, start time and a copy of _policy_token_counts. The returned group is built with the original exceptions and copies of metadata, metrics and logs.
  • The input group is still not mutated. Scores, independent_reward, ruler_score and the explanation log line are unchanged.
  • tests/unit/test_ruler_score_group_preserves_group.py: stubs the judge and checks the group fields, the per-trajectory provenance, the new rewards, and that the input group is untouched.

Test plan

  • The new test fails on main (assert [] == ['third rollout failed']) and passes here.
  • The repro in ruler_score_group drops group exceptions, metadata and metrics, and trajectory policy versions #1142 prints [] {} {} / None None on main, and the exception, metadata, metrics and 3 5 with this change.
  • test_ruler_metrics, test_auto_trajectory, test_metrics_builder, test_trajectory_copy, test_metrics_taxonomy + the new test: 72 passed.
  • ruff format / ruff check (0.15.11) clean.
  • Full prek run --all-files / ty not run (no CUDA backend deps on macOS).

ruler_score_group rebuilt the group from its trajectories alone. It
dropped the group's exceptions, metadata, metrics and logs, and each
trajectory's policy versions, policy token counts and start time. So
exception_rate, scenario_id and group metrics were lost after RULER
scoring, and trajectory policy age was reset.

Copy those fields onto the scored group, which stays a new object.
