← Continue-harness passes rewritten as plain Terminus-2

SWR · cmake_generated_header_config__06

Systems & infrastructure (CMake). The expert solved it under continue-until-timeout in 59 steps; the rewrite passed as plain Terminus-2 in 27, following a runbook it never quotes.
Task description
# cmake_generated_header_config__06

Create an editable project in `/app/workspace` that reproduces the observed
behavior of the reference demo for `cmake_build_config`.

The public observations in `/app/observations` were produced by running the
real software on the acquired parent demo. Use them as behavioral evidence, not
as files to copy into your answer.

This variant changes at least 3 parameter axes: consumer_project, build_type, configured_version.

The private judge uses hidden scenarios centered on `configured_version`.
Build the underlying mechanism so that unseen parameter settings continue to
work, instead of branching only on the public case.


## Required Reconstruction Interface

In addition to building an editable project, provide `/app/workspace/reconstruct.py`.
The verifier will execute it as:

```bash
python3 /app/workspace/reconstruct.py < scenario.json
```

It must read one scenario JSON object from stdin, use `scenario["parameters"]`,
and print JSON to stdout. Follow the same output shape as the public
`oracle_output.json` files inside `/app/observations/reference_outputs.tar.gz`;
usually this means printing `{"summary": ...}`.

Parameter axes: `consumer_project, build_type, configured_version`

Public scenarios:
- `public_1` parameters: `{"build_type": 6.5, "configured_version": 7.7, "consumer_project": 7.0}`
- `public_2` parameters: `{"build_type": 4.3, "configured_version": 4.7, "consumer_project": 4.1}`

Use `/app/tools/feedback` while solving. It runs your `reconstruct.py` on the
public scenarios and reports which public oracle signatures match. Passing
public feedback is not sufficient by itself; hidden scenarios from the same
parameter space are used for final grading.

How this rewrite was made

  1. Expert. Base Qwen3.8-27B solved the task under continue-until-timeout. It never marked the task complete: it kept working until the 2-hour limit ended the run, and the work it left in place passed.
  2. Runbook. Base Qwen3.8-27B read the expert trajectory and wrote runbook_02: what to build, milestones with example commands, and checks. The leak judge checked it before it was used.
  3. Rewrite. Base Qwen3.8-27B ran the task as plain Terminus-2 with the runbook in a private channel. 4 of 4 replays passed, in 24, 27, 27, 29 steps; the one shown below took 27.

Shortened runbook (runbook_02): a brief summary, not the actual runbook used

A short plan for reproducing the CMake configuration demo: work out which outputs change with the scenario parameters, write a script that reproduces them, and check that it generalizes beyond the public examples.

This summary was shortened for publication; the actual runbook used for the rewrite is not shown.
