The pip recipe ran under the system Python 3.13 while apps started under the
venv 3.12, so compiled extensions never loaded. Both now use sys.executable.
Package-style starts see the checkout root; NODE_PATH lists the project
node_modules under the checkout before the products mount.

Demos may reference ${served_root}, ${database_path}, ${marker_dir} or
${callback_url}; the verifier substitutes them per side, so apps that take a
directory or database argument can be wired to the oracle. Python apps start
under the verifier interpreter (the one pip built the products for): the image
carries a second system Python whose ABI tag broke compiled extensions.

Archives are gzipped and uploaded in parts of at most 90 MB with per-part
digests (edge request limit); pip installs ignore the task venv so transitive
dependencies land in products; the verifier sets NODE_PATH and the Java
classpath from products when starting the app.

HTTP start waits up to 90 s (CLI 30 s) with TCP then HTTP probing; app stdout
and stderr tails are recorded; tool-call turns get 4096 output tokens with one
retry on truncation; tasks get 40 steps with reminders.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>
Built projects spool to /workspace without package caches (cap 1 GiB, both
sides); a plain-text model reply is fed back once; mailbox PUT/GET retry for up
to 90 s with idempotent re-send by seq; executor tasks are deleted on every exit
path.

Demos may set a bounded environment (loader variables denied) and up to 8 small
data files under .demo/; the reason step sees conclusions and may not re-propose
them; a task spend limit concludes its intent, not the search; finish wins over
stray tool calls.

The agent passes a manifest file or project directory; pip uses -r for
requirements files and the directory for pyproject/setup, npm ci/install runs in
the directory, composer/maven/gradle likewise. Build and verify failures carry
phase, exit code and a sanitised stderr tail.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>
Demos declare their oracle within the family allowed set (injection: sql or
command; output_encoding: xss; untrusted_destination: ssrf; path: path);
builds and app starts use the search memory budget instead of the 256 MB tool
limit (npm died with SIGTRAP); malformed tool-call JSON is fed back once.

budget_spent carries end_detail (spend, task_spend, reason_rounds, ...); a task
whose allowance cannot cover the next call finishes with its facts; per-task
metrics in pilot records; input reservation bytes/2 + 1024 per message (measured
3-4x over-reservation before).

One base (Temurin 21 JDK, node/npm/tsc, php/composer, maven, sqlite, bwrap)
built only when its Dockerfile or dependencies change, plus a browser variant;
engine/search/VM images FROM base@sha256 with the code in the last layer; the
image workflow runs on dispatch, tags, Dockerfile or pin changes, with a build
cache. Executor NPROC bound relative to the current process count.

Settled ~$0.003 per model call; worst-case reservations exhausted the $0.05 task
allowance after 2-4 calls. Now $0.40 per task, $2 per search (maintainer decision).

Zero running workers behind "no free workers available" now raises
ClusterUnavailable instead of waiting out the capacity deadline; CapacityDeadline
carries its message; cleanup failures no longer mask the original exception; the
pilot driver aborts the run on infrastructure failure before any model call.

First live run: the reason step got ~190 tokens and returned {} -> silent
no_evidence. Now: a bootstrap intent reads the candidate and its entry point; the
reason prompt states the goal, family oracles, demo schema and must propose
intents when none are open; empty replies retry once then end as reason_refused;
failure records keep messages.

One side per run over selected pilot pairs: board, brain on the VM with the
project DeepSeek client, executor tasks on kube-ax, verification on the VM lane
(AX verify lane switchable). Hard run ceiling with reservation before every call,
per-search and step caps; fixed side never sees the vulnerable revision; records
carry digests only. Dry run with the stub model reaches demonstrated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Reasons carry type plus a sanitised message tail; command failures carry phase,
exit code and bounded stderr. Scratch walk tolerates directories pip removes
mid-walk; writable /workspace/home and runtime paths. Capacity retries delete a
possibly created task before resubmitting. Docker smoke checks the image first.

20 development pairs, one per repository, 4 per language, 5 per family; identities
in a gitignored manifest, counts and digest committed. Executor smoke drives one
executor task end to end without a model and fails loudly on an unread clone.
kube-ax operator constraints as steering.

