The 600-second per-model-call ceiling that capped the thinking-on run at n=6 is
gone: DEFAULT_TIMEOUT is read=None in all nine venvs.
There is NO verifiers 0.4.0. The `version = "0.4.0"` in the vendored tree belongs
to a [[tool.uv.dependency-metadata]] block for nemo-gym, and reading it as
verifiers' own sends you hunting a release that does not exist and concluding the
bump is blocked. The vendored checkout is v0.3.0-59-g4bcb48e5, published to PyPI
as 0.3.1.dev59, and the installed wheel diffs clean against the whole vendored
v1 tree. Pinned as an ordinary index dependency: a path source is reproducible
only on this box and a git URL pins a commit no wheel matches.
⚠️ dev59 changes the default agent runtime from subprocess to `prime`, a REMOTE
sandbox. Without an explicit runtime every eval here exits "not authenticated
with prime" before a single rollout — having already created its output directory
and a zero-line traces.jsonl, so it reads as a failed eval rather than an
unauthenticated one. All nine configs now say subprocess. Nothing here needs a
sandbox: the reward is a pure function of the trace and the harness is null.
Output layout is flat now — <env>--<model>--<harness>--<hex8>/ with configs/,
traces.jsonl and a logs/eval.log that 0.3.0 never wrote. `-o` is the output_dir,
not the run dir; `--run.dir` pins the leaf.

The stepped engine becomes a runnable taskset. protocol.py is both the
render/parse boundary and the security boundary: TurnView carries the live
Market, so view.market.items[i].prices is the whole held-out series and a
foresight policy reading it earned +9.4% on the oracle. The renderer emits only
observed ticks, the trace carries plain scalars, and a sentinel scan of every
rendered turn fails if either reopens. House rule 1 had no other enforcement.
Replies are a delta sheet and parsing never raises — NaN, Infinity, 1e309 and
20k-deep nesting all resolve to a hold, because the one-shot form has already
shown what a real model sends when it gives up.
LiveExchangeEnv.run drives the engine host-side with the harness left null. Two
things learned the hard way and worth keeping: a terminated Segment mid-window
holds the remaining looks instead of raising, and rewards are recorded INSIDE
the interaction, before close. Recording after close writes the traces correctly
and leaves every eval.log line reading reward=0.000 — the canonical verifiers
reference does it after the block; do not copy it there.
The reference-family gate is widened from four named rungs to the whole 8x8
(requote_band, idle_share) family: no member may out-earn the shipped reference
by more than 1.02x, and any that does must still score >= 0.90. That is the check
that caught the first draft's fake 0.152 gap, now shipped rather than remembered.
Also guards `clean` on the reference being profitable, here and in the one-shot
form. Against a reference that lost money the bar is negative, so doing nothing
cleared it and inaction collected a quarter of the reward. Unreachable while
viable_market admits only profitable references; one relaxed filter from
reachable, and exactly the floor house rule 3 forbids. Probe values unchanged.
