chore: release @united-workforce/eval@0.1.1

The extract pipeline stores step output as a JSON object in CAS,
but the frontmatter judge only checked for raw markdown strings.
Now accepts both formats: parsed objects check $status directly,
raw strings go through YAML frontmatter extraction.

Fixes eval frontmatter-compliance scoring 0 on valid outputs.

+# Eval Framework Implementation Plan
+
+## Goal
+
+Build `uwf-eval` CLI + eval task infrastructure for evaluating uwf workflow quality with real agents.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+uwf-eval (runner)          task package (npm)          OCAS (storage)
+  │                          │                           │
+  ├─ unpack tarball ───────► fixture/ → tmp cwd          │
+  ├─ read task.yaml          │                           │
+  ├─ uwf thread start/exec  │                           │
+  ├─ run judges ───────────► dist/judges/*.js            │
+  ├─ collect scores          │                           │
+  └─ store results ─────────────────────────────────────► CAS nodes + variables
+```
+
+### Key Design Decisions
+
+- **uwf-eval is NOT part of uwf** — separate package, shells out to uwf CLI
+- **Task = npm package** — fixture + task.yaml + judge scripts, distributable as tarball
+- **Judge = Node script** — `node <entry> <cwd> <thread-id>`, outputs `{score, data}` JSON
+- **Every output is OCAS typed** — eval-run, judge results all have registered schemas
+- **Builtin judges** — frontmatter compliance, upstream consumption, hallucination, token stats
+- **Task-specific judges** — bundled in the task package, custom schema per judge
+
+## Deliverables
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation (`@united-workforce/eval`)
+
+New package in the uwf monorepo.
+
+```
+packages/eval/
+  src/
+    cli.ts                    # uwf-eval entry point
+    commands/
+      run.ts                  # uwf-eval run
+      report.ts               # uwf-eval report <hash>
+      diff.ts                 # uwf-eval diff <hash> <hash>
+      list.ts                 # uwf-eval list
+    runner/
+      prepare.ts              # unpack tarball/dir → tmp cwd
+      execute.ts              # shell out to uwf thread start/exec
+      collect.ts              # run judges, collect scores
+    judge/
+      types.ts                # JudgeInput, JudgeOutput types
+      builtin/
+        frontmatter.ts        # frontmatter compliance check
+        upstream.ts           # upstream info consumption (LLM-as-judge)
+        hallucination.ts      # hallucination detection (LLM-as-judge)
+        token-stats.ts        # token usage from $usage field (#68)
+    storage/
+      schemas.ts              # OCAS schema definitions
+      store.ts                # CAS read/write helpers
+      index.ts                # variable indexing (@uwf/eval/*)
+    task/
+      types.ts                # TaskManifest type (task.yaml)
+      loader.ts               # parse task.yaml, validate
+  package.json
+  tsconfig.json
+```
+
+#### OCAS Schemas to Register
+
+1. `@uwf/eval-run` — full eval execution record
+   ```
+   { task, config: {agent, model, engineVersion}, threadId,
+     judges: [{name, score, weight, dataHash}], overall, timestamp }
+   ```
+
+2. `@uwf/eval-judge-frontmatter` — frontmatter judge data
+   ```
+   { stepsTotal, stepsValid, invalidSteps: [{stepIndex, role, errors: string[]}] }
+   ```
+
+3. `@uwf/eval-judge-upstream` — upstream consumption judge data
+   ```
+   { perStep: [{role, consumed: string[], missed: string[], score}] }
+   ```
+
+4. `@uwf/eval-judge-hallucination` — hallucination judge data
+   ```
+   { perStep: [{role, hallucinations: string[], score}] }
+   ```
+
+5. `@uwf/eval-judge-token-stats` — token stats (not scored, informational)
+   ```
+   { totalInput, totalOutput, totalTurns, perStep: [{role, input, output, turns, duration}] }
+   ```
+
+#### CLI Design
+
+```bash
+# Run eval
+uwf-eval run <task-dir-or-tarball> [--agent hermes] [--model claude-sonnet-4] [--count 20]
+
+# View results
+uwf-eval report <run-hash>        # render via ocas render
+uwf-eval diff <hash1> <hash2>     # side-by-side comparison
+uwf-eval list                     # list past runs
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Task Package Scaffold
+
+Template for creating eval tasks. Also serves as the first real task.
+
+```
+eval-tasks/                        # shazhou/uwf-eval-tasks monorepo