Demos are data the verifier executes (fixed build recipes, runtime+path start,
HTTP/CLI steps with captures; the canary is never referable). The agent loop with
the key never runs repository code: executor tasks without a key exchange commands
and results through presigned objects. AX capacity errors are back-pressure with at
most 2 tasks in flight; caches and builds under /workspace with a 2 GiB guard;
verifiers take one presigned archive per side. Launcher fix: private /dev in bwrap.
190 tests on the host; probe 5/5 demonstrated.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
The kube-ax probe showed bwrap cannot map uids in gVisor as an unprivileged user.
As root (gVisor is the outer boundary) the sandbox uses pid/ipc/uts/net/mount
namespaces without a user namespace and drops the artefact to its own uid via
setpriv; the mode is recorded. The probe reports each namespace kind separately.

Probe runs each oracle toy pair with a real demo and two gaming demos, records
image facts, RSS and disk, fails loudly if isolation is unavailable; dispatchable
as an AX task. Worker: reason step without tools, explore tool loop whose run tool
goes through the sandbox with a scrubbed env (model key absent), spend reserved
before each call. Host probe: 5/5 real demos demonstrated, 10/10 gaming demos
inconclusive. 89 tests.

Board as immutable versioned blobs (coordinator sole writer); budget reserve/settle
before model calls; per-task and run caps; coordinator loop over an injected
executor; batch.py accepts a fixed allow-list of search variables; XSS browser
oracle; ousast-search-task image (Python, Node/TypeScript, PHP, Java 17, sqlite,
bwrap, chromium) built by CI. 103 tests on the host.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
The verifier, not the artefact, observes the effect: SQL, path, command and SSRF
oracles owned by the verifier (XSS needs a browser executor, else no_oracle);
artefact exit code and output ignored; immutable checkout and dependencies;
3 runs per side; one-sided build or readiness failure is inconclusive. An
isolation failure raises IsolationUnavailable instead of reading as
could_not_build (the NPROC limit now applies inside the user namespace).
35 tests, including gaming attempts and 300 host processes.

gVisor replays exhausted the hook's 30 s deadline in the snapshot step on a
1,725-file repository; cluster replays now use 30 s x a measured slowdown
factor, verified on a native sample. The engine runner deletes each pin's fetched
source (1.8 GB had accumulated), caps the cache at 500 MB and refuses below
1.5 GB free. Proof 4.4: two engine pins via the generic dispatcher match the VM
baseline exactly. Implemented with Codex.

Through Cloudflare, signed requests for keys ending .tar/.gz/.zip/.bin reached
RustFS altered and failed with 403 (cf-cache-status BYPASS); the same signed
request straight to RustFS on the LAN returned 200. A Cloudflare cache-bypass
rule on files.because-security.com fixes it (all extensions 200, DYNAMIC); the
engine executors keep .dat as a safeguard, the plane keeps output.tar.

The Joern leak-audit record named spent population v1/v2 repositories, which
the reserved-repository guard forbids outside benchmarks/independent/ (no v3

A lean overlay omits otel-collector, prometheus and jaeger and disables the
exporters; on an existing cluster up.sh scales them to 0. Verified live: render

Batch 3 of real (vulnerable function, fixed function) pointer pairs, mined at
zero model cost from reviewed GHSA advisories (pip, npm, maven, composer,
published since 2023, newest first). Same rules as batch 2, widened three
ways: a merged PR's single commit when the advisory links no commit, commits
up to 6 files / 240 lines, and two-family advisories with the family read
from the diff. Every candidate's function diff was read: 412 reviewed, 255
kept, 3 one-per-repository, 2 withheld by the reserved-population guard
(bisected with output discarded). Permissive licences only; no repository
named elsewhere under benchmarks/; no WordPress plugin.
Kept 251: injection 56, untrusted_destination 26, path 71, output_encoding
69, access_control 20, deserialization 9; python 83, typescript 48, php 46,
java 37, javascript 37. Only 12 post-cutoff: batch 2 had used up the
post-2026-06-01 pool. Memory 1133 -> 1635 static examples; complete pairs in
the whole memory 459 -> 710. Embeddings: 15 calls, $0.0030. No chat-model
call, no Docker, no Joern. Record:

The query fix stops a class-level call from aborting the whole taint batch on
real PHP code; gate, map_gate and pair_gate outputs are unchanged. Trace parsing
lives with the runner (benchmarks/learn/engine_trace_parse.py).

On real PHP source (CPS-IT/mailqueue) a call outside any method has a null
.method; inScope/nestedInLabeled dereferenced it (NullPointerException) and the
script exited 1, losing every taint answer for the repository. 16 sites in
taint/dominance/config/vocabulary.sc now treat a null method as out of scope;
non-null behaviour is unchanged (same outputs on the repro graph for the other
scripts). Static regression test added. Implemented with Codex.

Root causes of the 50 failed pins in trace run 1: advisory pairs were fed as
