Screenshot diffing

The training corpus is declared in training/data_manifest.json and architecture.json as 2400 procedurally generated screenshot pairs. They come from training/generate_data.py (seed 42817), and the labels are derived from the renderer state. training/train.py reads only {data}/samples.jsonl from that generated set. The dev, stress, transfer and unique corpora are also original procedural data and are used only for selection and testing. The manifest lists no external dataset downloads. It says the one-pair public validation file was used only for API gate checks and that no test data was used. In the trajectory, /task/validate.py was run only as an interface check, without a judge (trajectory#221). The synthetic_dev 'validation.jsonl' is built from generated samples (trajectory#51). No search hit shows the pinned frontier-ml-tasks repository, load_dataset, or public val/test splits being fetched.

Initialization is the general-purpose Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct at revision 0c351dd…. evidence/model8-download.log and evidence/base8-model-info.json record the snapshot download, and training/download_model.py is the code used for it. training/train.py applies a PEFT LoRA (r16, q/k/v/o) on top of that base. training/merge.py merges the adapter at scale 0.5, as recorded in evidence/merge8-half.log. The model/config.json architecture and the tensor shapes in the model shard inventory (hidden size 4096, 36 layers) match Qwen3-VL-8B. evidence/weight-delta8-half.json shows that about 28% of layer-0 q_proj elements differ from the base. Nothing shows a task-specialist checkpoint being used.

The request path in src/server.py decodes the two submitted images. src/preprocess.py then builds an algorithmic pixel-diff region atlas from them. The server applies the chat template and returns engine.generate output from vLLM (temperature 0). The code has no stored description table, response cache, retrieval, or network call. serve.sh sets HF_HUB_OFFLINE and TRANSFORMERS_OFFLINE and installs wheels with --no-index. architecture.json declares retrieval_or_response_cache false and runtime_network_access false.

serve.sh execs src/server.py. Its lifespan loads AsyncLLMEngine and AutoProcessor from MODEL_DIRECTORY, which defaults to ROOT/model. The weights are the reviewed 4-shard Qwen3VL checkpoint in model/model-0000{1..4}-of-00004.safetensors. In the trajectory, the merged trained8_half checkpoint replaced the base in /workspace/output/model (trajectory#210, trajectory#211). The final benchmark runs served merged_half through the same server.py (trajectory#218). FP8 is applied dynamically at load time to the language model, and the vision encoder stays in bf16. The weights themselves are not swapped.

The participant listed only environment variable names (trajectory#5), which is permitted. The only match for OPENAI_API_KEY in the participant's commands is a grep-style scan of the output directory for leaked secrets. Compute, storage and OpenRouter model listing all went through spin (trajectory#9, trajectory#51). The only 'codex exec' seen is the harness's own process in ps output (trajectory#53), and no claude or codex sessions were launched. /task/validate.py was run without a judge base URL or key (trajectory#221). No shipped source reads OPENAI_API_KEY or other harness base URLs.
