Feat: Add end-to-end correctness suite for AIAC eval framework

[Amitfre15]

Summary

Extends the Correctness check to the end-to-end level (aiac/eval/): the same
correctness_scorer.py + primary 8-scenario corpus built for the PRB-level suite (#2089), now
scored one layer further downstream — real Keycloak provisioning → real Policy Rules Builder →
real Policy Computation Engine → real opa eval against the rendered Rego — instead of the PRB's
raw output. This is the only correctness check that can catch an integration bug between those
layers (PCE merge logic, Rego rendering, OPA semantics) that a PRB-only check structurally cannot
see.

• New eval_correctness_e2e-marked suite (test_policy_pipeline_correctness_e2e.py), scoring
  opa eval's rendered data maps (subject_role_allow/deny_scopes, agent_role_scopes) against
  the same truth tables, with the same zero-tolerance over-grant gate and tracked-only under-grants
  as the PRB-level suite.
• Own pure-logic helper module (correctness_e2e_helpers.py + unmarked
  test_correctness_e2e_helpers.py), mirroring correctness_scorer.py's logic/test-module split so
  these run in the default fast pass instead of being swept into the live-infra marker.
• Best-effort PRB fallback (best_effort_rules.py) — when the PRB's audit/retry loop rejects a
  scope/role decision outright, the shared pipeline fixture now falls back to the last-proposed
  decision (built the same way the PRB's own build node would) instead of aborting the whole
  scenario. Explicit, user-requested tradeoff: a best-effort pair is reported with a caveat
  (best_effort_notes) rather than silently passed off as production-equivalent. Both correctness
  suites opt in.
• Parallelized scenario provisioning — the shared pipeline fixture (used by this suite and
  eval_extended) now provisions all 8 scenarios concurrently via ProcessPoolExecutor (processes,
  not threads, since setup mutates process-global os.environ/KeycloakAdmin state), with a
  multiprocessing.Lock serializing only Keycloak's create_realm step (which 409s under
  concurrency even across distinct realm names).
• Report wiring — eval_correctness_e2e registered in conftest.py's MARKERS, reusing the
  existing generic precision/recall render branch; setup-failed scenarios now get the same six-field
  shape as scored ones instead of falling back to a bare crash message.
• New spec: docs/specs/eval/policy-eval-correctness-e2e.md.

Runs opt-in, needs live Keycloak + LLM + opa on PATH:

.venv/bin/pytest eval/ -m eval_correctness_e2e

Acceptance criteria (from #2090)

• The existing end-to-end pipeline run reports precision and recall per scenario, using the
  same scorer as the PRB-level check (no duplicated scoring logic)
• The same zero-tolerance over-grant gate applies at this level
• Under-grants are reported the same way as at the PRB-level (tracked, not hard-failed)
• The end-to-end run is demoable independently of the PRB-level run (real Keycloak + real OPA)

Test plan

• .venv/bin/pytest eval/test_correctness_e2e_helpers.py eval/test_best_effort_rules.py eval/test_correctness_scorer.py -q passes (19 passed)
• Default pytest test/ collection is unaffected — eval_correctness_e2e is excluded by
  pyproject.toml's default -m (771 passed, 164 deselected)
• Suite skips cleanly without live Keycloak/LLM/opa
• Verified live against the rossoctl kind cluster's Keycloak + LLM endpoint, including a
  parallelism=1 isolation run confirming the concurrency change introduces no regressions of its own

Out of scope (tracked separately, per the spec)

• The pre-existing PRB audit/retry-convergence bug (policy_rules_builder/graph.py's _audit) —
  confirmed to reproduce identically in the PRB-direct suite, unrelated to this change; deferred as
  a separate follow-up.
• The outbound_target denial-rendering gap in generate_outbound_rego (ALLOW-only, pre-existing
  production code) — documented, not fixed here.
• A committed trend log across runs — deferred to
  rossoctl/rossoctl#2091.

Closes rossoctl/rossoctl#2090

@omerboehm should we hold off on this PR due to AIAC migration to its own repo?

[abigailgold]

Must fix:

1. Commit 1 (a6ea2be) is authored and signed as Amit Frechter 62295935+Amitfre15@users.noreply.github.com. Please fix to correct email.
2. aiac/eval/conftest.py, _render_entry (~line 546-553): the new correctness-suite render branch always reports "unavailable — scenario setup failed," even for normally scored (passing or failing) scenarios, defeating the report feature for both correctness suites.
   _render_metrics_block(lines, props, unavailable_reason="scenario setup failed before scoring could run")
   This dispatches purely on nodeid substring (::test_prb_correctness[ / ::test_e2e_correctness[), not on whether precision/recall are actually present in report.user_properties. Since test_prb_correctness/test_e2e_correctness never record "expected"/"output" (the first if branch's keys — that's only for per-cell tests), every entry from both correctness suites falls into this elif, and unavailable_reason is passed unconditionally. The result: every scenario — whether it passed with real precision/recall numbers, failed the over-grant gate, or genuinely failed setup — renders identically as "unavailable — scenario setup failed before scoring could run." The real precision/recall/over-grant/under-grant/best-effort-notes data that this PR is explicitly built to surface is silently hidden in every report run.
3. _detail(report, category) is labeled "Failure" even for skipped/xfailed entries.

