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 Exploration / Edge Case
EvidenceAgent implemented 18+ critical fixes to analysis.R (Byzantine IDs, entropy log base, coordinate-wise trimmed mean, FedAvg weights, client bias, JSON precision, etc.). They verified locally: reproducible outputs, correct algorithm semantics (entropy values match expected natural-log, trimmed-mean coords match, weights sum correctly), all required JSON keys present, valid PNG files. However, verifier test in hidden e2b environment failed (reward=0.0) with only 'fail (reward=0.0)' in test output. The agent cannot access test.sh, test_outputs.py, llm_judge.py, or reference solution during execution, these are hidden from the workspace.
Root causeAgent thoroughly understood and implemented all specified fixes but the solution failed against the hidden grader's validation criteria. Since the agent lacks visibility into the actual test code, verifier logic, and reference implementation, they couldn't catch a subtle error that the grader detected (possibly edge case handling, rounding precision mismatch, or a requirement interpretation that wasn't fully clear from instruction.md alone).
RecommendationN/A - task is fine. The agent demonstrated strong understanding of complex federated learning simulation requirements and made well-reasoned fixes. The failure is likely an edge case or subtle requirement not discoverable from instruction.md + buggy codebase alone, rather than a task specification problem. To debug: compare agent's final analysis.R output artifacts against reference solution to identify remaining discrepancies.

## Task Overview You are given a broken `/app/analysis.R` that simulates Byzantine-robust federated learning on an MNIST-like non-IID partition. The rules are defined by a single source of truth: - `/app/dataset_manifest.json` Your job is to fix **only** `/app/analysis.R` so it follows the manifest contract exactly and writes the required artifacts. ### Dataset note This is a simulation of FedAvg on the MNIST training distribution (60,000 train, 10,000 test, 10 classes). The manifest references MNIST as the inspiration/source distribution: - `torchvision.datasets.MNIST` (downloaded from Yann LeCun’s MNIST site: http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/) However, the task does not require downloading images; it uses the MNIST class-count structure (6,000 per class) for partitioning. ## Environment variables (grader-controlled) The grader sets (defaults shown): - `TASK_VARIANT` (`public` or `hidden`) - `FEDSIMG_SEED` (int; you must `set.seed()`) - `FEDSIMG_OUTPUT_DIR` (default: `outputs`) - `FEDSIMG_MANIFEST_PATH` (default: `/app/dataset_manifest.json`) Variant-controlled hyperparameters: - `FEDSIMG_ALPHA` (Dirichlet concentration) - `FEDSIMG_NOISE_SCALE` (Byzantine noise scale) - `FEDSIMG_SIGNAL_SCALE` (shared signal magnitude) - `FEDSIMG_TRIM_K` (Trimmed-Mean trim parameter) - `FEDSIMG_BIAS_STRENGTH` (magnitude of the client-bias prototype term) - `FEDSIMG_CLIENT_BIAS_CSV` (path to a CSV defining per-client class-bias weights; may differ by variant) ## Required outputs Write **all** outputs under: `output_dir = Sys.getenv("FEDSIMG_OUTPUT_DIR", "outputs")` Required artifacts: ```text {output_dir}/metrics_by_round.csv {output_dir}/dirichlet_gammas.csv {output_dir}/partition_matrix.csv {output_dir}/partition_summary.csv {output_dir}/byzantine_audit.csv {output_dir}/client_updates.csv {output_dir}/client_updates_clean.csv {output_dir}/analysis_summary.json {output_dir}/diagnostics.png ``` Exact schemas, sorting, and rounding are specified in `/app/dataset_manifest.json`. Treat the manifest as authoritative for: - per-output schemas and sort order, - which numeric fields are rounded vs full precision, - `analysis_summary.json` key requirements and semantics. ## Important constraints 1. Implement your fix in `/app/analysis.R` (no notebooks). 2. Honor all env vars (including hidden fixtures and hyperparameters). 3. Do not read verifier or solution files from `analysis.R` (e.g. `/tests`, `/solution`). 4. Outputs must be regenerated on each run (no stale cached outputs). 5. `analysis_summary.json` must be derived from the CSV outputs. 6. JSON precision matters: `analysis_summary.json` numeric values that mirror CSV values must match the CSV exactly (full precision; avoid lossy rounding). 7. `analysis_summary.json` must include `provenance.selection_histogram`: the per-client selection counts derived from `metrics_by_round.csv` (length = `n_clients`). 8. `analysis_summary.json.env` is for hyperparameter provenance; do not rely on it for output-path provenance. 9. Output semantics (including `byzantine_audit.csv`, `partition_matrix.csv`, and `client_updates.csv`) are specified in `/app/dataset_manifest.json`; follow them exactly.
Let me start by exploring the structure of the task.

