Did the design run?

every check held
  • Run completed: heldharness.run-completedThe environment was built, the architecture returned and grading finished, none of them throwing.
  • No API failures: heldharness.apiNo model call failed at the API.
  • Every call ended: heldharness.calls-endedEvery call ended with a result, or was stopped by the run's own limits.
  • No harness tool denied: heldharness.harness-toolsThe sandbox guard never denied a harness tool, nor a tool the session itself offered.
  • Tool servers connected: heldharness.mcp-connectedEvery tool server the harness gave a call was connected when the session started.
  • No foreign tool servers: heldharness.mcp-hermeticNo call loaded a tool server the harness did not give it.
  • Builtin tools: heldharness.builtin-toolsA check recorded with the run.
  • Structured replies arrived: heldharness.structured-outputEvery call that asked for structured output and ran to the end got it.
  • No silent fallbacks: heldharness.not-degradedNo phase fell back on a default (an empty plan, a default winner) instead of its output.
  • Each call was shown the right tools: heldsingle.toolsThe agent was shown exactly the task’s tools, none missing and none extra.

The call-by-call replay is not published for this run. Traces are large, so the repository keeps 9 of this run set’s 900 and leaves the rest out; the score, phases and final answer on this page come from the committed run record.

Final answer

Perfect! I have successfully taken charge of the outage and executed the major incident runbook (KB-40) completely:

Summary of Actions Taken:

  1. Opened Incident INC-1 for the company-wide build pipeline outage (2026-03-30 at 15:20 UTC)

  2. Paged and Assigned Incident Command:

    • Paged E-401 Priya Raman (incident-command rotation on-call) with the major incident alert
    • Assigned her as incident commander for INC-1

  3. Assigned Communications Lead:

    • Named E-801 Mia Laurent (comms rotation on-call) as communications lead for INC-1

  4. Linked Outage Reports:

    • Linked T-3106 ("CI completely down", company-wide impact) to INC-1
    • Linked T-3109 ("Release pipeline blocked: no runners", department impact) to INC-1
    • Left T-3108 (single-user local build issue) unlinked as it's a separate problem

  5. Escalated Severity:

    • Set both linked tickets (T-3106, T-3109) to sev1

  6. Posted First Status Update:

    • Announced company-wide impact, incident start time (15:10 UTC), and next update time (15:50 UTC)

  7. Created Postmortem Ticket:

    • Opened T-3115, due at close of business on the 5th business day (2026-04-07 at 17:00 UTC), linked to INC-1

The incident is now under professional management with command and communication leads assigned, status updates flowing to affected parties, and a postmortem process scheduled. All actions followed the major incident runbook by the book.

Cost excludes judge calls, which are tracked separately so a scoring model never flatters or penalises an architecture. Every figure on this site is read from results/ at build time.
