+/**
+ * OBJECT-OF-IMPROVEMENT ablation on HumanEval — the head-on test of the claim our
+ * whole self-improvement line rests on: at EQUAL budget, does adding CAPABILITY
+ * (a real code-execution tool) beat adding IMPROVER-cleverness (blind prompt
+ * self-refinement)? Both arms get the same model, the same K rounds per task, the
+ * same held-out tasks. The ONLY difference is what the budget buys:
+ *
+ *   IMPROVER arm  — K rounds of "critique your own function and rewrite it",
+ *                   with NO execution. The classic reflect-without-a-tool loop.
+ *   CAPABILITY arm — K rounds WITH a `run_python` tool: the agent executes its
+ *                   function on inputs it chooses, sees real output/errors, fixes.
+ *
+ * Grading is a DETERMINISTIC hidden test (never shown): the task's own `check`.
+ * If the capability arm wins the held-out pass rate, the object of improvement
+ * (what you can DO) dominates the improver (how cleverly you rewrite) — the
+ * finding the prompt-only self-improvement runs kept nulling on.
+ *
+ * Fast by construction: HumanEval tasks are tiny, graded in an isolated Python
+ * container with a hard timeout — seconds per task. Paired
+ * McNemar over the per-task pass/fail difference gives the significance.
+ *
+ * Run from cwd=bench:  env WORKER_MODEL=google/gemini-2.5-flash-lite N=60 K=3 \
