[AUTOMATED] fix(brief): take one reference reading before giving up kuna-blocked - #414
Merged
Conversation
…una-blocked `gave_up: kuna-blocked` is the loop's headline metric and round 3 produced it for the first time -- two of five finished testers, in three minutes each. Both gave up without a single `bin/ida-decompile` call, so what we learned is "kuna failed" and nothing at all about whether the task was even possible. That gap is not the testers being lazy. The brief says IDA is a last resort and gives no instruction about the moment a tester actually decides to stop, which is precisely the moment one reference call is worth most. Round 3 is also the FIRST round where the reference arm works at all -- it was broken by two separate bugs for rounds 1 and 2 (#371, #373) -- so no brief had a reason to ask before now. So: one call, on the blocking question only, recorded in `reference_better`. Both outcomes are useful and the brief says so explicitly: - reference SUCCEEDS where kuna failed -> the strongest evidence this pipeline can produce, because it separates "kuna is behind" from "the task is hard". - reference FAILS too -> reclassifies the need from a kuna gap to "nobody does this", which changes what gets built and usually lowers its priority. Scoped deliberately: one call, not permission to work the challenge with the reference. The tester is still giving up. tools/repipe/smoke.sh 111/111.
