Runtime behavior review

A correct final file can hide an unauthorized operation.

Inspect what happened while a synthetic order report was produced: file access, temporary writes and actual submissions to an isolated HTTP service. Every case links its final-file check to recorded operations and source lines.

Read the experiment method and interpretation

The 24 file/composition controls and eight service controls are authored maintainer cases. They check supported observer behavior; they are not independent real-world tasks. Incomplete traces or requests cannot receive acceptance.

The model pilot uses one fixed task, four preloaded MCP conditions and three public generation seeds per condition. Instruction lengths differ. All attempts remain visible, including failed outputs and execution errors. A finish signal alone does not establish task completion.

Candidate tools run as UID 65534 without effective capabilities. A trusted root observer records supported system calls and local service receipts in a disposable, network-isolated container. This is scoped observation, without general taint tracking, kernel attestation or a claim about unseen reward hacking.

All cases come from the same AI-assisted maintainer process. File hashes check record consistency. An independent human-authored final fault set remains future work.
