Compare the actual title without stripping it.

For a nonblank expected title, _check_title calls actual.strip(). A tool title with added leading or trailing whitespace therefore passes the exact-title check. Compare actual directly with the normalized expected title.

Suggested fix 
-    return isinstance(actual, str) and actual.strip() == expected.title
+    return isinstance(actual, str) and actual == expected.title

Update _check_title to compare the actual title directly with expected.title,
without stripping whitespace; keep the string type check and the existing
behavior when no expected title is set.

checks() returns every field, so every alert trace now gets title_correct, dashboard_correct and comparison_correct scores, including items that never state them. An unasserted check scores 1.0. On a refusal (no tool call) it scores 0.0.

Impact: 55 of the 63 alert items state no title, yet each one writes title_correct=1.0. Per-check pass rates in Langfuse are inflated by checks that never ran. A refusal also shows up as a title/dashboard/comparison failure on items with no such expectation. dashboard_skill and document_skill emit their conditional checks only when the case applies them.

Suggestion: emit (and gate on) a conditional check only when the item states its expectation. For example, have checks() take the expected alert and skip comparison_correct / title_correct / dashboard_correct when the matching field is None. Listing the check names explicitly instead of using asdict(self) also keeps a future non-bool field out of strict_pass.

Agreed, fixed in 89638b9. comparison_correct, title_correct and dashboard_correct are now None when the item states no such expectation. In that case they are not scored on the trace, not in the run detail and not gated, so an item without a title no longer logs title_correct=1, and a refusal no longer reads as a title/dashboard/comparison failure. checks() now builds from an explicit list of check names instead of asdict(self). test_a_refusal_fails_a_stated_title_and_reports_no_unstated_check covers the refusal case.

I left attributes_correct and granularity_correct as they were (always emitted) so their history in Langfuse stays comparable. Happy to move them to the same conditional scheme in a follow-up if you prefer.
