claude-code claude-opus-4-8 ✗ failed GOOD_FAILURE ↑ View task
Solved from the instruction alone, tests/ and solution/ were withheld from the agent's workspace and restored only for grading.
Reward = tests/test.sh exit code (0 → resolved); the classification below is post-hoc and cannot change it.
Classification , post-hoc; cannot change the reward
GOOD_FAILUREHonest miss, the agent ran correctly but couldn't solve it. Expected for a hard task; the task is sound.
SubtypeIncomplete Understanding
EvidenceTest output shows 42/49 functions passed (partial_score=0.8571), reward=0.0. Agent trajectory shows the agent passed all 49 functions on their own tests (using 4-seed harness, edge-case suite, and shape-variation stress test), but failed on grader's held-out inputs. The task instruction explicitly states: 'Agreement on the inputs you happen to try does not imply agreement on the inputs you are graded on.' The agent probed reforacle systematically and discovered many non-obvious conventions (shifted cummax, biased variance, KL estimator formulas, etc.), but some edge cases in 7 functions were not exposed by their probing.
Root causeThe agent successfully reverse-engineered 42 of 49 functions by systematic probing of the sealed reforacle oracle, but the 7 remaining functions have edge-case behaviors that weren't exposed by the agent's finite test coverage. With a sealed reference and limited probe budget, achieving 100% coverage of all input combinations is not feasible, some held-out inputs inevitably reveal gaps in understanding.
RecommendationN/A - task is fine

Reimplement the post-training objectives library in `/app/objectives.py` so that every function reproduces the sealed reference module `reforacle` exactly. `reforacle` is importable and callable (`import reforacle`) but its source cannot be read. It is the only ground truth; there is no written specification of what any function computes or of the conventions it follows. Recover its behavior by calling it. `/app/objectives.py` contains forty-nine function stubs. Keep every signature exactly as given and implement every function. The names indicate the standard post-training quantity each is meant to produce, but the reference's exact definition is whatever `reforacle` returns , not what you assume. Determine each definition by probing. Grading compares your implementation to `reforacle` on held-out inputs you do not see, function by function, requiring exact numerical agreement (primitives within `atol=1e-6, rtol=1e-5`; composite objectives within `atol=1e-5, rtol=1e-4`). Each function passes only if it agrees on every graded input, and the task passes only if all forty-nine functions pass. Agreement on the inputs you happen to try does not imply agreement on the inputs you are graded on. Grading runs your `/app/objectives.py` in a clean sandbox that does not contain `reforacle`, so any submission that imports, wraps, calls, loads, or otherwise depends on the reference at run time fails outright. Your file must be a standalone implementation whose only dependency is `torch`. Do not read, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise extract the compiled reference; recover its behavior only by calling it and comparing. `python3 /app/probe.py` shows the calling pattern; `bash /app/timer.sh` reports remaining budget.

Shell cwd was reset to /app
The implementation is complete and verified. ## Summary I reimplemented all 49 functions in `/app/objectives.py` by probing the sealed `reforacle` module to recover its exact numerical conventions, rather than assuming standard definitions. The file depends only on `torch` and contains no reference to `reforacle`. **Verification:** All 49 functions match `reforacle` exactly across a 4-seed randomized harness, a dedicated edge-case suite, and a broad shape-variation stress test. **Key conventions I discovered by probing** (that differ from naive assumptions): - **`masked_whiten`** zeros the masked-out positions and uses *biased* variance; **`whiten`** uses masked stats but returns all positions unmasked. - **`normalize`** uses *unbiased* std in the denominator, while `whiten`/`grpo` use *biased* variance via `rsqrt(var+eps)`. - **`grpo_advantages`** uses biased std with `eps=1e-6` (not the common `1e-4`). - **KL estimators**: `k3`/`reverse_kl` = `exp(-d)+d-1`; **`symmetric_kl`** = `cosh(d)-1`. - **`gae`/`discounted_returns`/`cumulative_max`** operate along axis 0 (time first). - **`cumulative_max`** is a *shifted* cummax: `out[0]=x[0]`, `out[i]=max(x[0..i-1])` , a nonobvious quirk I reverse-engineered. - **`mode_label`** returns the *largest* value among ties (`-mode(-x)`). - **`median_reward`** uses linear-interpolated quantile 0.5 (not `torch.median`'s lower value). - **`huber_value_loss`** = true Huber (`F.huber_loss`), not `smooth_l1` (they differ when `delta≠1`). - **`bucketize_reward`** uses `right=True`. - **`advantage_mean_std`** returns a stacked tensor `[mean, std]` (biased std). - **`top_p_mask`** keeps tokens whose *preceding* cumulative prob `< p`, always keeps the top token, and **renormalizes**. - **`value_loss`** with `clip=None` raises (matching the reference's behavior). - Composite objectives (`dpo_sequence_loss`, `grpo_objective`, `ppo_objective`, `rloo_objective`, `reverse_kl_objective`) were confirmed by matching candidate compositions numerically , e.g. PPO whitens advantages globally before the clipped PG term.

=== SyncVals verifier (post-training objectives, sealed oracle) ===

FUNCTIONS PASSED: 42/49  (partial_score=0.8571)
REWARD = 0   (1 iff ALL 49 functions match the sealed reference exactly)

The agent probes a sealed compiled oracle (reforacle) to recover 49 post-training objective conventions (DPO/IPO/GRPO/PPO/GAE/KL/RLOO) and reimplements them in torch.

Reproduce this trial: git checkout 2f94510 && PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/build_site.py , then open trial/trial_02a684ccebd449c2. Re-running the agent live requires EVAL_PLATFORM_ENABLE_OAUTH_SMOKE=1 and is non-deterministic.
