AIxCC cyber reasoning systems, self-improving harness methods (GEPA, DGM,
Self-Harness, SkillOpt, AHE), vulnerability-dataset pitfalls and CWE taxonomies,
and routing/regression-control literature. The design changes they force:
coarse verifier-aligned families instead of fine CWE, multi-label routing with
an unknown class, pair-wise outcomes with a directional-bias index, K-run
reliable-change tests, a per-class seed-noise floor as the regression budget,
a no-regression acceptance rule with ties rejected, structural edits over prose
edits, a proposer blind to the holdout, and verifier code and gold labels
outside every editable surface.
