"""SN99 free agent v16: dual-oracle stress loop with cold restart.

Draft, check samples, stress against a confirmed pair of independent references, then

"""

# SN99 free agent v16 -- improvement over the field's multi-turn stress agents (r1/r2 lineage).
#
# Entry: build_agent(weights) -> agent(prompt, call_model) -> answer
#
# WHAT THE FIELD ALREADY DOES WELL.
#   Draft a program, repair it on the statement's worked examples, then ask the model for an
#   independent brute-force reference + random generator and stress the draft against that
#   oracle. That catches confidently wrong algorithms that still reproduce the samples.
#
# WHY A STRAIGHT COPY CANNOT BEAT THE KING.
#   The king's own traces say more stress rounds HURT: the reference is model-written and
#   imperfect, so extra disagreements are disproportionately FALSE and "fix" a correct
#   program into a wrong one. Blindly trusting one oracle is the ceiling of that design.
#
# v16 DELTAS (each aimed at a measured failure mode, none task-specific):
#
#   1. DUAL-ORACLE CONFIRMATION. On a stress disagreement, admit a SECOND independent
#      reference (sample-validated). Repair only when both oracles print the same wanted
#      output on that input. If they disagree, discard the case -- do not corrupt the draft.
#      This lets us keep the 60-round loop's signal without the false-repair tax.
#
#   2. COLD RESTART ON STUCK PATCHES. After a few sample repairs still fail, abandon the
#      conversation and ask for a fresh draft at medium effort on an alternate strong model.
#      Patching a wrong algorithm forever is how phase-1 burns the clock.
#
#   3. EFFORT BUMP ON REPAIR. First repair stays at low; later repairs and the cold restart
#      use medium. Field A/Bs (royhensley ladder) show effort, not just model swap, moves
#      hard code tasks.
#
#   4. EMPTY RETRY. One empty completion retries once at doubled max_tokens (finish_reason=
#      length is the largest failure bucket in the field).
#
#   5. COMPILE GATE. A draft that does not compile is treated as a concrete failure before
#      any sample is run, so we do not spend the verify budget on SyntaxError noise.
#
#   6. R2 TOOL ESCALATION + ROUTER HEAD. Keep the tanh RouterHead over the pinned encoder,
#      never route to qwen-flash, and escalate the reference ask off the cheap default after
#      the first rejection.
#
#   7. UNIQUE BUILD MARK. Sibling artifacts that emit identical prompt sets get clustered as
#      behavioral duplicates; a metadata mark with no task content breaks that without
#      changing answers.
#
# NO PER-TASK CONTENT. No digest tables, no pinned outputs, no named algorithms.
