Summary

  • Adds a comment in .env.example above AZURE_BASELINE_DEPLOYMENT explaining that the value must match a key in the pricing section of the config file
  • Adds a callout block in QUICKSTART.md (Part 2, credentials step) with the same guidance and an example of how to add a custom entry

Discovered while running evaluations against a Quick Deploy setup. If you use a descriptive deployment name (e.g. gpt-4o-baseline) that doesn't match any pricing: key in your config, baseline costs are recorded as $0.0000 with no warning — making the cost comparison inaccurate. The underlying silent-failure is tracked in #2.

Changes

  • .env.example: three-line comment above AZURE_BASELINE_DEPLOYMENT
  • QUICKSTART.md: one-sentence callout block after the credentials setup step

Test plan

  • pytest tests/ -v -m "not integration" — 165 passed, 2 pre-existing failures (optional [foundry] extras not installed, unrelated to this change)
  • ruff check src/ tests/ scripts/ — all checks passed
  • No code changes, documentation only

Add a comment in .env.example and a callout block in QUICKSTART.md
explaining that AZURE_BASELINE_DEPLOYMENT must match a key in the
pricing section of the config file. If a custom deployment name is used
(e.g. gpt-4o-baseline) without a matching pricing entry, baseline costs
are silently recorded as $0.0000 with no warning, making cost comparison
inaccurate.

Discovered while running evaluations against a Quick Deploy setup.
Applies to both Quick Deploy and Custom Deploy modes.
