docs: classifier evaluations cannot be tested before deploy

[DeepanshuPal]

Description

Fixes #834. The classifier evaluation page said Jev could be tested before deploy even though that panel now refuses judge and classifier evaluations. This uses the issue's replacement guidance, clarifies the test page is code-only, and keeps the backfill guidance intact. The heading is now "Backfill".

Type of Change

• Documentation

Checks

• bun run validate:mdx: 1057 pages parsed cleanly
• bun run lint: 0 errors, 5 warnings in unchanged files
• bunx tsc --noEmit: passed
• bun run test:run: started locally, but exceeded a 120-second execution window before completion; not claimed as passing
• Full production build not run locally; this is a two-page docs-only change

AI assistance was used to prepare and check this documentation patch; the issue's supplied wording was preserved.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Clarified that code evaluations can be tested before deployment, while judge and classifier evaluations cannot be tested until after deployment because model-budget spending is authorized only then.
  • Updated the testing guidance to explain this restriction.
  • Recommended deploying classifier evaluations to a narrow scope and reviewing early scores.
  • Retained the existing backfill guidance under the “Backfill” section.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The evaluation documentation now says that only code evaluations can be tested before deployment. The classifier page recommends narrow deployment and early score review, and retains its backfill guidance.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in docs/evaluations/jev.mdx: Replaces the “Testing and backfill” section, which said classifiers could be tested against real sessions before deployment, with a “Backfill” section stating they cannot be tested before deployment because model-budget spending is authorized only after deployment; it recommends deploying narrowly and reviewing early scores.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/evaluations/test.mdx: The documentation limits testing to code evaluations; judge and classifier evaluations cannot be tested because their model-budget use is authorized only after deployment, and the panel explains the restriction.

_{A rabbit reads the pages with care,
“Code tests run before deployment,” says the hare.
Judge and classifier wait until deployed,
Narrow scopes let early scores be enjoyed.
Backfill guidance stays in place,
The rabbit hops off at a gentle pace.}

Limit the page description to code evaluations.

The frontmatter description still says users can run an evaluation against real sessions before deployment. This conflicts with Line 9, which excludes judge and classifier evaluations. Update the description to specify code evaluations.
