Scenario-driven testing framework for AI agents. Run structured evaluations with multiple roles, capture evidence, and validate agent behavior before deployment.

AI agents are non-deterministic. Traditional unit tests don't work when your system might give different answers each time. This sandbox provides:
- Scenario-driven testing - Define evaluation contexts in YAML/JSON
- Multi-role simulations - Doer, Judge, Adversary, Observer roles
- Structured evidence - Machine-readable results for compliance
- Regression baselines - Compare runs over time
Use cases:
- Pre-deployment compliance validation
- Red team testing of agent guardrails
- Regression testing across model updates
- Audit trail generation for enterprise AI

notes: str- Phase 1: Scenario model and basic runner
- Phase 2: Evidence logging and scoring
- Phase 3: Real agent integration — implemented via cmmc-scenario-holdout (140 black-box behavioral scenarios against a live CMMC platform digital twin)
- Phase 4: Multi-agent adversarial scenarios — prompt injection, privilege escalation, CUI exfiltration, and social engineering scenarios across 10 categories
- Phase 5: Visualization dashboard — Dark Factory results dashboard with category heatmaps, CMMC control coverage, and finding timelines
Requirements:
- Python 3.10+
- PyYAML
