MAINT Remove all functionality deprecated for v0.13.0

[romanlutz]

Summary

Remove all code that was deprecated with removal scheduled for v0.13.0.

Removed Classes/Modules

• HumanInTheLoopConverter — replaced by CoPyRIT GUI
• HumanInTheLoopScorerGradio — replaced by CoPyRIT GUI
• ChatMessageListDictContent — unused legacy model
• PsychosocialScenario alias — use \Psychosocial\ directly
• LeakageScenario alias — use \Leakage\ directly
• pyrit.ui module (Gradio GUI) — replaced by CoPyRIT React frontend
• rpc_client.py — internal to deprecated UI infrastructure

Removed Properties/Methods

• MessagePiece.role and Message.role properties — use .api_role\ (read) or ._role\ (write)
• AttackExecutor.execute_multi_objective_attack_async — use \�xecute_attack_async\
• AttackExecutor.execute_single_turn_attacks_async — use \�xecute_attack_async\
• AttackExecutor.execute_multi_turn_attacks_async — use \�xecute_attack_async\

Removed Parameters

• is_objective from \SeedDataset, \SeedGroup, \MemoryInterface.get_seeds(), \get_seed_groups()\ — use \seed_type\
• objectives from \Scam, \Cyber, \Psychosocial, \RedTeamAgent\ — use \dataset_config\ in \initialize_async\
• objectives_by_harm from \ContentHarms\ — use \dataset_config\ in \initialize_async\
• seed_prompts from \EncodingScenario\ — use \dataset_config\ in \initialize_async\
• objective_scorer from \ScenarioResult\ — use \objective_scorer_identifier\

Removed Enum Members

• PsychosocialStrategy: ImminentCrisis, LicensedTherapist aliases
• LeakageStrategy: SINGLE_TURN, MULTI_TURN, FirstLetter, Image, RolePlay, Crescendo aliases

Signature Changes

• ColloquialWordswapConverter: \deterministic\ is now keyword-only

Kept

• FoundryScenario alias — still used by azure-ai-evaluation partner package

Doc Updates

• Deleted converter/scorer doc files for removed classes
• Updated myst.yml, batch scorer docs, converter catalog, GUI docs

Testing

• All 6236 unit tests pass (1 pre-existing flaky test in test_airt_initializer)

Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Removes all functionality previously deprecated with removal planned for v0.13.0, including Gradio-based human-in-the-loop UI infrastructure, deprecated scenario parameters/aliases, and legacy model properties.

Changes:

• Removed deprecated Gradio UI modules, RPC client/server plumbing, and associated human-in-the-loop scorer/converter APIs.
• Removed deprecated scenario parameters/aliases (objectives, objectives_by_harm, seed_prompts, scenario alias classes) and deprecated AttackExecutor helper methods, updating tests accordingly.
• Tightened YAML loading behavior (explicit error on empty YAML) and updated docs/notebooks to reflect the removals and new APIs.

tests/unit/scenario/test_foundry.py:1

• Line 244 duplicates the assertion from line 241, so the test no longer checks the intended post-condition around lazy seed/objective resolution. Remove the duplicate assertion and restore an assertion that validates lazy resolution state (e.g., whichever internal field indicates seed groups/objectives have not been resolved yet) to keep this test meaningful.
  pyrit/prompt_target/openai/openai_chat_target.py:1
• The parenthetical is currently ambiguous: it reads as though “multi-part content format” is the universally accepted format. Consider rewording to make it clear that the single text content format is the more widely supported one (e.g., '...don't support multi-part content; plain string content is more universally accepted').
  pyrit/scenario/scenarios/airt/content_harms.py:1
• The __init__ docstring shows remnants of parameter documentation that no longer matches the signature (e.g., the removed objectives_by_harm parameter and stray lines about other parameters). Please update the docstring so it only documents current parameters and behavior.
  pyrit/prompt_converter/colloquial_wordswap_converter.py:1
• The public API change making deterministic keyword-only is a meaningful behavioral change. Consider adding/adjusting a unit test to assert that positional usage now raises TypeError (and that keyword usage still works), since the prior warning-based tests were removed.
  pyrit/scenario/core/scenario_strategy.py:1
• This is an example in the docstring, but using a specific version like 0.15.0 can become misleading (especially in a PR focused on 0.13.0 removals). Consider making this a clearly placeholder version string (e.g., X.Y.Z) or matching the project’s current deprecation/removal conventions.
