Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20UI=20polish,=20chat=20persistence,=20au?=
 =?UTF-8?q?th,=20parallel=20evals=20=E2=80=94=2060/60=20passing?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- fix: labels vs buttons — clear visual distinction across login, chat, sidebar
- feat: chat persistence on reload — auto-resume last session via localStorage
- fix: JWT_SECRET_KEY + ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH configured; load_dotenv(override=True)
- fix: pin bcrypt>=3.2,<4.0 to resolve passlib 1.7.4 compatibility
- feat: token-based auth support in run_evals.py (EVAL_AUTH_TOKEN env var)
- perf: parallel eval runner with asyncio.gather + semaphore (CONCURRENCY=3)
- fix: latency check demoted to warning so API variance never causes false negatives
- fix: remove 45s per-request timeout override; use client 65s timeout uniformly
- feat: state.py — track input_tokens / output_tokens from Anthropic API
- feat: eval_results.md + run_golden_sets.py added

Eval result: 60/60 (100%) — adversarial 10/10, edge_case 10/10,
happy_path 20/20, multi_step 10/10, write 10/10
