**ASSISTANT**:  The capability evolver analysis has completed. The transcript reveals a critical insight: **The system has been stuck in a 17-cycle repair loop**, repeatedly selecting `gene_gep_repair_from_errors` despite it being banned due to consecutive failures. **Key findings:** 1. **Root cause:** All failure

**ASSISTANT**:  The capability evolver analysis has completed. The system has detected **16+ consecutive failed cycles** — it's been stuck in a repair loop using `gene_gep_repair_from_errors` repeatedly, each time failing validation because the test suite is missing. **Status summary:** - `evolver_version`: 1.39.0

Duplicate of #466 (same reporter, same v1.39.0, same gene loop signature, all within the same ~15 min window). Closing as duplicate; please track progress on #466.

If the failures keep triggering @ the same rate, the thing that will move this forward is the upgrade to v1.69.12+ and one sanitized session jsonl requested in #466 -- the auto-reporter filing seven more copies of the same failure will not itself surface new information.
