+
+    The bandit:
+        - Picks an arm uniformly at random with probability ``epsilon``.
+        - Otherwise exploits the highest observed success rate. Unseen arms
+          have an optimistic prior so the first few objectives effectively

+          ``pool_threshold`` observations for an arm.
+
+    A baseline ``PromptSendingAttack`` is **not** prepended — every objective
+    runs through the dispatcher, and ``prompt_sending`` participates as one of

+# # TextAdaptive Scenario
+#
+# The `TextAdaptive` scenario uses an **epsilon-greedy selector** to intelligently choose
+# which attack technique to try for each objective. Unlike static scenarios that run every
+# selected technique against every objective, `TextAdaptive` adapts its strategy selection
+# based on observed success rates — spending more attempts on techniques that work and
+# exploring new ones with a configurable probability.
+#
+# ## How It Works
+#
+# For each objective (prompt), the selector:
+#
+# 1. **Explores** with probability `epsilon` — picks a technique uniformly at random.
+# 2. **Exploits** otherwise — picks the technique with the highest observed success rate.
+# 3. **Stops early** when a technique succeeds, avoiding wasted attempts.
+# 4. Tries **up to** `max_attempts_per_objective` techniques before moving on.
+#
+# Unseen techniques start with an optimistic prior (100% success estimate), so the first
+# few objectives effectively round-robin through every available technique before the
+# selector converges on the best performers.
+#
+# ## Key Differences from Static Scenarios
+#
+# | Feature | Static Scenarios | TextAdaptive |
+# |---------|-----------------|--------------|
+# | Technique selection | Run all selected techniques | Selector picks per-objective |
+# | Early stopping | No | Yes — stops on first success |
+# | Learning | None | Updates success rates after each attempt |
+# | Baseline | Prepended automatically | Forbidden — `prompt_sending` is a technique |
+# | Efficiency | O(techniques × objectives) | O(max_attempts × objectives) |

+# ## Basic Usage
+#
+# The simplest way to run `TextAdaptive` uses all defaults: the selector explores with 20%
+# probability, tries up to 3 techniques per objective, and uses the default dataset
+# (AIRT harm categories).

+# ## Customizing the Selector
+#
+# ### Epsilon (Exploration Rate)
+#
+# `epsilon` controls how often the selector explores vs. exploits:
+# - `epsilon=0.0` — pure exploitation (always pick the best-known technique)
+# - `epsilon=1.0` — pure exploration (random selection every time)
+# - `epsilon=0.2` (default) — 20% random exploration, 80% exploitation
+
+# %%
+# More explorative selector — useful when you want broader technique coverage

+
+# %% [markdown]
+# ### Max Attempts Per Objective
+#
+# `max_attempts_per_objective` caps how many techniques the selector tries before giving
+# up on an objective. Setting this higher gives more chances to succeed but costs more
+# API calls.

+# %% [markdown]
+# ## Context-Aware Selection
+#
+# By default, the selector shares one global table across all objectives. This means
+# a technique that works well on hate-speech objectives also gets boosted for
+# violence objectives.
+#
+# To partition the selector by harm category (so each category learns independently),
+# pass `harm_category_context` as the `context_extractor`:
+
+# %%

+contextual_result = await contextual_scenario.run_async()  # type: ignore

+
+# %% [markdown]
+# The `pool_threshold` parameter controls how many local observations are needed before
+# the per-category estimate overrides the pooled-global estimate. With
+# `pool_threshold=2`, the selector uses the global average until it has seen at least 2
+# results for a specific (category, technique) pair.
+
+# %% [markdown]
+# ## Strategy Selection
+#
+# `TextAdaptive` builds its strategy enum dynamically from the scenario-techniques
+# catalog. You can restrict which techniques participate using the
+# `scenario_strategies` parameter:
+
+# %%
+strategy_class = TextAdaptive.get_strategy_class()
+
+# See all available strategies
+print("Available strategies:")
+for member in strategy_class:
+    print(f"  {member.value}")