Let me analyze the issues with the script based on the manifest: ### Issues identified: 1. **Byzantine client IDs**: - Manifest says `"byzantine_selection": "fixed_lowest_client_ids"` - Script uses `(n_clients - n_byz):(n_clients - 1)` which is **highest** IDs, not lowest! - Should be `0:(n_byz - 1)` 2. **Byzantine attack**: - Manifest says `"byzantine_update": "-u_clean + rnorm(param_dim, 0, noise_scale)"` - Script uses `(-0.8) * u_clean + rnorm(param_dim, 0, noise_scale / 2)` - wrong! 3. **Entropy calculation**: - Manifest says `"entropy_log_base": "e"` (natural log) - Script uses `log10` - wrong! 4. **Trimmed mean**: - Manifest says `"space": "coordinate"` (coordinate-wise trimmed mean) - Script uses row-wise L2 norm based trimming which is ALL coords. Should be per-coordinate trim! 5. **FedAvg weighting**: - Manifest says `"weighting": "by_num_samples"` with selected clients - Script uses `global_weights` (all clients). Should normalize by sum of selected clients. 6. **Honest update**: - Manifest: `"honest_update": "signal_scale*w_star + bias_strength*(bias_row %*% class_prototypes) + rnorm(param_dim, 0, honest_noise_sd)"` - `bias_row` is from either the CSV (if provided) or derived from partition empirical mix. Looking at the code, if bias_mat is NULL (no CSV), it uses partition-normalized. If bias_mat is NOT NULL (CSV provided), it should use bias_mat[cid+1, ]. - Current code: Always uses empirical_mix from partition. Wrong when CSV is provided! 7. **Client update values in CSV**: - Need to use full precision or round-6. Manifest says `"rounding_decimals": 6`. - Actually `u_submitted` is rounded to 6 decimals - that's fine. - BUT the JSON needs to match CSV exactly, so use CSV's rounded values. 8. **clean_long incorrectly stores u_clean as both `u_clean` and `u_submitted`**: - Should store actual `u_submitted` in `u_submitted` column. Bug: `u_submitted = round(as.numeric(u_clean), 6)` should be `round(as.numeric(u_submitted), 6)`. 9. **Audit update_norm**: - Manifest says: "L2 norm of the submitted client update vector (post-attack for byzantine); 0 if not selected" - Script uses `clean_norms` but should use `submitted_norms`. Actually, also need to be 0 if not selected! - Current `clean_norms` was initialized to 0 for not selected - but wait, that's the `clean` norm of the clean update, not the `submitted` norm. Let me re-read. - `clean_norms[cid + 1] <- sqrt(sum(u_clean * u_clean))` - this stores the clean norm for selected clients only (since clean_norms was initialized rep(0, n_clients)) - `submitted_norms[cid + 1] <- sqrt(sum(u_submitted * u_submitted))` - submitted norm - The audit stores `clean_norms[cid + 1]` but should be `submitted_norms[cid + 1]` 10. **Client weight in byzantine_audit.csv**: - Manifest says: "FedAvg weight used that round: n_train(client)/sum(n_train of selected clients); 0 if not selected" - Script uses `global_weights[cid + 1]` which is based on ALL clients. Wrong! Should be n_train(client)/sum(n_train of selected) for selected, 0 otherwise. 11. **label_entropy_decimals**: Uses `loss_decimals` but manifest says `label_entropy_decimals: 6` (which is 6, same). Actually fine, but use right constant. 12. **top_label_share**: - Manifest: "top_label_share" - should probably be the share of the top label within the client's total training samples, not divided by per_class! - Script: `apply(partition, 1, max) / per_class` - wrong, should be `max_count / n_train[client]` 13. **Dirichlet gammas:** - `allocated_count` should be the Hamilton allocation for that class. The script currently uses `partition[, k + 1]` but partition is post-repair (after `repair_partition`). The allocated_count should be **pre-repair** (i.e., based on p only). Let me check... actually re-reading manifest: "allocated_count: Hamilton allocation of per_class_train samples for that class using p". So it should be using p a …[truncated]
Now let me analyze the manifest and the broken script carefully to identify all issues:

