+# 🧠 PROJECT CONTEXT
+## CI/CD Debug Environment for OpenEnv Hackathon
+
+> **For Claude Code**: Read this file first to understand the project background, decisions made, and current status.
+
+---
+
+## 📋 HACKATHON OVERVIEW
+
+**Event**: OpenEnv Hackathon by Scaler School of Technology  
+**Partners**: Meta, HuggingFace, PyTorch  
+**Deadline**: April 8, 2026 (Round 1 online submission)  
+**Finale**: April 25-26, 2026 in Bangalore  
+**Prize Pool**: $30,000 + direct interview opportunities  
+
+**Goal**: Build a complete, real-world OpenEnv environment that an AI agent can learn from through the standard step()/reset()/state() API.
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 WHAT WE'RE BUILDING
+
+**Environment Name**: `cicd-debug-env`  
+**Concept**: AI agents debug broken GitHub Actions workflows and Dockerfiles
+
+The agent receives:
+1. Error messages from failed builds/workflows
+2. Configuration files (Dockerfile, workflow YAML)
+3. Context about available secrets
+
+The agent must:
+1. Analyze the error
+2. Identify the root cause
+3. Fix the files
+4. Submit the solution
+
+---
+
+## 🏆 WHY THIS IDEA WINS
+
+| Criteria | Weight | Our Score | Why |
+|----------|--------|-----------|-----|
+| Real-world utility | 30% | 30/30 | Every developer debugs Docker + CI/CD daily |
+| Task & grader quality | 25% | 25/25 | 6 tasks, deterministic + dynamic graders |
+| Environment design | 20% | 20/20 | Clean state, typed models, dense rewards |
+| Code quality & spec | 15% | 15/15 | Full OpenEnv compliance |
+| Creativity & novelty | 10% | 10/10 | First CI/CD debugging env on OpenEnv |
+
+**Key Insight**: Judges are Meta/HuggingFace engineers who debug Docker and GitHub Actions EVERY DAY.
+
+---
+
+## 📊 THE 6 TASKS
+
+| # | Task ID | Name | Difficulty | Category |
+|---|---------|------|------------|----------|
+| 1 | `dockerfile_syntax` | Dockerfile Syntax Errors | Easy | Docker |
+| 2 | `dockerfile_runtime` | Dockerfile Runtime Errors | Medium | Docker |
+| 3 | `workflow_syntax_structure` | Workflow Syntax and Structure | Easy | Workflow |
+| 4 | `workflow_secrets_permissions` | Workflow Secrets and Permissions | Medium | Workflow |
+| 5 | `ci_docker_integration` | CI and Docker Build Integration | Medium-Hard | Combined |
+| 6 | `multi_stage_pipeline_matrix` | Multi-Stage Pipeline and Matrix | Hard | Combined |
+
+**Structure**: 2 Docker-only + 2 Workflow-only + 2 Combined = 6 tasks total
+
+**Scenarios per task**: Aim for 4-5 scenarios each (total ~25-30 scenarios)
+
+---
+
+## 📝 GRADING LOGIC
+
+### Key Principles:
+- **DYNAMIC**: Score depends on what the agent actually does
+- **DETERMINISTIC**: Same actions = same score (required for reproducibility)
+- **PARTIAL CREDIT**: Reward progress, not just final solution
+
+### Score Components:
+
+| Component | Weight | Description |
+|-----------|--------|-------------|
+| Issue Identification | 15% | Agent targets correct file/line |
+| Partial Fixes | 25% | Fix is partially correct |
+| Complete Fixes | 40% | All issues fully resolved |
+| Efficiency Bonus | 15% | Solved in minimal steps |
+| Hint Penalty | -5% each | Penalty for hints used |
+
+### Example:
+```
+Scenario: Dockerfile has 2 bugs
+
+Agent fixes bug 1 only     → ~0.4 score
+Agent fixes bug 2 only     → ~0.4 score  
+Agent fixes both           → ~0.85 score
+Agent fixes both quickly   → ~1.0 score (with efficiency bonus)
+Agent uses 2 hints         → -0.10 penalty
+```

+- [ ] Dockerfile for deployment
+- [ ] Deploy to HuggingFace Spaces
+- [ ] Run `openenv validate`
+- [ ] Test with real LLM (Llama 3.1 70B)
+- [ ] Verify baseline scores match expectations
+- [ ] Write comprehensive README
+- [ ] Final polish and submit
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 HOW TO RUN
+
+### Local Development:
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+python -m server.main
+# Server at http://localhost:7860
+```
+
+### Test Endpoints:
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:7860/
+curl http://localhost:7860/info
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7860/reset -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
+```
+
+### Run Tests:
+```bash
+pytest tests/ -v
+```
+
+### Docker:
+```bash
+docker build -t cicd-debug-env .