+#
+# For each objective, the scenario tries up to `max_attempts_per_objective` techniques:
+#
+# - With probability `epsilon`, it **explores** — picks a random technique.
+# - Otherwise it **exploits** — picks the technique with the highest observed success
+#   rate so far.
+# - It records the outcome and stops early on success.
+#
+# Unseen techniques are tried first, so the first few objectives effectively round-robin
+# through every technique before the scenario settles on the best performers.
+#
+# ## Adaptive vs. static scenarios
+#
+# | Feature             | Static scenarios                  | Adaptive scenarios                 |
+# |---------------------|-----------------------------------|------------------------------------|
+# | Technique selection | Run every selected technique      | Pick per-objective from outcomes   |
+# | Early stopping      | No                                | Yes — stops on first success       |
+# | Cost                | O(techniques × objectives)        | O(max_attempts × objectives)       |
+#

-# # TextAdaptive Scenario
-#
-# The `TextAdaptive` scenario uses an **epsilon-greedy selector** to intelligently choose
-# which attack technique to try for each objective. Unlike static scenarios that run every
-# selected technique against every objective, `TextAdaptive` adapts its strategy selection
-# based on observed success rates — spending more attempts on techniques that work and
-# exploring new ones with a configurable probability.
-#
-# ## How It Works
-#
-# For each objective (prompt), the selector:
-#
-# 1. **Explores** with probability `epsilon` — picks a technique uniformly at random.
-# 2. **Exploits** otherwise — picks the technique with the highest observed success rate.
-# 3. **Stops early** when a technique succeeds, avoiding wasted attempts.
-# 4. Tries **up to** `max_attempts_per_objective` techniques before moving on.
-#
-# Unseen techniques start with an optimistic prior (100% success estimate), so the first
-# few objectives effectively round-robin through every available technique before the
-# selector converges on the best performers.
-#
-# ## Key Differences from Static Scenarios
-#
-# | Feature | Static Scenarios | TextAdaptive |
-# |---------|-----------------|--------------|
-# | Technique selection | Run all selected techniques | Selector picks per-objective |
-# | Early stopping | No | Yes — stops on first success |
-# | Learning | None | Updates success rates after each attempt |
-# | Baseline | Prepended automatically | Forbidden — `prompt_sending` is a technique |
-# | Efficiency | O(techniques × objectives) | O(max_attempts × objectives) |

-# ## Context-Aware Selection
-#
-# By default, the selector shares one global table across all objectives. This means
-# a technique that works well on hate-speech objectives also gets boosted for
-# violence objectives.
-#
-# To partition the selector by harm category (so each category learns independently),
-# pass `harm_category_context` as the `context_extractor`:
-
-# %%

-
-# %% [markdown]
-# The `pool_threshold` parameter controls how many local observations are needed before
-# the per-category estimate overrides the pooled-global estimate. With
-# `pool_threshold=2`, the selector uses the global average until it has seen at least 2
-# results for a specific (category, technique) pair.
-
-# %% [markdown]
-# ## Strategy Selection
-#
-# `TextAdaptive` builds its strategy enum dynamically from the scenario-techniques
-# catalog. You can restrict which techniques participate using the
-# `scenario_strategies` parameter:
-
-# %%
-strategy_class = TextAdaptive.get_strategy_class()

-
-# %% [markdown]
-# ## Deterministic Runs
-#
-# For reproducibility, pass a `seed` to make the selector's random decisions deterministic:
-
-# %%
-deterministic_scenario = TextAdaptive(seed=42, epsilon=0.3)

-await printer.print_summary_async(deterministic_result)  # type: ignore
-
-# %% [markdown]
-# ## Custom Scorer
-#
-# By default, `TextAdaptive` uses the standard composite scorer. You can override it
-# with any `TrueFalseScorer`:
-
-# %%
-from pyrit.prompt_target import OpenAIChatTarget
-from pyrit.score import SelfAskRefusalScorer, TrueFalseInverterScorer
-
-refusal_scorer = SelfAskRefusalScorer(chat_target=OpenAIChatTarget())