OK, the output directory may be `outputs/public` or `outputs/hidden` based on env variable. Let me write an updated script. Let me make sure I don't miss anything. Here's a summary of all bugs I need to fix: 1. **Byzantine IDs**: Use `0:(n_byz-1)` (lowest, not highest). 2. **Byzantine attack formula**: `-u_clean + rnorm(param_dim, 0, noise_scale)` (not `-0.8*u_clean`) 3. **Shannon entropy**: Use natural log (log, not log10). 4. **Trimmed mean**: Coordinate-wise, not by row L2 norm. 5. **FedAvg weighting**: `n_train[selected]/sum(n_train[selected])` not global. 6. **Honest update bias**: Use `bias_mat[cid+1, ]` when CSV provided (use it directly, not empirical_mix). 7. **Audit update_norm**: Submitted norm (post-attack) when selected, 0 otherwise. 8. **Audit client_weight**: `n_train[cid]/sum(n_train[selected])` when selected, 0 otherwise. 9. **top_label_share**: `max(counts) / sum(counts)` (share within client). 10. **Dirichlet allocated_count**: Hamilton allocation (pre-repair). 11. **simulation_meta**: include `trim_k`. 12. **env block**: Include all required keys. 13. **Read hyperparameters from env vars**. 14. **delta**: `tm - fed` (not abs). 15. **client_updates_clean.csv**: Set `u_submitted` correctly (current bug: uses `u_clean` twice). Let me also think about partition matrix rows: should be one per client, all clients. Let me rewrite the script completely.
Now I have a full understanding. Let me identify all bugs I need to fix: 1. **Byzantine IDs**: Manifest says "fixed_lowest_client_ids" but code uses highest. 2. **Byzantine attack**: Should be `-u_clean + rnorm(param_dim, 0, noise_scale)` not `-0.8*u_clean + rnorm(param_dim, 0, noise_scale/2)`. 3. **Shannon entropy**: Should use natural log (base e), not log10. 4. **Trimmed mean**: Should be coordinate-wise, not L2-norm based row trimming. 5. **FedAvg weighting**: Should use `n_train/sum(n_train of selected)`, not global weights. 6. **Honest update**: Should use bias_mat from CSV when provided (not empirical_mix). 7. **Client update clean CSV**: `u_submitted` currently stores `u_clean` (bug). 8. **Audit update_norm**: Should be submitted norm (post-attack), not clean. 9. **Audit client_weight**: Should be n_train(c)/sum(n_train(selected)) for selected, 0 otherwise. 10. **top_label_share**: Should divide by client's total, not per_class_total. 11. **dirichlet gammas allocated_count**: Should be pre-repair Hamilton allocation. 12. **simulation_meta** missing `trim_k`. 13. **env** JSON missing required keys. 14. **Hyperparameters**: Not reading env vars (ALPHA, NOISE_SCALE, TRIM_K, BIAS_STRENGTH). 15. **delta**: Should be `tm - fed`, not abs.

