What

The bundled plugin eval reference previously said a case was valid with either a prompt or a session history file. It now states a prompt is always required, and that with a history file the prompt is the resumed session's next user turn. The rest of the document is unchanged.

Details
  • The same document still notes that plugin eval is in early access.
Evidence

` execution.prompt (or a prompt.md body) is always required `

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
