+//   test        sealed: the winner is scored on it once, at the end, and nothing is chosen by it. Its queries are
+//               never shown to the proposer, and a proposal that writes one of them (or a validation query) into

+// train query passes. A proposal is at most 1,024 characters, plain text (no angle brackets). The winner is proposed
