Marius CiepluchandClaude Opus 4.8 7c220307d4 measurements: path-family pilot after keystone + target-parity (0 demos, parity validated) [skip ci]
3 path searches (php/ts/py), vulnerable side, cluster verify lane, $2.95 of $3.
Payload-free aggregate; raw boards/demos stay gitignored. Finding: the parity fix
produced directed, target-aware search (the agent reasons about reaching the named
observable and inspects the app's serving guard), but no demonstration landed -- all
three spent their per-pair allowance before a differential, and two wrote zero verify
demos (budget consumed in reason/explore). Next levers: allowance/budget split toward
demo-writing, entrypoint discovery for php, and the explore-vs-verify path layout the
py agent flagged.

No demonstration: all three exhausted their per-pair allowance (demonstrations/reason_rounds/run_ceiling) before a differential; pairs 9 and 13 wrote 0 verify demos (budget consumed in reason/explore). Pair 3 (php) hit entrypoint-discovery failures (no CLI entrypoint / runtime entry missing). Cost ~$0.98/search, higher than the $0.2-0.5 estimate."
