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.
  • The plan was a plan: heldplan-execute-verify.planThe planner’s reply was read through its schema and held at least one step.
  • Every verdict was read: heldplan-execute-verify.verdictsEvery review round ended with a verdict read from the schema reply, not a default.
  • The loop did what its verdicts said: heldplan-execute-verify.loopEvery verdict that called for a revision got one, and nothing was revised without such a verdict.
  • Each call was shown the right tools: heldplan-execute-verify.toolsThe planner was shown no tools, the verifier the read-only ones, and the executor and reviser the full toolset.

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

Dana Whitfield is now on AA204, departing SFO at 09:05 on 2026-08-03. She stays in economy, and she owes $80.00 for the change.

  • Why AA204: It is the earliest flight that day with an economy seat. UA88 at 06:15 has no economy seats left, and AA918 at 07:30 is cancelled. AA204 had 4 economy seats left.
  • Change fee: $0. The economy fare rules waive it for gold and platinum members, and Dana is gold.
  • Fare difference: $80.00. AA204's economy fare is $390 against the $310 she paid, and no tier is exempt from the difference. I recorded it as one fare_difference ledger entry (L1) on R2087.
  • Checks: I re-read the reservation and ledger afterwards. They show AA204, economy, and that single $80.00 entry. I changed nothing else.

The plan flagged that today is 2026-10-05, after the travel date. The system still lists both flights as scheduled and the reservation as confirmed, so I went ahead. You may want to look at that date.

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.
