Update the evaluation framework to let the LLM output a reward of 0.0-1.0, rather than a simple PASS or FAIL.

I'll update the evaluation framework to use a continuous reward score from 0.0 to 1.0 instead of binary PASS/FAIL. Let me first examine the current implementation to understand the structure.

Now I'll update the evaluation framework to focus on continuous reward scoring (0.0-1.0) instead of binary PASS/FAIL. The framework already has the infrastructure for scores, but I'll modify it to emphasize continuous rewards.

## Summary

I've successfully updated the evaluation framework to use continuous reward scoring (0.0-1.0) instead of binary PASS/FAIL. Here are the key changes made:

### 1. **Updated Models** (`models.py`)
- Modified `EvaluationResult` to use a `reward` field (0.0-1.0) as the primary metric
- Made the `passed` field optional for backward compatibility  
- Changed `required_info_found` to use float scores instead of boolean values
- Added logic to determine pass/fail based on a 0.6 threshold when needed

### 2. **Enhanced Evaluator** (`evaluator.py`)
- Updated the system prompt to emphasize continuous scoring with clear ranges:
  - 0.0-0.2: Complete failure
  - 0.2-0.4: Poor performance
  - 0.4-0.6: Partial success
  - 0.6-0.8: Good performance
  - 0.8-1.0: Excellent performance
- Modified evaluation prompts to request continuous rewards and partial credit
- Updated parsing to handle both new reward format and legacy score/passed format
- Changed report generation to show "Average Reward" instead of "Average Score"

### 3. **Updated UI and Reports** (`main.py`)
- Modified displays to show "Reward" instead of "Score"
- Implemented 0.6 as the default pass threshold
- Updated all status determinations to use the continuous reward with threshold

### 4. **Documentation Updates**
- Updated README.md, FRAMEWORK_SUMMARY.md, and TEST_FRAMEWORK_GUIDE.md
- Changed examples to show reward scores and the 0.6 threshold for pass/fail

### Key Benefits

The continuous reward system now provides:
- **Nuanced evaluation**: Captures partial successes and degrees of quality
- **Better feedback**: Agents can see how close they are to passing
- **Granular analysis**: Allows for more detailed performance tracking
- **Backward compatibility**: Still supports binary pass/fail when needed

The framework treats 0.6 as the default threshold for determining pass/fail status, but the primary metric is now the continuous reward score from 0.0 to 1.0, providing much more granular evaluation of agent memory performance.
