🟡 How to scroll in Rationale and Prompt Preview w...

Trying out the prompt optimizer - how do I scroll on the Rationale and Prompt Preview window? It looks like there is a scroll symbol, but my mouse clicks or arrow keys don't do anything Also, looks like the right/left arrow keys for navigating cards (my assumption based on the instructions at the bottom) don't work https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1253172394345107466/1451683520669028546/Screenshot_2025-12-19_at_1.11.14_PM.png?ex=69845ee2&is=69830d62&hm=beefe5948681de0cccdbb715406bff4327d1693340c9b6f02991be12a61c86b5&
Also would like the option to copy paste text from the TUI! Looks like that's not working right now

iirc @greg (BAML) said scrolling isn’t implemented yet during Tuesday’s info session

Ah okay, I missed that session

Yes sorry! I can fix that for the next release 🙂
If you don't mind the inconvenience, you can find the rational in .baml_optimize scratch files in your project.

No problem thanks! Ah great, will check that. Two more things - 1. The example in the BAML docs is super simple. I understand for brevity, but 4.5 does great on it and doesn't show the impact of GEPA. I've modified the example to extract multiple Persons from prompts and have some test cases against that, and it definitely showcases the GEPA optimization better. I'll share that, in case it's a better example to include! 2. I have an OK understanding of GEPA, but I'm not able to increase the number of iterations with the BAML gepa optimization. For the setup I have, it keeps getting limited to 4. I tried making "--auto medium" and "--trails 5" but it stops at 4 iterations. I was guessing maybe it was to do with finding points along the pareto frontier and stopping early, but can't be sure.

Oh wow, thanks for working on a better example, that's wonderful! I'd love to have something that better showcases GEPA!
baml-cli optimize --trials 20 --weight accuracy=0.5,tokens=0.5 ^ Does that work? Perhaps there is a bug in convergence-detection when only considering accuracy.
Btw I really like that the GEPA optimization suggests updates on the BAML class descriptions!