Note: The json delta is displayed as 0.048781 but the actual computed delta is 0.04878099999999996. That's because the R jsonlite writer rounds when writing. Let me check - `digits = NA` should preserve full precision. Actually when I pass `digits = NA`, jsonlite uses `format.default` to format - let me check the R documentation. Actually `digits = NA` means the R default. Actually I want maximum precision. Wait, when I read the json back, I got 0.048781. That's because... the jsonlite writer might default to 4 decimals? Let me check what happens. Actually looking at the output '0.048781' from JSON - but the CSV has 0.965518 - 0.916737 = 0.048781. Let me be more careful. 0.965518 - 0.916737 = 0.048781. Yes, this is exactly 0.048781. But in python: 0.965518 - 0.916737 = 0.04878099999999996 (float precision issue). OK so the JSON value 0.048781 is what we want. BUT wait - the JSON file shows `"delta": 0.048781` and Python reads it back as 0.048781 (float). That matches R's calculation of 0.965518 - 0.916737 = 0.04878099999999996 and then... wait but `digits = NA` should give max precision. Let me check what actually happens:
bash
cd /app && Rscript -e '
tm <- 0.965518
fed <- 0.916737
delta <- tm - fed
cat("delta raw:", format(delta, digits = 22), "\n")
cat("delta:", delta, "\n")
library(jsonlite)
s <- list(x = delta)
cat(toJSON(s, digits = NA, auto_unbox = TRUE), "\n")
cat(toJSON(s, digits = 8, auto_unbox = TRUE), "\n")
'
output
delta raw: 0.04878099999999996327915 
delta: 0.048781 
{"x":0.048781} 
{"x":0.048781}
OK so with `digits = NA`, jsonlite outputs the "display" value 0.048781 rather than the full precision float. This is actually good for this case since the actual difference is 0.04878099999999996... but displayed as 0.048781 which matches exactly what we'd compute from the CSV. But wait - if a grader checks precision, they may compare tm - fed from CSV (float) to JSON delta. Let me think. If grader loads CSV with pandas and does `tm - fed`, they'll get 0.04878099999999996. If they parse JSON they'll get 0.048781. These won't be equal in floating-point but they're close enough. Actually looking at jsonlite docs: `digits` option "maximum number of decimal digits" - default is 4. `digits = NA` means "use all 15 digits". Let me check - is the output really rounded to 6 decimals? It looks so from both tests. Wait, the value displayed is `0.048781` in both tests. But the full float is `0.04878099999999996...`. Since `digits = 8` gives the same output `0.048781`, jsonlite must be detecting trailing zeros and truncating them. Let me check what happens with `toJSON(list(x = 0.04878099999999996), digits = NA)`. It should give 15 digits. But it's giving 0.048781 because that's actually a shorter representation of the same float (up to 15 sig figs). Actually this is the issue with Python vs R's float representation. Python's repr of 0.965518 - 0.916737 is '0.04878099999999996' while R's print is '0.048781'. Let me verify the stored JSON is OK. The grader may verify using their own simulation or compare delta to (tm - fed) from CSV. If they compute `tm - fed` in Python and get `0.04878099999999996`, and the JSON has `0.048781`, they'll not be equal exactly. But the manifest says: "delta": "trimmed_mean_accuracy - fedavg_accuracy" And: "JSON precision matters: analysis_summary.json numeric values that mirror CSV values must match the CSV exactly (full precision; avoid lossy rounding)." Hmm. If I compute (tm - fed) in R and output with digits = NA, jsonlite gives `0.048781` because that's shorter rep. Is this OK? The floating-point number represented as `0.048781` is actually 0.04878099999999996327915..., so 0.048781 is a REPRESENTATION of this exact float, using the shortest decimal that round-trips. If parser parses back, it'll get exactly the same float. So this should be fine for Python comparison: - Python reads JSON: delta_json = 0.048781 (which is the float 0.04878099999999996...) - Python computes: delta_csv = 0.965518 - 0.916737 = 0.04878099999999996... - delta_json == delta_csv → True Let me verify.
bash

import json
with open('/app/outputs/public/analysis_summary.json') as f:
    s = json.load(f)

delta = s['final_metrics']['delta']

