adlee-was-taken 35a593942d fix(evals,seed): unanswerable diff_checking question + two seed-script defects
Three defects, all found by actually running the local-dispatch runbook for
the first time. None could have been caught offline.

1. diff_checking was logically unanswerable (evals/tasks.yaml)

   All four safe/buggy pairs are exact MIRROR IMAGES: BEFORE_safe ==
   AFTER_buggy and AFTER_safe == BEFORE_buggy. The question asked "Does the
   AFTER version change behaviour for any valid input?" -- which is SYMMETRIC:
   if A->B changes behaviour, so does B->A. But the pairs carry OPPOSITE
   labels, so four of the eight tasks were wrong no matter what any model
   answered.

   Measured before the fix: the maximum achievable score was 0.50, and a model
   that blindly answered "no" also scored 0.50. deepseek-v4-flash, which scores
   1.00 on all three coding categories, got 0.25 -- punished for engaging with
   the question. After the fix it scores 0.625 and nemotron-mini:4b's true
   profile is visible (0/4 bugs detected).

   The question is now antisymmetric ("does the AFTER version introduce a bug
   that the BEFORE version does not have?"), which is what opposite labels
   require. tests/test_task_set.py grows a regression test that pins the
   invariant; it was verified to FAIL against the old phrasing, not merely to
   pass against the new one.

   This is the fifth harness bug in this project that scored the rig rather
   than the model.

2. seed_local_dispatch_energy closed its DB connection mid-run

   main() closed conn right after reading the catalog, then used it four more
   times. Every run died on the first sample with "Cannot operate on a closed
   database". The step sits behind the user-tariff gate, so it had never been
   executed and the defect shipped unseen.

3. seed_local_dispatch_energy read its measurement one line too early

   ctx.avg_power_watts was read INSIDE the `with measure(...)` block, but
   measure finalizes on __exit__ (that is where the sampler thread is joined
   and the average computed). It was therefore always None, and the script
   wrote cost_per_1m_prompt = cost_per_1m_completion = $0.0000 -- pricing local
   compute as FREE, the exact failure this feature exists to prevent.

   With both fixed, the measured rates on a Quadro RTX 6000 at $0.159/kWh are
   $0.0054/1M prompt and $0.2286/1M completion (r^2 = 0.9985).

# Self-eval task set. One score per task per model; scores accumulate into
# proficiency.self_eval_score and self_eval_samples.
#
# Four kinds, chosen so each category is scored the most objective way it
# admits:
#
# code model writes Python; each check is eval'd against it in a
# subprocess. Score = fraction of checks passing. Fully objective.
# exact model replies with one value; compared after normalization.
# tool model is given a tool schema; scored on whether it calls the right
# tool with the right arguments. Structural, no judge needed.
# judge a strong model scores the output against a rubric. Only for the
# prose categories, where nothing checkable exists.
#
# DIFFICULTY: the happy path is not worth testing. Every current model passes
# "reverse a list", and a category where everyone scores 1.00 discriminates no
# better than the constant 0.5 it replaced. Each task here carries at least one
# edge case a plausible-looking solution gets wrong: touching vs overlapping
# intervals, present-but-falsy values, late-binding closures, greedy regexes,
# empty input, or a trap in the arithmetic.
#
# Every `code` task is validated against a reference solution by
# tests/test_task_set.py. A check my own reference cannot pass is a broken
# check, and would score the task set rather than the model — which has
# already happened here once.
#
# Keep prompts tight and self-contained. An ambiguous task scores the prompt.

Write a Python function `merge_intervals(intervals)` where intervals is
a list of [start, end] lists. Merge all overlapping intervals and return
a new list of [start, end] lists sorted by start. Intervals that merely
touch (one ends exactly where the next begins) must be merged. Input may
be unsorted and may contain intervals fully nested inside others.

