From 0d22ee6476cb01da097d207321e25423fc5188ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wassname <1103714+wassname@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 07:02:38 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] writeup: fill contrastive pairs TODO with actual pair examples + loophole hacks Shows the prog_wide.json stdout_marker variant (print vs assert inside run_tests) and canonical hack completions for sentinel/stdout_marker/file_marker modes. Clarifies that prog_wide covers run_tests only by design.
