""" Adversarial Designer — generates novel hard scenarios to break the agent. Architecture (from kube-sre-gym/server/adversarial_designer.py, 1st place SF winner): - Triggered when curriculum reaches intermediate+ tier AND agent is doing well - Identifies weak spots (scenarios agent consistently fails) - Uses an LLM to generate new scenario variants that target those weak spots - Validates generated scenarios pass basic sanity checks - New scenarios are inserted into training rotation with difficulty = 0.85+ Key innovations added on top of kube-sre-gym: 1. Scenario diversity check — new scenarios must be structurally different 2. Adversarial warmup — first shows current weakest variants, then novel attacks 3. Blinding antipattern detection — rejects scenarios with obvious tells 4.