-await printer.print_summary_async(custom_result)  # type: ignore
-
-# %% [markdown]
-# ## Notes
-#
-# - **No baseline**: `TextAdaptive` has `BASELINE_POLICY = Forbidden`. The `prompt_sending`
-#   technique participates as one of the selector's techniques, so a separate baseline is redundant.
-# - **Resumability**: Each atomic attack is keyed by `adaptive_{dataset}_{objective_id}`, so
-#   re-running a scenario picks up where it left off.
-# - **Shared selector**: All objectives in a run share the same `AdaptiveTechniqueSelector`
-#   instance, so learning from one objective immediately benefits the next.

Subject: [PATCH 10/35] feat: address PR #1760 review feedback

- Remove prompt_sending from adaptive pool; enable baseline comparison
- Expose max_attempts_per_objective via supported_parameters() (scam.py pattern)
- Rename AdaptiveTechniqueSelector -> EpsilonGreedyTechniqueSelector
- Extract TechniqueSelector Protocol; accept custom selector via kwarg
- Per-decision RNG derivation (SHA-256) for resume reproducibility
- Drop uuid.uuid4() fallback for objective IDs
- Per-dataset atomic attacks (one AtomicAttack per dataset, not per objective)
- AdaptiveDispatchParams with per-call seed_group and compatibility filtering
- Context extraction moved to dispatcher
- Rehydration uses get_attack_results with attribution_data filtering
- Split selector.py into selectors/ folder (protocol.py + epsilon_greedy.py)
- Update notebooks for new API patterns

+#   to tune the selection algorithm. Defaults to ``EpsilonGreedyTechniqueSelector()``

 # - **`context_extractor`** — partitions the success-rate table. The default

Subject: [PATCH 12/35] Redesign TechniqueSelector: stateless, memory-backed,
 eval-hash keyed

- Make TechniqueSelector stateless: queries memory instead of internal counts
- Identify techniques by AttackTechnique eval hashes instead of names
- Pre-select K techniques via num_top_techniques parameter
- Add SelectorScope enum (ALL_RUNS / CURRENT_RUN)
- Move ASR aggregation to pyrit/analytics/scenario_analysis.py
- Rename protocol.py to technique_selector.py
- Remove ContextExtractor, SelectorContext, redundant VERSION/BASELINE_ATTACK_POLICY
- Add scanner CLI section to notebook
- Rename number_to_get to num_top_techniques
- Remove label_key from user-facing API (hardcode ADAPTIVE_TECHNIQUE_LABEL)

Subject: [PATCH 14/35] fix: ruff TC001/TC003 and ty type narrowing for
 adaptive scenario

- Move annotation-only imports (Sequence, AttackStats, TechniqueSelector) into TYPE_CHECKING blocks to satisfy ruff TC001/TC003.

- Add assert eval_hash is not None before using technique identifier hash as dict key in AdaptiveScenario._build_techniques_dict (ty invalid-assignment).

- Wrap long @patch decorators and let ruff-format clean up adjacent test_dispatcher blank lines and unused MagicMock import.

Subject: [PATCH 15/35] Replace SelectorScope enum with frozen dataclass

Addresses the TODO in technique_selector.py that called for richer scope
filtering than the binary ALL_RUNS / CURRENT_RUN enum.

- technique_selector.py: SelectorScope is now a frozen dataclass with
  current_run_only, attack_classes, targeted_harm_categories, and
  extra_labels fields, plus all_runs() / current_run() classmethods for
  the common cases.

- analytics/scenario_analysis.py: compute_technique_success_rates now
  accepts attack_classes, targeted_harm_categories, and extra_labels
  kwargs and forwards them to memory.get_attack_results (extra_labels
  are merged with the technique-hash label filter; the technique label
  cannot be overridden).

