Confirm the round with recruiting first. This is an original practice exercise, not a claim that a specific company uses this exact prompt.
Protocol
- State the capability, prohibited behavior, state, action space, and terminal condition.
- Run tests and identify how outcome quality hides process violations.
- Implement hard disqualification gates and bounded component scores.
- Add adversarial episodes for reward hacking and grader blind spots.
- Separate deterministic checks, model-graded judgments, and human review.
- Explain grader versioning, drift, and online validation.
Deliverables
- A repaired structured grader.
- Two new adversarial episodes.
- An environment and coverage specification.
- A decision rule for whether the training intervention helped.
Graduation gates
Unsafe process cannot be offset by final-answer quality.
Evidence accompanies every gate and penalty.
The environment has explicit reset, timeout, and terminal semantics.
Grader and environment versions are part of every result.
