When running parallel evaluations, multiple workers connect to the LMHandler socket server. When workers complete and close their sockets, BrokenPipeError was raised during response transmission, causing noisy error output. Changes: - Add _safe_send() helper that catches connection errors silently - Handle BrokenPipeError, ConnectionError, ConnectionResetError, and OSError separately from other exceptions - Use _safe_send() for all socket_send() calls in handle() method This prevents cascading errors where the exception handler tried to send an error response on an already-broken socket.

Summary
BrokenPipeErrorthat occurred during parallel evaluation runs (e.g.,--parallel 9)_safe_send()helper method that catches connection errors gracefullyProblem
When running parallel evaluations with the RLM eval harness:
Multiple workers connect to the LMHandler socket server simultaneously. When workers complete and close their sockets (or the connection is interrupted), the server would raise
BrokenPipeErrorwhen trying to send responses. The error handler would then try to send an error response on the same broken socket, causing anotherBrokenPipeError.Solution
_safe_send()helper that wrapssocket_send()and catches connection errorsBrokenPipeError,ConnectionError,ConnectionResetError, andOSErrorseparately - these are expected during parallel execution and can be silently ignored_safe_send()for all socket operations in thehandle()methodTest plan
--parallel 9to confirm BrokenPipeError is no longer logged🤖 Generated with Claude Code
