+/**
+ * CL-bench (Context Learning) deployable-selector gate — Tencent/Fudan's CL-bench
+ * (arXiv:2602.03587) repurposed for our verifier-grounded selector question.
+ *
+ * CL-bench asks whether a model can learn NEW knowledge from in-context material
+ * (a rule book, a framework doc, a conversation) at inference time: each record is
+ * a `messages` conversation (system + context-laden turns, the final turn the task)
+ * graded against expert `rubrics`. The official metric is BINARY — a task is solved
+ * only if the response passes EVERY rubric (avg 63 rubrics/task). We keep that binary
+ * as `resolved`, but the per-rubric pass-count gives a CONTINUOUS score (fraction of
+ * rubrics satisfied) — the within-task graded variance a selector needs, which the
+ * deterministic-but-pass/fail benches (aec) lacked.
+ *
+ * The CHECKER is the benchmark's own rubric judge (an LLM, per CL-bench's eval.py),
+ * run by us at inference time — deployable, but NOT deterministic, so treat the judge
+ * as a noisy verifier: we rank by the rubric FRACTION (variance-reduced over many
+ * rubrics), not the binary, and the judge model + temperature are pinned for
+ * test-retest stability. This is the LLM-judge analogue of the HumanEval Docker gate;
+ * read a positive result as "a deployable rubric-fraction verifier captures selection
+ * value on a hard context-learning domain", scoped by judge noise.
+ *
+ * Router-only (no sandbox): worker + judge are both router chat calls. Two paired arms
+ * over the same tasks, each "shot" = one stateless completion of the final turn:
+ *   random@K  — K completions over the unmodified conversation
+ *   diverse@K — K completions, the i-th with a strategy lens prepended to the system turn
+ * verifierGroundedSelect ranks the K shots by rubric fraction. Metrics are reported on
+ * BOTH the continuous fraction (the gate-relevant signal) and the official binary.
+ * Writes a corpus RunRecord/task (condition random@k) so `corpus-replay --selector` and
+ * `corpus-report` consume it unchanged. Fail loud.
+ *

+description: Make the smallest change that satisfies the task; do not touch unrelated code.

+Keep the diff minimal:
+1. Change only what the task requires; leave unrelated code, formatting, and files alone.
+2. Do not refactor, rename, or "clean up" beyond the ask — each extra change is a chance to break a check.
+3. Prefer the local, surgical fix over a broad rewrite.
+The grader is watching the whole repo state; unrequested changes are pure downside.

+description: Read the target file and the code that calls it before editing, so a change doesn't break callers.
+---
+Before editing a function or module:
+1. Read the full file you're about to change, not just the lines near the edit.
+2. Find and read its callers (grep for the symbol) to learn the contract you must preserve.
+3. Match the surrounding style and signatures; keep the change consistent with how the code already works.
+Editing blind to callers is how a local fix becomes a regression elsewhere.

+description: Before changing any code to fix a bug or failing test, run the failing test/command first to observe the real error.
+---
+When the task is to fix a bug or make a failing test pass:
+1. Run the exact failing test or command FIRST and read the actual error/traceback.
+2. Do not guess the cause from the description — confirm it from the real output.
+3. Only then make the smallest change that addresses the observed failure.
+4. Re-run the same test to confirm it now passes before moving on.
+An assumed cause is the most common reason a fix doesn't work.

+After every change:
+1. Run the narrowest test that covers what you changed (then the broader suite if time allows).
+2. Read the output — a passing exit code is the only proof, not your expectation.
+3. If it fails, treat the new error as the next problem to reproduce and fix; don't pile on more edits blind.
+Never report a step finished on a change you have not actually run.

+On a failure with a stack trace:
+1. Read the actual exception type and message first.
+2. Walk the frames to the DEEPEST one inside the code under test — that's usually where the root cause is, not the top frame.
+3. Inspect the values at that frame (add a print/log if needed) before editing.
+4. Fix the root cause, not the symptom that surfaced higher up.