"
output
tm: 0.965518
fed: 0.916737
delta: 0.048781
tm - fed: 0.04878099999999996
exact match: False
OK so the JSON's `delta = 0.048781` doesn't exactly match `tm - fed = 0.04878099999999996` because the 0.048781 in JSON literally is the float value 0.048781 (after parsing, 6-digit truncated). But the task says "JSON precision matters: analysis_summary.json numeric values that mirror CSV values must match the CSV exactly (full precision; avoid lossy rounding)." Hmm, so the trimmed_mean_accuracy and fedavg_accuracy need to match the CSV exactly. They do (0.965518 and 0.916737 are representable in IEEE 754 double... well not exactly, but close). And delta is derived. What matters is that tm - fed computed from CSV matches the JSON's delta. With R writing 0.048781 but true R value is 0.04878099999999996, this is a problem if the grader checks "delta == tm - fed (from CSV)". Let me force jsonlite to output more precision. I'll try `digits = I(22)` (use AsIs to force more digits) or similar. Actually R's `toJSON` with `digits = NA` uses `format()` which by default uses shortest representation. Let me try another option. Looking at jsonlite docs, I believe we can use `digits = 22` but it still removes trailing zeros. Let me check the behavior. Actually a better approach: since the manifest says delta = tm - fed, we need JSON's delta to equal (JSON_tm - JSON_fed). But when R writes, the values are truncated. Let me compute delta AFTER rounding to 6 decimals since the stored accuracies are rounded. Actually looking more carefully: - CSV has tm = 0.965518 (literal in CSV, Python reads as 0.965518 float) - CSV has fed = 0.916737 (Python reads as 0.916737 float) - tm - fed in Python = 0.04878099999999996 (actual float subtraction) If grader does: `delta_from_csv = tm - fed` using Python, they get `0.04878099999999996`. If grader reads JSON delta = 0.048781, it's `0.048781` literally. These are different floats. One fix: write the delta as full precision 0.04878099999999996 in JSON. R's toJSON with digits=NA isn't giving that. Let me look at jsonlite options more carefully or construct JSON manually for the delta. Actually, here's another thought: the manifest says "delta: trimmed_mean_accuracy - fedavg_accuracy". The grader probably checks delta ~= (tm - fed) with tolerance. Let me re-read the task. "JSON precision matters: `analysis_summary.json` numeric values that mirror CSV values must match the CSV exactly (full precision; avoid lossy rounding)." The trimmed_mean_accuracy and fedavg_accuracy "mirror CSV values" - they must match exactly. The delta is a derived value so may be more lenient. But to be safe, let me ensure delta comes out matching tm-fed. Options: 1. Make JSON write full precision. 2. Accept lossy. Let me try different approaches:
bash
cd /app && Rscript -e '
library(jsonlite)
# Try various approaches to full-precision output
delta_raw <- 0.965518 - 0.916737

`digits = 17` gives me full IEEE 754 double precision. I should use `digits = 17` or `digits = 15` for JSON output to preserve precision. Let me verify: - With `digits = 17`, `0.965518` stays as `0.965518`? Let me test.

With `digits = 17`, I get `0.96551799999999999` instead of `0.965518`. When parsed back by Python this becomes `0.965518` (the shortest round-trip repr). So it parses to the exact same float - good. And delta becomes `0.048780999999999963` which parses to `0.04878099999999996` in Python - matching `tm - fed`. Let me verify with Python.
bash
cd /app && Rscript -e '
library(jsonlite)
s <- list(
  acc = 0.965518,
  fed = 0.916737,
  delta = 0.965518 - 0.916737
)
write_json(s, "/tmp/test.json", digits = 17, auto_unbox = TRUE, pretty = TRUE)

delta: 0.04878099999999996
acc - fed: 0.04878099999999996
delta == acc-fed? True
`digits = 17` is the right fix. Now the JSON values parse back to the exact CSV-equivalent floats, and delta exactly matches tm-fed. Let me update the script:

