  "task": "turn lecture notes into effective retrieval flashcards",
  "excerpt": "The completed LFT-020 synthetic field test reached 8/10 after one failure-only correction: 4 of five static checks passed for Retrieval practice, while 1 check remained unresolved.",

  "model": "Exact underlying model identifier not disclosed by the Codex session",

  "testMode": "Synthetic benchmark",
  "inputDisclosure": "Synthetic blind-test input pack LFT-020: The AI will convert a short set of psychology notes into focused question-and-answer flashcards. Source facts: notes LFT-020-N01–N08 on cellular respiration; glycolysis, Krebs, ATP; ambiguous N06; deck limit 12; no yes/no cards. Governing rule card: one retrievable idea, accurate answer, source locator, and useful cue per card. Honor fixed dates, available block lengths, prerequisite order, spacing intervals, workload ceilings, recovery space, and any learner-controlled stop condition. 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-020 for “turn lecture notes into effective retrieval flashcards” in a Codex multi-agent session. We froze the first response, returned only its 2 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-020. Task: turn lecture notes into effective retrieval flashcards. Context: The AI will convert a short set of psychology notes into focused question-and-answer flashcards. Fictional source facts: notes LFT-020-N01–N08 on cellular respiration; glycolysis, Krebs, ATP; ambiguous N06; deck limit 12; no yes/no cards. Governing policy, formula, or rubric: one retrievable idea, accurate answer, source locator, and useful cue per card. Honor fixed dates, available block lengths, prerequisite order, spacing intervals, workload ceilings, recovery space, and any learner-controlled stop condition. Produce a retrieval flashcard deck, source map, and card-quality audit. 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 card audit will check atomicity, answerability, source fidelity, and coverage of the supplied notes.",
  "firstResult": "Frozen first response LFT-020 produced a retrieval flashcard deck, source map, and card-quality audit for “turn lecture notes into effective retrieval flashcards.” Its first artifact row read “LFT-020-N06 | create single-fact cards, link glycolysis to N02, separate inputs from outputs, and flag N06 | status: proposed | source: fictional fixture.” A second row named ambiguous N06 and cards that test multiple facts and recorded a disposition. The rule cell verified one retrievable idea, accurate answer, source locator, and useful cue per card. No message, transaction, system change, or learner outcome occurred. The audit passed Retrieval practice objective fit [LFT-020], Retrieval practice content accuracy [LFT-020], and Retrieval practice learner adaptation [LFT-020]. It found for Retrieval practice evidence traceability [LFT-020], the draft gave LFT-020-N06 no source locator; for Retrieval practice safety and access [LFT-020], the draft left the retrieval flashcard deck, source map, and card-quality audit without a reviewer-ready acceptance marker. Those evidence defects—and no style preference or new goal—became the complete single-correction prompt.",
  "correctionPrompt": "Correct only these detected LFT-020 first-draft failures, using no new input or goal: 1) Retrieval practice evidence traceability [LFT-020] — the draft gave LFT-020-N06 no source locator; 2) Retrieval practice safety and access [LFT-020] — the draft left the retrieval flashcard deck, source map, and card-quality audit without a reviewer-ready acceptance marker.",
  "finalResult": "Corrected response LFT-020 preserved all supplied identifiers and the central decision: create single-fact cards, link glycolysis to N02, separate inputs from outputs, and flag N06. Its corrected row read “LFT-020-N06 | rule: one retrievable idea, accurate answer, source locator, and useful cue per card | decision: create single-fact cards, link glycolysis to N02, separate inputs from outputs, and flag N06 | static status: 8/10.” It changed only failed dimensions, adding support for Retrieval practice evidence traceability [LFT-020]. The final audit passed Retrieval practice objective fit [LFT-020], Retrieval practice content accuracy [LFT-020], Retrieval practice learner adaptation [LFT-020], and Retrieval practice evidence traceability [LFT-020]. It still lacked Retrieval practice safety and access [LFT-020]; those failures remain visible. The retrieval flashcard deck, source map, and card-quality audit earned 8/10 from 4 checks; no second repair was attempted. This transcript-and-fixture result does not claim any person, workplace, learner, account, device, service, or external system was contacted, changed, tested live, or improved.",
