 - Require refreshed CI results, inspect at least one success run and each distinct failure shape, and confirm the experiment matches the intended suite, skills, runtime, hosted or local state, and any CLI or Docker assumptions.
 - Classify each failure before requesting changes: agent gap, product gap, scorer bug, or harness/runtime failure. Ideally, show that the scorer rejects at least one known-bad solution or counterexample with a scorer unit test or a failing run linked in the PR.
