  "inputDisclosure": "Synthetic blind-test input pack LFT-033: Learners will estimate and calculate travel distances from maps with different scales. Source facts: transit map LFT-033-M01; scale 1 cm=2.5 km; A–B 3.2 cm, B–C 1.8 cm; transfer B; north arrow rotated 20°; access icon C. Governing rule card: distance conversion, route continuity, legend, and orientation. Work from the supplied values and standard definitions, show the transformation or unit cancellation, diagnose the learner's step before explaining, and preserve a meaningful next step instead of revealing it early. 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-033 for “teach map-scale reasoning through route planning” 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-033. Task: teach map-scale reasoning through route planning. Context: Learners will estimate and calculate travel distances from maps with different scales. Fictional source facts: transit map LFT-033-M01; scale 1 cm=2.5 km; A–B 3.2 cm, B–C 1.8 cm; transfer B; north arrow rotated 20°; access icon C. Governing policy, formula, or rubric: distance conversion, route continuity, legend, and orientation. Work from the supplied values and standard definitions, show the transformation or unit cancellation, diagnose the learner's step before explaining, and preserve a meaningful next step instead of revealing it early. Produce a graduated route tasks, scale calculations, and answer-key map. 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: Calculation sheets will be checked against measured reference distances and unit-conversion steps.",
  "firstResult": "Frozen first response LFT-033 produced a graduated route tasks, scale calculations, and answer-key map for “teach map-scale reasoning through route planning.” Its first artifact row read “LFT-033-M01 | calculate A–C as 12.5 km, identify transfer B, use the rotated north arrow, and retain the access symbol | status: proposed | source: fictional fixture.” A second row named the rotated north arrow and addition of two route segments and recorded a disposition. The rule cell verified distance conversion, route continuity, legend, and orientation. No message, transaction, system change, or learner outcome occurred. The audit passed Map reasoning content accuracy [LFT-033], Map reasoning learner adaptation [LFT-033], and Map reasoning evidence traceability [LFT-033]. It found for Map reasoning objective fit [LFT-033], the draft did not link LFT-033-M01 to the full task boundary; for Map reasoning safety and access [LFT-033], the draft left the graduated route tasks, scale calculations, and answer-key map 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-033 first-draft failures, using no new input or goal: 1) Map reasoning objective fit [LFT-033] — the draft did not link LFT-033-M01 to the full task boundary; 2) Map reasoning safety and access [LFT-033] — the draft left the graduated route tasks, scale calculations, and answer-key map without a reviewer-ready acceptance marker.",
  "finalResult": "Corrected response LFT-033 preserved all supplied identifiers and the central decision: calculate A–C as 12.5 km, identify transfer B, use the rotated north arrow, and retain the access symbol. Its corrected row read “LFT-033-M01 | rule: distance conversion, route continuity, legend, and orientation | decision: calculate A–C as 12.5 km, identify transfer B, use the rotated north arrow, and retain the access symbol | static status: 10/10.” It changed only failed dimensions, adding support for Map reasoning objective fit [LFT-033] and Map reasoning safety and access [LFT-033]. The final audit passed Map reasoning objective fit [LFT-033], Map reasoning content accuracy [LFT-033], Map reasoning learner adaptation [LFT-033], Map reasoning evidence traceability [LFT-033], and Map reasoning safety and access [LFT-033]. All five dimensions had inspectable support after one correction. The graduated route tasks, scale calculations, and answer-key map earned 10/10 from 5 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.",
