**Job ID**: `waa-waa3718w0-1768743963-20a88242`

## 🎯 What We Built

I've implemented **complete live monitoring infrastructure** for Azure ML benchmark evaluations:

### 1. Live Monitoring Script (`/tmp/azure_live_monitor.py`)
- Streams Azure ML job logs in real-time
- Parses task progress and execution status
- Updates `benchmark_live.json` every 2 seconds
- Calculates runtime, ETA, and progress metrics

### 2. Flask API Server (`/tmp/start_live_api.py`)
- Serves live benchmark data at `http://localhost:5001/api/benchmark-live`
- Provides REST API for viewer integration
- CORS-enabled for cross-origin requests

### 3. Live HTML Viewer (`live_viewer.html`)
- **Beautiful real-time dashboard** with:
  - ✅ Live status indicator with pulsing animation
  - ✅ Task progress (X / 13 completed)
  - ✅ Runtime counter (hours:minutes:seconds)
  - ✅ Estimated time remaining (calculated from avg task time)
  - ✅ Live execution logs (last 20 lines, auto-scroll)
  - ✅ Direct link to Azure ML Studio
  - ✅ Auto-refresh every 2 seconds
- **Responsive design** works on desktop, tablet, mobile
- **Professional UI** with gradients, shadows, animations

### 4. Screenshot Automation
- Integrated with Playwright auto-screenshot tool
- Generates viewer screenshots for README/PR embedding
- Multiple viewports and states supported

## 📊 Current Job Status

### Job Details
- **Status**: Running ⚠️
- **Compute Instance**: `waa3718w0` (Standard_D4ds_v5)
- **Total Tasks**: 13 real WAA tasks
- **Tasks Completed**: 0 / 13
- **Runtime**: ~8 hours (started ~8:41am PT)

### Domains Being Evaluated
1. **Chrome** (3 tasks): Web browser automation
2. **Notepad** (2 tasks): Text editor operations
3. **File Explorer** (3 tasks): File management
4. **LibreOffice Calc** (3 tasks): Spreadsheet operations
5. **Settings** (2 tasks): System configuration

### ⚠️ Issue: Job Still Provisioning

**Current State**: The Azure ML job shows "Running" but hasn't executed any tasks yet after 8 hours.

**Root Cause**: The local orchestrator is polling compute instance status every 30 seconds, indicating the job is **stuck in provisioning or waiting for compute resources**.

**Evidence**:
```
# Repeated polling (every 30s for 8 hours):
Request URL: '.../computes/waa3718w0?api-version=...'
Response status: 200
```

**Likely Reasons**:
1. Compute instance creation is slow (~1-3 hours normal, 8+ hours unusual)
2. Azure quota limitations preventing instance start
3. Docker image pull taking excessive time
4. Network/firewall issues preventing container startup

## 🖼️  Live Viewer Screenshots

**Screenshot Generated**: `screenshots_live/desktop_overview.png`

The live viewer shows:
- Real-time status (Running)
- Progress bar (0% - no tasks completed yet)
- Runtime counter
- ETA calculation (will show once first task completes)
- Live log stream from Azure
- Direct Azure ML Studio link

---

## ⏱️ Estimated Time to Completion

### If Job Starts Now:
- **Per-task time**: 5-10 minutes (estimated, based on mock runs)
- **Total tasks**: 13
- **Sequential execution**: 65-130 minutes (1.1-2.2 hours)
- **Total with current wait**: 9-10 hours from start

### If Job Continues to Hang:
- **Action required**: Cancel and restart with smaller VM or different region
- **Alternative**: Use local VM evaluation (30-60 minutes for 3-5 tasks)

---

## 🚀 Next Steps

### Option 1: Wait for Azure Job (Slow but Comprehensive)
1. ✅ Live monitoring running - you can watch progress
2. ⏳ Wait for compute to provision (check Azure Portal)
3. ⏳ Wait for tasks to execute (1-2 hours once started)
4. ✅ Generate viewer HTML from results
5. ✅ Screenshot real evaluation results
6. ✅ Update PR #6 with real screenshots

**Pros**: Most comprehensive data (13 tasks, 5 domains)
**Cons**: Already waited 8 hours, uncertain when it will actually start

### Option 2: Cancel and Run Local Evaluation (Fast)
1. Cancel current Azure job
2. Start Azure VM + WAA server (~10 minutes)
3. Run local evaluation with 3-5 real tasks (~30-45 minutes)
4. Generate viewer HTML
5. Screenshot real results
6. Update PR #6 with real screenshots

**Pros**: Guaranteed completion in ~1 hour total
**Cons**: Fewer tasks (3-5 vs 13)

### Option 3: Showcase Live Monitoring with Current State
1. ✅ Update PR #6 NOW with:
   - Live viewer screenshot showing "Running" state
   - Documentation of live monitoring feature
   - Explanation of real-time capabilities
2. ⏳ Add real results when Azure job completes (or run local eval)

**Pros**: Show what we built immediately
**Cons**: Viewer doesn't show actual evaluation results yet

## 🎨 What Goes in README/PR

### Screenshots to Include:
1. **Live monitoring dashboard** (running state) - shows real-time capability
2. **Benchmark viewer with real results** (when available)
   - Overview panel with stats
   - Task detail view with screenshots
   - Execution logs panel

### Documentation to Add:
- How to start live monitoring for Azure jobs
- Real-time status updates every 2 seconds
- ETA calculations
- Log streaming integration

## 💡 Recommendation

**I recommend Option 2: Cancel Azure job and run local evaluation**

**Reasoning**:
1. 8 hours of provisioning is abnormal - likely a configuration issue
2. Local evaluation will complete in ~1 hour total
3. You'll have real results to show in PRs/READMEs
4. Live monitoring works for both Azure and local evaluations
5. Can debug Azure issues separately without blocking PR

**Command to execute**:
```bash
# 1. Cancel current Azure job
az ml job cancel --name waa-waa3718w0-1768743963-20a88242 \
  --workspace-name openadapt-ml --resource-group openadapt-agents

# 2. Start VM + run local evaluation
python -m openadapt_evals.benchmarks.cli up
python -m openadapt_evals.benchmarks.cli live \
  --server http://$(python -m openadapt_evals.benchmarks.cli vm-status | grep "Public IP" | awk '{print $3}'):5000 \
  --agent api-claude \
  --task-ids notepad_1,browser_1,file_explorer_1 \
  --max-steps 15
```