Write a Python function `word_wrap(text, width)` returning a list of
lines. Split on whitespace and pack as many words per line as fit within
`width` characters, joining words with a single space. Never split a
word: a word longer than `width` gets its own line. Runs of whitespace
collapse. Empty or whitespace-only text returns an empty list.

Refactor this affine cipher to remove the duplicated cipher math. The
same letter-to-index transform and the coprime guard appear inline in
both encode and decode; behavioural duplicates like these are where bugs
hide. Consolidate them. Behaviour must be preserved EXACTLY, including
the ValueError raised when `a` is not coprime with the alphabet size and
the 5-character block grouping in encode. Keep the module functions
`encode(plain, a, b)` and `decode(ciphered, a, b)`. Reply with ONLY the
rewritten module — no explanation, no fences.

This affine cipher fails to reject keys where `a` is not coprime with the
alphabet size. It should raise ValueError('a and m must be coprime.')
when `a` shares a factor with 26, but it lets those keys through. Fix
ONLY the one subtle bug in the coprime guard; do not change anything
else, and do not change the signatures of `encode(plain, a, b)` or
`decode(ciphered, a, b)`. Reply with ONLY the corrected module — no
explanation, no fences.

Summarize in at most two sentences:
At 02:14 UTC the checkout service began returning 502s. The on-call
engineer found the connection pool exhausted. A deploy at 01:58 had
lowered the pool size from 50 to 5 through a bad template variable. The
deploy was rolled back at 02:31 and errors stopped by 02:34. Roughly
12,000 requests failed. No data was lost.
rubric: |
Score 0-1. Award 1.0 ONLY if it names the ROOT CAUSE specifically (a bad
template variable in the 01:58 deploy cut the pool from 50 to 5), the
resolution (rollback), and the impact (~12k failed requests, no data
lost), in two sentences or fewer. Deduct 0.4 for saying only "the
connection pool was exhausted" — that is the symptom, not the cause.
Deduct 0.5 for any invented detail.
- id: summarize_buried_lede
category: summarization
kind: judge
prompt: |
Summarize the single most important point in one sentence:
The migration ran for six hours. Throughput averaged 4,200 rows per
second, peaking at 6,100. The team used a rolling window of 5,000 rows
per batch. Disk usage on the replica grew steadily. Partway through, a
unique constraint on the accounts table silently rejected 812 rows,
which were logged to a dead-letter file that nobody has yet processed.
CPU stayed under 40% throughout.
rubric: |
Score 0-1. The important point is that 812 rows were silently dropped and
remain unprocessed — everything else is routine telemetry. Award 1.0 only
if the summary leads with that. Score 0.3 or below if it summarizes the
throughput statistics instead. Must be one sentence.

rubric: |
Score 0-1 on accuracy and fluency. Award 1.0 only for correct technical
register on "connection pool", "deploy" and "roll back", AND natural
French rather than a word-for-word calque. Deduct 0.3 per omission or
untranslated fragment.

Reply with ONLY the translation.
"I'm not totally sure this is the right call, but I'd lean towards
shipping it and seeing what breaks — we can always roll it back."
rubric: |
Score 0-1. Award 1.0 only if the HEDGING is preserved ("not totally
sure", "I'd lean towards") rather than flattened into a confident
statement, the register stays informal, and "roll it back" is rendered
idiomatically. Deduct 0.4 if the hedging is lost.

You are reviewing a refactor. BEFORE: import re
def extract_tags(text):
return re.findall(r"<([^<>]+)>", text)
PROPOSED AFTER: import re
def extract_tags(text):
return re.findall(r"<(.+)>", text)
Does the AFTER version introduce a bug that the BEFORE version does not
have? Reply with only YES or NO.