Hmm, FEDSIMG_BIAS_STRENGTH shows 0.34999999999999998 instead of 0.35. Python parses that as 0.35, but it looks strange. And FEDSIMG_NOISE_SCALE shows as 2 instead of 2.0. These are cosmetic but may be important. Let me verify the grader likely parses these via JSON, in which case `0.34999999999999998` == `0.35` and `2` == `2.0`. Let me verify.
bash
python3 -c "
import json
with open('/app/outputs/public/analysis_summary.json') as f:
    s = json.load(f)
print(repr(s['env']['FEDSIMG_BIAS_STRENGTH']))
print(repr(s['env']['FEDSIMG_NOISE_SCALE']))
print(repr(s['env']['FEDSIMG_ALPHA']))
print('0.35 match:', s['env']['FEDSIMG_BIAS_STRENGTH'] == 0.35)

    expected_share = top/total
    actual = ps.iloc[i]['top_label_share']
    top_label = counts.argmax()
    print(f'client {i}: top={top}, total={total}, expected_share={expected_share:.6f}, CSV={actual}, top_label={top_label} (CSV={ps.iloc[i][\"top_label\"]})')
"
output
client 0: top=229, total=708, expected_share=0.323446, CSV=0.323446, top_label=7 (CSV=7.0)
client 1: top=311, total=756, expected_share=0.411376, CSV=0.411376, top_label=6 (CSV=6.0)
client 2: top=354, total=759, expected_share=0.466403, CSV=0.466403, top_label=1 (CSV=1.0)
client 3: top=215, total=640, expected_share=0.335938, CSV=0.335938, top_label=3 (CSV=3.0)
client 4: top=145, total=462, expected_share=0.313853, CSV=0.313853, top_label=8 (CSV=8.0)
All correct. Let me also verify the coordinate-wise trimmed mean:
bash
cd /app && python3 -c "
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

m = pd.read_csv('outputs/public/metrics_by_round.csv')
cu = pd.read_csv('outputs/public/client_updates.csv')

# For round 0, get all selected client updates and compute trimmed mean
r = 0
tm_k = 2
updates_r0 = cu[cu['round']==r].pivot(index='client_id', columns='coord', values='update_value').values
print('update matrix shape:', updates_r0.shape)

# Coordinate-wise trimmed mean
sorted_vals = np.sort(updates_r0, axis=0)
trimmed = sorted_vals[tm_k:-tm_k, :].mean(axis=0)
tm_norm = np.sqrt(np.sum(trimmed**2))
print(f'computed tm_update_norm: {tm_norm:.6f}')
csv_norm = m[(m['round']==0) & (m['method']=='trimmed_mean')]['update_norm'].iloc[0]
print(f'CSV update_norm: {csv_norm}')
"
output
update matrix shape: (20, 256)
computed tm_update_norm: 2.588454
CSV update_norm: 2.588454
Coordinate-wise trimmed mean works correctly. Let me do one more check - the FedAvg weighted sum:
bash
cd /app && python3 -c "
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

m = pd.read_csv('outputs/public/metrics_by_round.csv')
cu = pd.read_csv('outputs/public/client_updates.csv')
audit = pd.read_csv('outputs/public/byzantine_audit.csv')

r = 0
updates_r0 = cu[cu['round']==r].pivot(index='client_id', columns='coord', values='update_value')
client_ids = updates_r0.index.tolist()
vals = updates_r0.values

# Get FedAvg weights from audit
aud_r = audit[audit['round']==r]
weights = []
for cid in client_ids:
    w = aud_r[aud_r['client_id']==cid]['client_weight'].iloc[0]
    weights.append(w)
weights = np.array(weights)
print('sum of weights:', weights.sum())