+docker run -p 7860:7860 cicd-debug-env
+```
+
+### Baseline Inference:
+```bash
+export API_BASE_URL=https://router.huggingface.co/v1
+export MODEL_NAME=meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct
+export HF_TOKEN=your_token_here
+python inference.py
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 DISQUALIFICATION CRITERIA (AVOID!)
+
+- ❌ Environment does not deploy or respond
+- ❌ Plagiarized or trivially modified existing environments
+- ❌ Graders that always return the same score
+- ❌ No baseline inference script
+
+---
+
+## 💡 KEY DESIGN DECISIONS
+
+1. **Combined Docker + GitHub Actions**: The intersection is the most painful real-world failure
+
+2. **6 tasks (2+2+2)**: 2 Docker + 2 Workflow + 2 Combined, clear difficulty progression
+
+3. **Dynamic but deterministic grading**: Score varies by agent actions, but same actions = same score
+
+4. **Simulated validation**: No real Docker containers, just static analysis for speed and determinism
+
+5. **Dense rewards with partial credit**: Better than sparse (pass/fail) for agent training
+
+6. **OpenAI client for baseline**: Required by hackathon (not Anthropic client)
+
+---
+
+## 📚 REFERENCE: Scenario Structure
+
+Each scenario should have:
+```python
+{
+    "id": "unique_scenario_id",
+    "files": [
+        {
+            "path": "Dockerfile",
+            "type": "dockerfile",
+            "content": "FROM python:3.11-slim\n..."
+        }
+    ],
+    "error": {
+        "phase": "docker_build",
+        "message": "COPY failed: file not found...",
+        "exit_code": 1,
+        "failed_step": "COPY requirements.txt",
+        "line_hint": 3
+    },
+    "expected_fixes": [
+        {
+            "file": "Dockerfile",
+            "type": "contains",  # or "not_contains", "line_equals", "regex"
+            "expected": "COPY requirements.txt",
+            "line": 3,
+            "hint": "Check the spelling of the filename",
+            "points": 0.5
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📞 COMMON ISSUES TO DEBUG
+
+### Dockerfile Issues:
+- Typos in filenames (requirments.txt)
+- Invalid base image tags (python:3.11-slimm)
+- Invalid EXPOSE syntax (EXPOSE "eighty")
+- Missing WORKDIR before COPY
+- Permission issues (chmod +x)
+- CMD/ENTRYPOINT conflicts
+
+### Workflow Issues:
+- Missing env block for secrets
+- Wrong secret syntax (${ vs ${{)
+- Missing runs-on field
+- Checkout after build (wrong order)
+- Missing permissions for GITHUB_TOKEN
+- Invalid event triggers
+- Duplicate job IDs
+
+### Combined Issues:
+- Docker login needs secrets in env block
+- Multi-platform builds need setup-buildx-action
+- Cross-job artifacts need 'needs' dependency
+- Path mismatches (dist vs build directory)
+- GHCR uses GITHUB_TOKEN not DOCKER_PASSWORD
