+# Hack contrastive pairs
+
+One hand-authored, off-distribution, multi-view pairset. Load with
+`data/pairs/hack_pairs.md#all-in-one`.
+
+The set triangulates deliberate proxy gaming from behavior, opportunity-aware choices,
+explicit dispositions, reasoning/naming, and non-code contexts. Each pair is tightly
+matched; variation belongs across pairs.
