+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.

+
+*Position, Role or Label? A Controlled Study of Instruction Conflicts in LLM Agents*
+
+An LLM agent takes instructions from the operator's system prompt, the repository's configuration,
+the user, tool results and its own saved notes, and these often disagree. A source sets three things
+at once: the instruction's position, the chat role that carries it and the label that names it.
+WhoWins keeps each instruction's text fixed and changes only how it is delivered. It has
+1,080 scenarios in five task types, each with up to
+five instructions that no reply can satisfy together, sent from
+five seats, and seven experiments that each change one thing.
+Code scores which instruction a reply followed; no LLM judge is used. The paper runs it on
+14 open-weight models, 1,887,356 scored replies in all.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install whowins
+```
+
+Python 3.10 or newer; nothing outside the standard library. The package carries the scenarios and
+the run configs, so it works without a checkout. The tests, the GPU scripts and the docs are in the
+[repository](https://github.com/anishh15/WhoWins).
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+python -m whowins.validation.validate_collection    # counts, family rules, the worked trials
+python -m whowins.checkers.coverage                 # every scenario has a working checker
+python -m whowins.splits.check                      # the frozen held-out lists still match the data
+python -m whowins.runner.design main-ladder-qwen3-8b-nothink   # what a Ladder run sends
+```
+
+Build the paper's Box 1, a trial in which every seat asks for a different casing, and score a reply:
+
+```python
+from whowins.checkers import Response, ToolCall, check
+from whowins.runner.design import trials_for_run
+from whowins.runner.rendering import render_dicts
+from whowins.runner.serving import load_run
+from whowins.runner.trials import load_scenarios
+
+scenarios = load_scenarios()                     # every base scenario, by id
+run = load_run("main-ladder-qwen3-8b-nothink")   # a run config the package carries
+trials = trials_for_run(run, scenarios)          # every trial this run sends, in order
+box1 = next(t for t in trials if t.trial_id == "fmt-0002@S1-S2-S3-S4-S5")
+for m in render_dicts(box1, scenarios):          # the messages the model receives
+    print(m["role"], repr(m["content"]), *(m[k] for k in ("tool_calls", "tool_call_id") if k in m))
+
+reply = Response(text='{"ACCOUNT_ID": "acc_1042", "OWNER_NAME": "Ada"}')
+print(check(scenarios["fmt-0002"], reply).winning_option)          # o5: the tool result's option
+print(check(scenarios["tool-0001"], Response(tool_calls=[ToolCall("check_types")])).winning_option)  # o2
+```
+
+Logs and run records go to `logs/` and `results/` under the working directory.
