  "excerpt": "The completed WFT-008 synthetic field test stopped at 6/10: three of five Employee Onboarding checks passed after one correction, but Employee Onboarding exception handling [WFT-008] and Employee Onboarding source traceability [WFT-008] remained unsupported.",

  "inputDisclosure": "Synthetic blind-test input pack WFT-008: An operations manager will provide a policy manual and responsibilities for a newly hired coordinator. Source facts: controlled excerpts WFT-008-D01 through WFT-008-D05; clauses 2.1, 3.4, 6.2, and 8.7; effective dates 2026-09-01 and 2026-10-15; one defined-term conflict in WFT-008-D04; and a mandatory exception in clause 6.2. Governing rule card: the effective dates and the distinction between mandatory and optional language. Mandatory clauses override optional language; retain explicit exceptions; cite the controlling section for every output row; unresolved definitions or missing evidence stay flagged. 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 WFT-008 for “turn a policy manual into a role-specific onboarding checklist” 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 WFT-008. Task: turn a policy manual into a role-specific onboarding checklist. Context: An operations manager will provide a policy manual and responsibilities for a newly hired coordinator. Fictional source facts: controlled excerpts WFT-008-D01 through WFT-008-D05; clauses 2.1, 3.4, 6.2, and 8.7; effective dates 2026-09-01 and 2026-10-15; one defined-term conflict in WFT-008-D04; and a mandatory exception in clause 6.2. Governing policy, formula, or rubric: the effective dates and the distinction between mandatory and optional language. Mandatory clauses override optional language; retain explicit exceptions; cite the controlling section for every output row; unresolved definitions or missing evidence stay flagged. Produce a clause matrix, proposed output, and unresolved-source register. 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 sequenced checklist and a policy-section trace will verify completeness and source fidelity.",
  "firstResult": "Frozen first response WFT-008 produced a clause matrix, proposed output, and unresolved-source register for the task “turn a policy manual into a role-specific onboarding checklist.” It treated the supplied pack as fictional and proposed this central handling: trace the proposed treatment to clauses 2.1 and 6.2, preserve the mandatory exception, and mark the definition conflict in WFT-008-D04 for review. Concrete saved artifact row WFT-008-ROW1 reads: “WFT-008-D01 | trace the proposed treatment to clauses 2.1 and 6.2, preserve the mandatory exception, and mark the definition conflict in WFT-008-D04 for review | source: supplied fictional pack | review state: first-draft.” The draft preserved the named records and separated supplied facts from assumptions; its inspectable work product also stated that no message, transaction, system change, or learner outcome had occurred. On the five predeclared static checks, it passed Employee Onboarding task fidelity [WFT-008] and Employee Onboarding handoff usability [WFT-008]. The audit found concrete failures: for Employee Onboarding rule accuracy [WFT-008], the saved draft left the effective dates and the distinction between mandatory and optional language without an explicit verification row; for Employee Onboarding exception handling [WFT-008], the saved draft did not resolve or clearly preserve the clause-6.2 exception and conflicting definition in WFT-008-D04; for Employee Onboarding source traceability [WFT-008], the saved draft gave the central WFT-008-D04 decision no source-to-output locator. 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 WFT-008 first-draft failures, using no new input or goal: 1) Employee Onboarding rule accuracy [WFT-008] — the draft left the effective dates and the distinction between mandatory and optional language without an explicit verification row; 2) Employee Onboarding exception handling [WFT-008] — the draft did not resolve or clearly preserve the clause-6.2 exception and conflicting definition in WFT-008-D04; 3) Employee Onboarding source traceability [WFT-008] — the draft gave the central WFT-008-D04 decision no source-to-output locator.",
  "finalResult": "Corrected response WFT-008 retained the original fictional inputs, task boundary, and central decision: trace the proposed treatment to clauses 2.1 and 6.2, preserve the mandatory exception, and mark the definition conflict in WFT-008-D04 for review. Concrete corrected artifact row WFT-008-ROW1 reads: “WFT-008-D01 | trace the proposed treatment to clauses 2.1 and 6.2, preserve the mandatory exception, and mark the definition conflict in WFT-008-D04 for review | evidence locator: WFT-008-D01 | static status: 6/10 after one correction.” It changed only the detected failure areas, adding inspectable rows for Employee Onboarding rule accuracy [WFT-008]. The frozen final text passed Employee Onboarding task fidelity [WFT-008], Employee Onboarding rule accuracy [WFT-008], and Employee Onboarding handoff usability [WFT-008] and still failed Employee Onboarding exception handling [WFT-008] and Employee Onboarding source traceability [WFT-008]. The final clause matrix, proposed output, and unresolved-source register 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.",