- EpsilonGreedyTechniqueSelector: default scope is SelectorScope.all_runs();
  scope fields flow to analytics, and scenario_result_id is forwarded only
  when current_run_only=True.

- Tests: extend test_scenario_analysis.py and test_epsilon_greedy.py with
  scope-filter forwarding cases; add test_selector_scope.py covering
  classmethods, frozen-ness, and field combinations.

Subject: [PATCH 16/35] fix: pre-commit failures (ruff TC001 + nbstripout)

Move TechniqueSelector import in dispatcher.py into the TYPE_CHECKING
block (ruff TC001) -- it is only used as a type annotation. The
ADAPTIVE_TECHNIQUE_LABEL constant from the same package stays at module
scope since it is referenced at runtime.

Also apply nbstripout normalization to doc/code/scenarios/3_adaptive_scenarios.ipynb
(cell-id renumbering only; no semantic changes).

Subject: [PATCH 17/35] refactor(adaptive): delegate dispatcher loop to
 SequentialAttack

Per rlundeen2's review on PR #1760
(https://github.com/microsoft/PyRIT/pull/1760#discussion_r3290886565),
collapse AdaptiveDispatchAttack's manual per-objective attempt loop into
a SequentialAttack(completion_policy=FIRST_SUCCESS) (introduced in
PR #1819).

Each objective now produces exactly one AttackResult envelope
(SequentialAttackResult, conversation_id=""), and the inner per-technique
attempts persist as their own first-class AttackResult rows reachable via
child_attack_results / child_attack_result_ids. This removes the prior
hack where the winning inner result was rewritten with a fresh uuid and
re-persisted alongside its original, producing two rows that shared a
conversation_id.

What changed in dispatcher.py:
- Drop _run_inner_attack_async, the manual for-loop, AttackExecutor usage,
  and the uuid / datetime / dataclasses.replace / AttackOutcome imports.
- Build a SequentialChildAttack per chosen technique (with per-attempt
  memory labels and per-attempt seed_group.with_technique() merging), then
  delegate iteration + stop-on-success + envelope construction to
  SequentialAttack.
- Stamp the per-attempt trail at metadata["adaptive_attempts"] on the
  returned envelope (one entry per attempt that actually ran).

Compatibility preserved: same public constructor signature, same
filtering of techniques whose seed_technique is incompatible with the
current seed_group (still raises ValueError on empty pool so the outer
executor drops the seed group rather than silently no-op'ing), same
per-attempt memory_labels shape, same seed_technique merging.

Tests updated to patch SequentialAttack._run_child_attack_async instead
of the deleted _run_inner_attack_async, and assert the envelope is a
SequentialAttackResult with conversation_id == "" and the inner result
exposed via child_attack_results.

+# ## Rapid Response Scenario
+#
+# `RapidResponse` is the content-harms testing scenario. It tests model behavior across multiple
+# harm categories (hate, fairness, violence, sexual, harassment, misinformation, leakage) using
+# selectable attack techniques (PromptSending, RolePlay, ManyShot, TAP). Unlike `RedTeamAgent`,
+# its results are grouped by **harm category** rather than by attack technique.
+#
+# The same parameter patterns from above — datasets, strategies, baseline, and custom scorers —
+# all work with `RapidResponse`.
+
+# %%

Subject: [PATCH 24/35] FIX: Resolve CI failures from upstream merge with PR
 #1881 (Pydantic identifiers)

Four related fixes needed to unblock CI after the upstream merge that
brought in PR #1881 (Refactoring Identifiers to be Pydantic classes):

1. `pyrit/models/identifiers/evaluation_identifier.py`:
   The merge hoisted `from pyrit.executor.attack.core.attack_strategy
   import AttackStrategy` to module level, forming a cycle through
   `pyrit.executor.attack` -> `pyrit.message_normalizer` ->
   `pyrit.common.data_url_converter` -> `pyrit.models`. Move it back
   inside `if TYPE_CHECKING:` (`from __future__ import annotations`
   is already enabled, so the string annotation `attack: AttackStrategy`
   still resolves at type-check time).

