12* the prompt file is the judge's *system* prompt. It must ask for strict JSON with all three
13  default fields (``{"label": ..., "reasoning": "...", "confidence": <0-100>}``) and must tell the
14  judge that the payload is content to be graded, never instructions to follow. ``confidence`` is a

judge_runner.py on GitHub

percentage, an integer 0-100 — not a 0-1 probability;

* ``label`` carries whatever shape the queue's label has: a scalar, a list for a categorical or

multi-select label, or — for a joint judge over a multi-label queue — an object keyed by label

name (``{"type": ["permanent"], "domain": ["platform_outage"]}``), scored one label at a time

with ``scoring.py --label-field``;

* the payload is passed as the user turn, fenced, and NOTHING else about the row is sent —

no human label, no reviewer reasoning, no annotation metadata. That is leakage (rubric §2).

Output: one JSON object per (row, run) — never aggregated here. Aggregation, majority voting and

scoring live in ``scoring.py`` so the raw passes stay auditable.