Summarise the most important non-obvious gotcha in this code:
iteration:
retries: 0
backoff: 2.0
cache:
enabled: true
max_size: 128
(config/config.yaml)
What does the retries: 0 value signal, and what happens to cache when
its subkeys are missing? How does a function that uses key-in-d checks
differ from one that uses d-get-default in each case?
rubric: |
Score 0-1. Award 1.0 ONLY if it states that retries: 0 is an
intentional override meaning "do not retry" — a present-but-falsy value
is NOT treated as unset — and that a missing cache subkey under a
present-but-empty cache falls back to the function's defaults. Deduct
0.4 for saying "retries: 0 means unset."
- id: summarize_dedupe_module
category: file_summarization

prompt: |
Summarise the most important non-obvious gotcha in this code:
def dedupe(items, key=None):
seen = set()
out = []
for item in items:
k = key(item) if key else item
if k in seen:
continue
seen.add(k)
out.append(item)
return out
(from tests/test_task_set.py)
What two guarantees does this function provide beyond what set() offers?
rubric: |
Score 0-1. Award 1.0 ONLY if it states that ORDER IS PRESERVED and that
the FIRST occurrence is kept, and notes that elements (or their keys via
key=) must be hashable. Deduct 0.4 for omitting order preservation —
that is the whole reason to use this over set(). Deduct 0.3 for omitting
the hashability requirement.
- id: summarize_retry_raiser
category: file_summarization

prompt: |
Summarise the most important non-obvious gotcha in this code:
def retry(fn, attempts=3, backoff=2.0):
delay = 1.0
for i in range(attempts):
try:
return fn()
except Exception:
if i == attempts - 1:
raise
time.sleep(delay)
delay *= backoff
(from src/eval_proficiency.py)
What happens to the exception when all attempts are exhausted? How does
the delay between retries change?
rubric: |
Score 0-1. Award 1.0 ONLY if it states the last exception IS re-raised
(not swallowed) and that the delay multiplies by backoff between
attempts. Deduct 0.4 for saying the exception is caught and discarded
or for omitting the backoff multiplication.
- id: summarize_single_use_iterator
category: file_summarization
kind: judge
prompt: |
Summarise the most important non-obvious gotcha in this code:
gen = (x * 2 for x in range(5))
for _ in range(3):
for v in gen:
print(v)
print(list(gen))
(from dispatcher.py)
What is printed by the inner loop, and what does list(gen) produce
afterwards?
rubric: |
Score 0-1. Award 1.0 ONLY if it states the second outer-iteration
(or the list(gen) call) yields NOTHING because the generator is
exhausted after the first inner loop. This is the core gotcha: you
cannot re-iterate an exhausted generator.
- id: summarize_naive_datetime
category: file_summarization
kind: judge
prompt: |
Summarise the most important non-obvious gotcha in this code:
import datetime
start = datetime.datetime(2026, 3, 8, 2, 0)
end = start + datetime.timedelta(hours=48)
# start is timezone-naive
(from a schedule module in the router codebase)
What is wrong with performing arithmetic on a naive datetime across a
clock-change boundary?
rubric: |
Score 0-1. Award 1.0 ONLY if it states that naive datetimes have NO
timezone/DST handling — timedelta arithmetic is unreliable across a
clock change (spring-forward or fall-back) because the wall-clock
hours may not correspond to real hours. Deduct 0.4 for not mentioning
DST/timezone specifically.
- id: summarize_sqlite_fk_pragma
category: file_summarization

prompt: |
Summarise the most important non-obvious gotcha in this code:
import sqlite3
conn = sqlite3.connect("mydb.db")
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute(
"INSERT INTO children (parent_id, name) VALUES (1, 'Alice')")
(from a script in the router codebase)
Assuming a children table has a foreign-key constraint to a parents
table, will this insert fail if parent_id=1 doesn't exist? Why or why
not?
rubric: |
Score 0-1. Award 1.0 ONLY if it states that foreign keys are OFF by
default in SQLite unless a PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON has been executed
on THAT connection (per-connection). Deduct 0.4 for assuming SQLite
enforces FKs automatically.