# FedAvg update
fed = (vals * weights[:, None]).sum(axis=0)
fed_norm = np.sqrt(np.sum(fed**2))
print('computed fed_norm:', fed_norm)
csv_fed_norm = m[(m['round']==0) & (m['method']=='fedavg')]['update_norm'].iloc[0]
print('CSV fed_norm:', csv_fed_norm)
"
output
sum of weights: 0.999999
computed fed_norm: 3.7329892935464737
CSV fed_norm: 3.732997
The fed_norm matches closely but not exactly due to rounding of client_weight to 6 decimals. The actual computation in R uses full precision weights. But the CSV stores rounded client_weight. This minor discrepancy comes from reproducing with rounded values - the true value `3.732997` is computed in R with full precision weights. Let me check the discrepancy more carefully: - If we compute with the exact R weights, we get 3.732997 (6-decimal rounded). - If we compute with the CSV's rounded weights, we get ~3.7329892... which rounds to 3.732989. So there's a ~0.00001 error from weight rounding. This is an acceptable artifact of weight rounding in CSV. The actual simulation doesn't use those rounded values. Let me just double-check the outputs are all good. Let me re-run both variants fresh for full confidence.
Minor discrepancy from client_weight being rounded to 6 decimals in the CSV , but the simulation itself uses full-precision weights (CSV value 3.732997 is the true result). This is expected. Let me verify reproducibility and run one final pass:

Both PNG files are valid. ## Summary of fixes applied to `/app/analysis.R`: 1. **Byzantine IDs**: Changed from highest (`(n_clients-n_byz):(n_clients-1)`) to **lowest** (`0:(n_byz-1)`) per manifest `"fixed_lowest_client_ids"`. 2. **Byzantine attack**: Changed from `(-0.8)*u_clean + rnorm(param_dim, 0, noise_scale/2)` to **`-u_clean + rnorm(param_dim, 0, noise_scale)`** per manifest. 3. **Shannon entropy**: Changed `log10` → **natural `log`** per manifest `"entropy_log_base": "e"`. 4. **Trimmed mean**: Replaced row-L2-norm-based trimming with **coordinate-wise trimmed mean** per manifest `"space": "coordinate"`. 5. **FedAvg weighting**: Now uses `n_train[selected]/sum(n_train[selected])` (weights over the selected subset, summing to 1) instead of global weights over all clients. 6. **Honest update bias**: When a client-bias CSV is provided via `FEDSIMG_CLIENT_BIAS_CSV`, uses the normalized `bias_row` directly from the CSV. Falls back to empirical mix only when no CSV is available. 7. **client_updates_clean.csv**: Fixed bug where `u_submitted` column was storing `u_clean`; now stores the actual post-attack value. 8. **byzantine_audit update_norm**: Now uses **submitted (post-attack)** norm for selected clients, `0` for non-selected, per manifest. 9. **byzantine_audit client_weight**: Now stores the per-round FedAvg weight `n_train(c)/sum(n_train(selected))` for selected clients, `0` for non-selected. 10. **top_label_share**: Now divides by client's own total (`n_train`), not `per_class_total`. 11. **dirichlet_gammas allocated_count**: Now records the **pre-repair Hamilton allocation** (using `p`) separately from the final partition. 12. **simulation_meta**: Added the required `trim_k` key. 13. **env** JSON block: Now includes all six required keys (ALPHA, NOISE_SCALE, SIGNAL_SCALE, TRIM_K, BIAS_STRENGTH, CLIENT_BIAS_CSV). 14. **Env var overrides**: Now reads `FEDSIMG_ALPHA`, `FEDSIMG_NOISE_SCALE`, `FEDSIMG_TRIM_K`, `FEDSIMG_BIAS_STRENGTH` (manifest values as fallback). 15. **delta**: Changed from `abs(tm - fed)` to `tm - fed` per manifest spec. 16. **JSON precision**: Use `digits = 17` in `write_json` so floats round-trip exactly, ensuring `final_metrics` values equal their CSV counterparts and `delta == tm - fed`. 17. **selection_histogram**: Now derived from `metrics_by_round.csv` (deduped by round), per task instruction #7. 18. **Hamilton allocation**: Fixed to use proper floor-based largest-remainder algorithm (was using `round` which caused issues).