2. `tests/unit/models/identifiers/test_evaluation_identifier.py`:
   Add missing blank lines between top-level classes (ruff format) and
   replace four `from pyrit.identifiers import ...` lines with
   `from pyrit.models.identifiers import ...` (the former is now a
   deprecation shim that the static-scan deprecation test forbids
   internal callers from using).

3. `pyrit/scenario/scenarios/adaptive/adaptive_scenario.py`:
   Mark the three classmethod stubs as `@abstractmethod` so
   `inspect.isabstract(AdaptiveScenario)` returns `True` and the
   scenario registry's auto-discovery skips it (otherwise the registry
   tries to instantiate the abstract base and raises
   `NotImplementedError`, breaking `test_load_default_datasets`).

4. `pyrit/scenario/scenarios/adaptive/adaptive_scenario.py` and
   `pyrit/scenario/scenarios/adaptive/text_adaptive.py`:
   Move `from pyrit.setup.initializers.components.scenario_techniques
   import build_scenario_technique_factories` from module level back
   into the function body. `scenario_techniques` imports
   `pyrit.scenario.core`, which transitively re-imports the adaptive
   package during `pyrit.scenario` initialization, so a top-level
   import forms a cycle.

Subject: [PATCH 25/35] refactor(adaptive): convert dispatcher to factory that
 returns a plain SequentialAttack

Replaces the previous AdaptiveDispatchAttack (an AttackStrategy subclass that
delegated to an internal SequentialAttack) with a slim factory + subclass:

  - AdaptiveTechniqueDispatcher: plain class, not an AttackStrategy. Exposes
    compatible_techniques(seed_group=...) and async build_attack_async(seed_group=...).
    Selects techniques up-front per objective via TechniqueSelector and returns
    a fully-wired AdaptiveSequentialAttack.

  - AdaptiveSequentialAttack: ~15-LoC SequentialAttack subclass. Adds a
    technique_labels constructor argument and stamps adaptive_attempts
    metadata onto the envelope returned by super()._perform_async, then
    delegates everything else to the framework.

Atomic-attack shape:
  - One AtomicAttack per (dataset, seed_group) instead of one per dataset.
  - atomic_attack_name = `{prefix}_{dataset}::{objective_sha[:12]}` so each
    objective gets its own deterministic, hash-disambiguated identifier.
  - display_group = dataset_name preserves the grouping for reporting.
  - All per-dataset dispatchers share the same TechniqueSelector instance so
    learning still accumulates globally.

Rationale: eliminates the dispatcher's coupling to SequentialAttack's private
lifecycle internals (no more manual `_perform_async` orchestration, no more
duplicating envelope/metadata wiring) and removes a layer of indirection that
was making the call graph hard to reason about. The dispatcher is now an
`envelope factory'', not an attack.

All 56 adaptive unit tests pass (verified via docker devcontainer pytest run).

-The selector is stateless and async: it queries memory for historical
-success rates. The dispatcher pre-selects up to ``max_attempts_per_objective``
-techniques at the start of each objective, builds a per-call
-``SequentialAttack`` whose child attacks are the chosen techniques, and
-delegates iteration + stop-on-success + envelope construction to that

+execute anything and does not persist anything. ``AdaptiveScenario`` calls
+``build_attack_async`` once per ``SeedAttackGroup`` during scenario
+initialization, wraps each returned attack in its own ``AtomicAttack``, and
+hands them to the scenario base for execution.
+
+The returned attack is a plain ``SequentialAttack`` with
+``SequenceCompletionPolicy.FIRST_SUCCESS``. The per-attempt dispatch trail
+(which technique ran, with what outcome, in what order) is not stamped onto
+the envelope — every child ``AttackResult`` in
+``SequentialAttackResult.child_attack_results`` already carries its own
+``outcome`` and its own ``atomic_attack_identifier.eval_hash``, so callers
+reconstruct the trail by joining children against
