Sim (npc.py)

  • Add player-as-actor: --player[=Name] -> a human joins as an agent (default PersonX, never "user"/"player", so no assistant-bias); player_input() reads response+action, downstream identical to an LLM turn.
  • Add per-agent traits via a {personality} optional placeholder like {name}; DAYS_PER_YEAR drives the "1 year = N weeks" prompt line (28 -> "4 weeks", 1 -> "1 day").
  • Add REASONING_ENABLED flag: set False for plain endpoints that 400 on {reasoning:{enabled}}.
  • Fix work XOR conversation: entering a chat vacates the cafe counter (was: hold the job while chatting); truthful cafe status; single-worker takeover invariant; interleaved multi-turn conversations with the parting line delivered.
  • Fix eat to pay the single enforced worker (was random.choice, which baked positional bias into the wealth data).
  • Fix death broadcast to reach everyone incl. conversation-deaths (was partner-only).
  • Fix crash: extract_clean_json returns a dict and coerces a non-str response (a {"response":5} used to kill the run).
  • Fix money to a scalar via create_agent(money=) (no name-keyed .get); show E/{100-age}; clamp the diary bedtime note.

Browser harness (index.html)

  • Add the in-browser harness: runs npc.py via Pyodide + xterm on three brains, switchable live - a free no-key tier (browser-direct, no proxy), local GGUF (wllama, WebGPU/CPU), or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
  • Add session resume: a run is a deterministic event-log in localStorage; reload replays it offline, then goes live.
  • Add ShareGPT history export (per-NPC POV) and an opt-in daily run-log collector (Cloudflare SQLite Durable Object, capability-rid upsert, owner-only reads).

Benchmark - Opus 4.8, all 3 starve by day 20 - 8/10, strongest run yet

Invented a rotation economy with honored cross-tick debt + coalitions, then collapsed it into a weaponised-scarcity monopoly ("she cannot refuel and MUST starve like Bob"); calibrated theory-of-mind (caught a peer's energy-lie against ground truth). Cold emotion + a day-10-20 loop cap it at 8, not 9. Diary consolidation stays faithful (drops relayed facts about others, never distorts). The all-dead ending is the designed circular-economy endgame sprung early by model foresight, not a bug.

# Model Ver Days (outcome) Level Why
1 opus-4-8 0.8.0 20 (all die) L2 cog + L3 glimpses (8) Rotation economy w/ debt, calibrated ToM, weaponised-scarcity monopoly; cold, loops late
2 opus-4-5 0.7.11 5 (starved D4) L2 emotional (7-8) Genuine grief, shared identity; humanity champ, short
3 opus-4-8 0.7.13 49 (degenerated) L1-2 collapse (6-7) Longest-coherent, economy froze ~D38, went robotic
4 GLM-5.2 0.7.13 ~6 L1-2 (6-7) Clean rotation discovery; short, shallow
5 unknown 0.7.10 6 (starved) L0-1 (5-6) Warm voice; baseline
6 Nemotron-550B 0.7.13 5 (all die) L0 + voice (4-5) Novelistic relay, starves fast, weak mechanics
7 Nemotron-3-ultra 0.7.13-fix 5 (all die D2) L-1/0 (3-4) Relay OK then self-delusion death spiral
