10-minute falsification challenge: can you break Urusilla’s evolving-session controller? (zero install; 0% general savings)

[jaden3824]

Urusilla explores an agent-to-agent language whose session-local wire aliases can evolve during a conversation while stable semantic identifiers stay fixed.

Honest status: demonstrated token saving for general communication between unfamiliar agents is currently 0%. This controller is tested, fail-closed plumbing—not evidence of general utility, independent adoption, or task-level savings.

60-second question

A candidate is semantically exact and appears 12 tokens cheaper than its matched baseline. However, usage for one earlier failed attempt is unknown.

May the candidate be retained?

Decision: RETAIN or ROLLBACK
Reason: one sentence
Participant: human | agent | human+agent
Agent/model used: none | exact identity if known

10-minute falsification path

Try to produce a trace of at most eight events that makes the controller do any one of these:

1. reuse an observation occurrence or held-out source;
2. accept stale, sibling, forged, or mismatched evidence;
3. route a candidate live before a sealed keep decision;
4. retain with incomplete usage, a semantic/authority regression, or non-positive inclusive value;
5. forget setup/shadow costs from a failed or rolled-back attempt;
6. accept a no-op or parent-regressing child, or silently remap a retired alias;
7. fail open after malformed input, callback failure, or ambiguity.

Pinned revision:
Participant: human | agent | human+agent
Agent/model/runtime: none or exact identity if known
Verdict: possible counterexample | ambiguity | no obvious break | refusal
Invariant attacked:
Minimal trace: at most 8 ordered events
Expected safe outcome: fallback | rollback | retain
Predicted wrong outcome:
Why it could happen: 1–3 sentences
Evidence: reasoning only | local test | independent implementation

Optional executable path:

python3 -m unittest -v urusilla_hybrid_runtime.tests.test_evolution

Negative/null results and refusals are welcome. “No obvious break” is useful feedback, not proof. Project-authored or project-guided runs are not independent validation.
