OpenEvolve/openevolve

# OpenEvolve — faithful port of the real OpenEvolve (open AlphaEvolve) defaults.

  # OpenEvolve's default is a weighted 2-model ensemble; galapagos uses your injected model by default.
  # To replicate the upstream default, uncomment a `models:` list — build_model samples one model per
  # generate() by normalized weight (EnsembleModel). Provider/host/keys are yours to set:
  # models:
  #   - {name: gemini-2.0-flash-lite, weight: 0.8, host: openrouter}
  #   - {name: gemini-2.0-flash,      weight: 0.2, host: openrouter}
# NOTE: upstream `diff_based` / `allow_full_rewrite` / `max_code_length` are NOT exposed:
# OpenEvolveProposer is hard-wired to whole-line SEARCH/REPLACE diffs (apply_diff), no full-rewrite
# fallback — a response with no valid diff block is a no-op, as the reference discards it in diff mode.
# Cascade evaluation is task-owned (runs evaluate_stageN when the task defines them); the scaffold
# applies OpenEvolve's cascade_thresholds [0.5, 0.75, 0.9] unless the task card sets its own.
