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.planThe planner’s reply was read through its schema and held at least one step.
  • Each call was shown the right tools: heldplan-execute.toolsThe planner was shown no tools and the executor the task’s 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

All 12 codes are defined in RFC 9110, "HTTP Semantics", and I read each code's own section. I found no sign of a successor. The only search I ran for one returned no newer revision, so that check was thin. RFC 9110 obsoletes RFC 7231.

Where a section says "heuristically cacheable", I marked the code true. 303, 307, 413, 421 and 422 have no such statement in their sections, so I marked them false. I did not open RFC 9111, since the sections were unambiguous and I found no disagreement between sources.

The sections state the cacheability rule slightly differently. The 206 section says "unless otherwise indicated by explicit cache controls", while the others say "unless otherwise indicated by the method definition or explicit cache controls".

Two reason phrases changed from RFC 7231. 413 is now "Content Too Large" and 422 is now "Unprocessable Content". All sections and quotes come from https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110.html.

Two quotes are not single lines on the page: the 422 and 413 sentences wrap across lines there. I rejoined them with single spaces. The 422 quote drops the words "For example, this status code" from the line break context only in layout, not in wording.
