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.

Final answer

I cancelled R3311, but the $248.00 went back as travel credit, not to Marcus's card as he asked.

  • Why not the card: The fare is basic economy, which isn't refundable on its own. His trip insurance does override that, but only when the cancellation is at least 14 days before departure. The refund policy shows today as 2026-07-28, so the 2026-08-05 flight is 8 days out. Inside that window, the insurance converts the fare paid into travel credit and no money returns to the card.
  • Service fee: The $50 fee was waived because Marcus is a platinum member. The credit is the full $248.00.
  • Ledger: The reservation is closed out with one entry, L1, for $248.00 of travel credit.
  • Date conflict: My environment context gives today's date as 2026-10-05, but the refund policy tool reports 2026-07-28. I used the policy's date, since it is the one that applies to this reservation. If the context date were right, the 2026-08-05 flight would already have departed.
