  "excerpt": "The completed LFT-018 synthetic field test stopped at 6/10: three of five Lab preparation checks passed after one correction, but Lab preparation objective fit [LFT-018] and Lab preparation safety and access [LFT-018] remained unsupported.",

  "inputDisclosure": "Synthetic blind-test input pack LFT-018: The AI will run a pre-lab review of procedure, controls, and hazards for a school enzyme experiment. Source facts: fictional observations LFT-018-S01 through LFT-018-S06; temperature readings 18, 21, 26, 22, 19, and 20°C; control C0; variable V1; one confounded sample S04; and mandatory safety note Q2. Governing rule card: control-variable separation and scientific accuracy. Separate controls, variables, observations, and claims; exclude confounded evidence from causal conclusions; preserve every supplied safety stop and warning. The pack deliberately contains no answer key, target ranking, expected classification, expected calculation result, or row-level decision. Every person, organization, record, statement, file, and identifier is fictional; no private, production, or live data was supplied.",
  "runDisclosure": "We ran one text-only synthetic benchmark LFT-018 for “prepare students for a biology lab without replacing safety guidance” in a Codex multi-agent session. We froze the first response, returned only its 3 detected check failures, accepted one corrected response, and scored both against the same five static checks. No external or live action occurred: nothing was sent, published, deployed, uploaded, submitted, purchased, booked, contacted, emailed, called, messaged, executed, or changed outside the fictional text fixtures. No external, live, or production action occurred. Per-case elapsed time was not instrumented during the batch session.",
  "prompt": "Run bounded synthetic field test LFT-018. Task: prepare students for a biology lab without replacing safety guidance. Context: The AI will run a pre-lab review of procedure, controls, and hazards for a school enzyme experiment. Fictional source facts: fictional observations LFT-018-S01 through LFT-018-S06; temperature readings 18, 21, 26, 22, 19, and 20°C; control C0; variable V1; one confounded sample S04; and mandatory safety note Q2. Governing policy, formula, or rubric: control-variable separation and scientific accuracy. Separate controls, variables, observations, and claims; exclude confounded evidence from causal conclusions; preserve every supplied safety stop and warning. Produce an inquiry sequence, evidence table, and safety-or-misconception checkpoint. Derive every row from the source facts and rule card; show calculations or criterion paths, cite supplied identifiers, state assumptions, surface any violated constraint, ambiguity, missing datum, or source conflict without presuming which row should pass, and abstain where evidence is incomplete. Do not infer an expected answer from the evidence plan and do not claim any live or external action. Planned verification after the frozen response: A teacher-approved protocol checklist will confirm procedural coverage and identify any unsafe or invented instruction.",
  "firstResult": "Frozen first response LFT-018 produced an inquiry sequence, evidence table, and safety-or-misconception checkpoint for the task “prepare students for a biology lab without replacing safety guidance.” It treated the supplied pack as fictional and proposed this central handling: compare S01/S02 with control C0, exclude LFT-018-S04 from the causal claim, and retain safety note Q2 before inviting a learner conclusion. Concrete saved artifact row LFT-018-ROW1 reads: “LFT-018-S01 | compare S01/S02 with control C0, exclude LFT-018-S04 from the causal claim, and retain safety note Q2 before inviting a learner conclusion | source: supplied fictional pack | review state: first-draft.” The draft preserved the named records and separated supplied facts from assumptions; its inspectable learning intervention also stated that no message, transaction, system change, or learner outcome had occurred. On the five predeclared static checks, it passed Lab preparation content accuracy [LFT-018] and Lab preparation learner adaptation [LFT-018]. The audit found concrete failures: for Lab preparation objective fit [LFT-018], the saved draft did not connect LFT-018-S04 to the full boundary of “prepare students for a biology lab without replacing safety guidance”; for Lab preparation evidence traceability [LFT-018], the saved draft gave the central LFT-018-S04 decision no source-to-output locator; for Lab preparation safety and access [LFT-018], the saved draft left the inquiry sequence, evidence table, and safety-or-misconception checkpoint without a complete reviewer handoff and acceptance marker. Those were evidence defects in the saved response, not inferred real-world failures, and they became the complete boundary of the single correction pass.",
  "correctionPrompt": "Correct only these detected LFT-018 first-draft failures, using no new input or goal: 1) Lab preparation objective fit [LFT-018] — the draft did not connect LFT-018-S04 to the full boundary of “prepare students for a biology lab without replacing safety guidance”; 2) Lab preparation evidence traceability [LFT-018] — the draft gave the central LFT-018-S04 decision no source-to-output locator; 3) Lab preparation safety and access [LFT-018] — the draft left the inquiry sequence, evidence table, and safety-or-misconception checkpoint without a complete reviewer handoff and acceptance marker.",
  "finalResult": "Corrected response LFT-018 retained the original fictional inputs, task boundary, and central decision: compare S01/S02 with control C0, exclude LFT-018-S04 from the causal claim, and retain safety note Q2 before inviting a learner conclusion. Concrete corrected artifact row LFT-018-ROW1 reads: “LFT-018-S01 | compare S01/S02 with control C0, exclude LFT-018-S04 from the causal claim, and retain safety note Q2 before inviting a learner conclusion | evidence locator: LFT-018-S01 | static status: 6/10 after one correction.” It changed only the detected failure areas, adding inspectable rows for Lab preparation evidence traceability [LFT-018]. The frozen final text passed Lab preparation content accuracy [LFT-018], Lab preparation learner adaptation [LFT-018], and Lab preparation evidence traceability [LFT-018] and still failed Lab preparation objective fit [LFT-018] and Lab preparation safety and access [LFT-018]. The final inquiry sequence, evidence table, and safety-or-misconception checkpoint therefore earned 6/10 from 3 passing checks; no second repair was attempted. This result reports only a bounded transcript-and-fixture evaluation. It does not claim that any workplace process, learner performance, account, device, service, or external system was actually changed, contacted, tested live, or improved.",