Suggestions:

1. aiac/eval/test_policy_pipeline_eval.py: BrokenProcessPool can cascade beyond a single scenario. The per-future except Exception around future.result() correctly isolates a scenario whose worker raises an ordinary Python exception, but an abnormal worker death (OOM-kill, segfault) raises concurrent.futures.process.BrokenProcessPool for every pending/in-flight future in the same pool — not just the one that crashed — which is a wider blast radius than the accompanying comment implies ("isolate one scenario's worker crash from the rest"). Low real-world likelihood for this workload; worth a caveat comment rather than a functional fix.
2. Same file: no top-level cleanup for orphaned idp/store/opa subprocesses if a worker process is killed externally. Each worker's own running_services(...) context manager tears down its subprocess trio correctly on a normal Python-level exception, but there's no safety net if the worker process itself is killed. Likely acceptable for an eval-only tool; worth a one-line note in the docstring.
3. aiac/eval/best_effort_rules.py / test_best_effort_rules.py: untested combination of exclusive=True with a non-empty explicit denied_names. Existing tests cover role-focal explicit-deny, role-focal exclusive-complement, scope-focal explicit-deny, and the empty-proposal case, but not exclusive=True on the scope-focal path, nor the interaction of exclusive=True with a non-empty denied_names together. Risk is mitigated by reusing production graph.py's _denied_names unmodified, but this combination is exactly the shape a partially-approved multi-scope proposal could hit in practice.
4. aiac/eval/correctness_e2e_helpers.py: _user_role_rows filter's necessity for inbound maps is undocumented. The double-counting bug this filter fixes is described (in the module's own docstring) as specific to the outbound Rego's subject_role_allow_scopes document mixing agent-calling-agent rows with user-role rows. The same filter is also applied to the inbound maps, where it's presumably a no-op (inbound may never carry agent-role rows) but this isn't stated either way — a short note would let a future reader trust the inbound gate's correctness without re-deriving it.
5. aiac/eval/test_policy_pipeline_eval.py: EVAL_PIPELINE_PARALLELISM=0 (or negative) surfaces an unhelpful ValueError from deep inside ProcessPoolExecutor. No validation is done on the env var before passing it to max_workers; a max(1, ...) guard or a clearer assertion would give a friendlier error for what's documented as a maintainer escape hatch.

[Amitfre15]

Addressed all findings from CodeRabbit and @abigailgold's review:

Must-fix

1. a6ea2be3's author/committer email and DCO trailer didn't match the rest of the branch (62295935+Amitfre15@users.noreply.github.com vs. amitfrework@gmail.com) — rebased to fix both. This rewrote history on the branch (force-pushed); the diff itself is unchanged.
2. & 3. The correctness-suite render branch in conftest.py — I reproduced the described behavior in an isolated harness before fixing it: normally-scored pass/fail entries already dispatched correctly on the presence of precision/recall properties (that part didn't reproduce), but a skipped/xfailed entry (e.g. opa missing from PATH) did land in the "setup failed" branch purely on nodeid substring, mislabeled "Failure" with a misleading "unavailable — scenario setup failed" — exactly CodeRabbit's finding. Fixed by gating that branch on category in ("failed", "error"), matching CodeRabbit's suggested diff; skip/xfail now falls through to the generic branch and renders its real reason.

Suggestions — all applied:

• test_policy_pipeline_eval.py: documented the BrokenProcessPool blast-radius caveat and the orphaned-subprocess-on-external-kill gap in the module docstring (left as caveats, not engineered around, per your own risk assessment).
• best_effort_rules.py: added scope-focal exclusive=True coverage (previously only tested role-focal) plus a test for exclusive=True combined with a non-empty explicit denied_names.
• correctness_e2e_helpers.py: documented _user_role_rows' inbound behavior — verified against the PCE's _derive in engine.py that it's a true no-op there (an AGENT-kind inbound edge is routed to the source bucket, never the subject bucket, so there's no path for an agent role to reach inbound_subject_allow/deny_rules), unlike outbound where it fixes a real double-count.
• test_policy_pipeline_eval.py: floored EVAL_PIPELINE_PARALLELISM at 1 so a 0/negative value gives a clear guard instead of an opaque ProcessPoolExecutor ValueError.

Full default pytest test/ suite (771 passed) and the new/touched unit tests (21 passed) are green after the rebase.

@huang195 thanks for raising this. We want to see this as the last PR and later today we will complete the aiac folder cloning into the new repo . Once everything is successfully moved, we will also remove aiac from this repo