+  packages/
+    _template/                     # copypaste template
+      package.json
+      task.yaml
+      fixture/
+      src/judges/
+      tsconfig.json
+    fix-off-by-one/                # first real task
+      package.json                 # @uwf-eval/fix-off-by-one
+      task.yaml
+      fixture/
+        src/calc.ts                # buggy calculator
+        src/calc.test.ts           # test that exposes the bug
+        package.json
+      src/judges/
+        test-pass.ts               # runs pnpm test, checks exit code
+        code-quality.ts            # LLM judge: minimal change, correct fix
+      schemas/
+        test-pass.json             # OCAS schema for test-pass data
+        code-quality.json          # OCAS schema for code-quality data
+      tsconfig.json
+  pnpm-workspace.yaml
+  tsconfig.json
+  biome.json
+```
+
+#### task.yaml Format
+
+```yaml
+name: fix-off-by-one
+description: Fix an off-by-one error in a calculator's add function
+workflow: solve-issue              # registered workflow name, or relative path to .yaml
+prompt: "Fix the bug: add(1,2) returns 4 instead of 3"
+limits:
+  maxSteps: 15
+  timeoutMinutes: 30
+judges:
+  - name: frontmatter-compliance
+    weight: 0.15
+    builtin: true
+  - name: upstream-consumption
+    weight: 0.15
+    builtin: true
+  - name: hallucination
+    weight: 0.1
+    builtin: true
+  - name: token-stats
+    weight: 0                      # informational, not scored
+    builtin: true
+  - name: test-pass
+    weight: 0.3
+    entry: dist/judges/test-pass.js
+    schema: schemas/test-pass.json
+  - name: code-quality
+    weight: 0.3
+    entry: dist/judges/code-quality.js
+    schema: schemas/code-quality.json
+```
+
+#### Judge Script Contract
+
+```typescript
+// Input: process.argv = [node, script, cwd, threadId]
+// Output: stdout JSON
+// Exit 0 = success, non-zero = judge error (not low score)
+
+import type { JudgeOutput } from "@united-workforce/eval";
+
+const result: JudgeOutput<TestPassData> = {
+  score: 1.0,      // 0.0 - 1.0
+  data: {           // typed per judge schema
+    command: "pnpm test",
+    exitCode: 0,
+    output: "3 tests passed"
+  }
+};
+
+console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Prerequisite — $usage in Adapter Protocol (#68)
+
+Blocked by #68. Token stats judge needs `$usage` in step nodes.
+
+Can proceed with Phase 1+2 without it — token-stats judge just returns zeros until adapters report usage.
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+1. **Phase 1a**: `@united-workforce/eval` package scaffold + CLI skeleton + OCAS schemas
+2. **Phase 1b**: `run` command — prepare, execute, collect flow
+3. **Phase 1c**: Builtin judges — frontmatter (deterministic), upstream + hallucination (LLM-as-judge)
+4. **Phase 2a**: Create `shazhou/uwf-eval-tasks` monorepo with proman
+5. **Phase 2b**: First task `fix-off-by-one` with fixture repo + 2 custom judges
+6. **Phase 2c**: End-to-end test: `uwf-eval run packages/fix-off-by-one --agent hermes`
+7. **Phase 1d**: `report`, `diff`, `list` commands (read from CAS, render via ocas render)
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `@ocas/core` + `@ocas/fs` — CAS storage
+- `@united-workforce/protocol` — step node types
+- `commander` — CLI framework (consistent with uwf)
+- LLM API access — for LLM-as-judge (upstream, hallucination, task-specific quality judges)
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **LLM-as-judge provider config** — reuse uwf's `~/.uwf/config.yaml` provider settings? Or separate config?
+2. **Workflow file location** — task.yaml references a workflow. Should the workflow YAML be inside the tarball, or reference a registered workflow by name?
+3. **Non-coding tasks** — debate workflow has no fixture repo. task.yaml needs `fixture: null` or simply omit the `fixture/` dir. Runner creates empty cwd.
+4. **Parallel judge execution** — judges are independent, can run in parallel. Worth the complexity?
+
+## Risks
+
+- LLM-as-judge consistency — same input may get different scores. Mitigation: run judge multiple times, take average? Or accept variance.
+- Token cost of judges — each LLM judge call costs tokens. For a 10-step workflow with 2 LLM judges = 20 LLM calls just for judging. Acceptable?
+- Fixture repo drift — if the fixture evolves, old eval runs become non-comparable. Pin fixture version in task.yaml.
