Adds 3 new data-analysis tasks based on the Idaho weather stations CSV dataset:

  1. task_csv_stations_by_elevation - Rank stations by elevation, compute summary stats, compare NWS vs NRCS agency averages
  2. task_csv_stations_coverage - Analyze geographic coverage gaps across Idaho's 44 counties, identify missing Payette County, flag data quality issues
  3. task_csv_stations_filter - Multi-criteria filtering with DMS coordinate parsing, cross-tabulation by agency and elevation band

All tasks use assets/csvs/idaho_weather_stations.csv (213 stations, 10 columns). Each includes hybrid grading with automated Python checks and LLM judge rubrics.

Closes #220, Closes #223, Closes #235

Code Review Summary

Status: No Issues Found | Recommendation: Merge

Solid additions — the task definitions are well-structured with clear prompts, accurate expected values, and thorough hybrid grading that combines automated regex checks with LLM judge rubrics. The DMS coordinate parsing challenge in the filter task is a nice test of real-world data handling.

🧪 Test Results — PR #322 (Idaho Weather Stations Tasks)

Instance: f751856b (Vultr ATL, vc2-2c-4gb, Ubuntu 22.04)
Branch: tasks/csv-weather-stations
Benchmark: PinchBench 2.0.0-rc1
Run time: ~15 minutes (3 models in parallel)

Overall Scores

Model Mean Score Cost Tokens Tokens/Task
claude-opus-4.6 0.964 $1.33 409,790 136,597
gpt-5.4 0.778 $0.32 281,216 93,739

Per-Task Breakdown

task_csv_stations_by_elevation

Model Score Time Notes
claude-opus-4.6 0.916 113s All automated checks passed ✅. Judge: accurate data, good agency analysis, minor recommendation clarity issues
gpt-5.4 0.600 72s All automated checks passed ✅. Judge gave 0 across the board — incomplete transcript sent to judge (missing parts 2/5, 3/5)
gemini-3.1-pro 0.600 120s All automated checks passed ✅. Judge failed: "no parseable response after all attempts"

task_csv_stations_coverage

Model Score Time Notes
claude-opus-4.6 1.000 178s Perfect score! All automated + all judge criteria passed. Correctly identified Payette gap, county counts, elevation bands, NWS/NRCS roles
gpt-5.4 0.960 157s All automated passed ✅. Judge: slight deductions on agency analysis visibility and recommendations verifiability (transcript truncation)
gemini-3.1-pro 0.557 61s 6/7 automated passed, partial on agency_comparison (0.5). Judge failed entirely

task_csv_stations_filter

Model Score Time Notes
claude-opus-4.6 0.975 90s Near-perfect. All 4 filters correct. Minor: cross-tab table truncated in transcript but stats verify correct
gpt-5.4 0.773 57s ⚠️ NRCS Custer County filter returned 0 instead of 4 stations — logic bug. Other 3 filters correct
gemini-3.1-pro 0.787 93s NRCS Custer count check failed (0 credit), but found correct top station. Cross-tab partial (0.5). Judge partially worked here

Key Observations

Tasks are working well:

  • All 3 tasks loaded from the manifest correctly
  • CSV asset (idaho_weather_stations.csv) was properly placed in agent workspaces
  • Hybrid grading (automated + LLM judge) executed for all tasks
  • Automated grading checks are solid — correctly catching real errors (e.g., GPT-5.4 missing NRCS/Custer stations)

⚠️ LLM Judge Issues:

  • Gemini got "LLM judge failed: no parseable response after all attempts" on 2/3 tasks — this suppressed 40% of the possible score
  • GPT-5.4 got 0/4 from judge on task 1 due to "transcript incomplete" — the judge couldn't evaluate work it couldn't see
  • Claude was the only model that got judge scores on all 3 tasks
  • This is likely a benchmark infrastructure issue, not a task design issue. The judge (claude-opus-4.5) may be hitting rate limits or context issues when multiple models are graded in parallel

Task design feedback:

  • task_csv_stations_by_elevation: Clean, well-validated. 7/7 automated checks differentiate well
  • task_csv_stations_coverage: Excellent task — separated Claude (1.0) from GPT-5.4 (0.96) from Gemini (0.557). Good discriminating power
  • task_csv_stations_filter: The NRCS/Custer County filter is a good trap — caught real bugs in both GPT-5.4 and Gemini's CSV filtering logic. DMS coordinate parsing worked across all models

Verdict: Tasks look solid. The main issue is intermittent LLM judge failures that penalize models unfairly. Consider adding retry logic or a fallback judge model.
