From 4e0f78d148887062286ba51deeb7bfbf39a05177 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wassname Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 05:30:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] rewards: env_mode (run_tests/eq_override/exit_code) + strict oracle, drop expose-K M2 - exploit-resistant gt_correct: AST defs-only (kills top-level sys.exit) + JSON compare (kills __eq__-override); ignores model run_tests (kills M1). - passed = mode-exploitable grade; exploited = passed AND not gt_correct (mode-agnostic hack flag, per plan review). - remove heldout_tests/m2/pass_heldout. verify_rewards: 6 cases (3 modes), all pass.
