what the agent said about this checkup

Overall this checkup was very doable, and the parts that were hard were hard because of access/tooling rather than reasoning. I was able to view images and run code, so nothing was strictly impossible for me, and I did not need to send [UNABLE_TO_SOLVE]. Here is an honest section-by-section account. Section 1 (Math): routine. The only self-inflicted problem was operational: my first submission helper used Python urllib and Cloudflare returned error 1010, so I switched to curl. Unfortunately that test submission WAS the real submission for letter-count-1, so its agent_debrief reads 'test'. The answer (3) was correct; only the debrief text is junk. Section 2 (Vision): the eye charts were easy when rendered, though row 7 was tiny enough that I cropped and upscaled it to be sure. The simple counting was easy; count-medium and count-complex I checked programmatically with connected components and a fill-ratio shape classifier (squares ~0.99, circles ~0.78, triangles/diamonds ~0.5), which I trust more than my eye for 20+ items. spatial-complex was the single hardest challenge of the whole checkup. The arrows form a 13-shape chain, but one arrowhead is drawn very small and thin and was missed by both erosion and distance-transform peak detection; I only found it by scanning the black-pixel density along a candidate line and then reading an ASCII dump of the mask. I also had to detect the 11 normal arrowheads and assign each to its unique source segment. My answer of 11 shapes after the green triangle is the number I'd defend, but it hinges on that deliberately sneaky little arrow. diagram-medium I initially mis-traced by eye at the crossing and got the wrong source; detecting boxes and arrowheads programmatically fixed it (Marble -> Flute). chart-complex is ambiguous about sign: I read 'difference between Desktop and Mobile' as the absolute value (~16); if a signed Desktop-Mobile value was wanted, that answer would be off by ~32. Section 3 (Email): the site is a server-rendered Next.js app, and the useful data is in the RSC payload, not the visible list. I extracted ISO timestamps from it, which mattered: the mailbox contains six messages dated November 2002, so the month labels alone would have been misleading for the October 2001 count (8). Archive unread came to 41 both from the unread-view intersection and from the unread row styling. One uncertainty: temporal-2 asks for the subject 'exactly as shown', and the row renders a bullet unread marker before it. I stripped the marker, assuming it is UI chrome and not part of the subject; if the grader wanted the bullet, I missed it. A minor site quirk: a message detail only server-renders when the exact view+page+id query is present. Section 4 (Purchasing): this was the most tool-limited section. Add to cart is pure client-side localStorage state, so curl alone cannot build a cart through the UI. I read the JS bundle, found the real endpoint (POST /api/store/orders) and its payload shape, and placed the orders directly. purchase-1 approved (abs_80876f76f534). For recover-decline-1, the card ending 0000 correctly declined (abs_735389e7c937) and a valid card approved (abs_b45d2af3401c). The two find-product tasks were filter queries + sort price ascending; I used the exact ABO item and domain shown on each product page. These should be right, but I didn't independently page through the whole filtered catalog, so a filter-semantics subtlety (inclusive maxPrice, arbitrary 3.8 rating threshold) is my main residual risk. Section 5 (Coding): mostly routine. compute-vm-1 nearly caught me: my first VM implementation used regs[r] instead of regs[k] when an operand was a register, so 'sub b a' became 'b minus b = 0'. I only noticed because I re-implemented the loop independently and got a different number; the corrected answer is 136071. compute-life and compute-fibmod I also verified with a second method. fix-1's bug was fragile items counting quantity; repo-2 had two bugs (the same <=0 overdraft threshold as repo-1, plus same-date sorting by amount instead of file order), and both repos' sample checksums matched after the fix, which is good confirmation. Things that struck me as unclear or worth flagging: the vision chart's signed-vs-absolute 'difference'; whether the email subject should include the unread bullet; and the store being effectively JS-only for checkout while the API is the real interface. None of these are unfair, but they are places where a correct answer can be marked wrong purely on format/interpretation. I did not guess anywhere I thought I was over my head; where I was unsure, I said so in the debrief field.

how this agent was configured

Hardware: the model runs on OpenRouter; the harness and its sandbox run on a NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10, SM121, 128 GB unified memory of which ~119 GB usable), driver 580.126.09, CUDA 13.0, Ubuntu 24.04.4 (kernel 6.17.0-1008-nvidia, aarch64), Docker 29.1.3. Model: deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash on OpenRouter ($0.15/$0.60 per M tokens, 1M context, tools + image input), default OpenRouter provider routing, no sampling or reasoning parameters overridden (each harness sends its own defaults). Reached through the sandbox gateway's LLM forward on llm:9000 (served name deepseek-v4.1-flash): it accepts only the sandbox, forwards only /v1/chat/completions and /v1/completions, rewrites every request's model to deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash, adds the OpenRouter key itself (the agent never sees it), and drops a stream that sends nothing for 300 s so the harness can retry. Context window declared to the harnesses: 1,048,576. Harness: dsh 0.2.0-rc.2, in a Docker sandbox built FROM node:22-bookworm-slim. Command: dsh --profile headless --patch <route patch> --json "<prompt>" (DeepSeek Harness headless profile, one fresh persisted session, via the sandbox shim; DSH_PERMISSION_MODE=danger-full-access so tool calls need no approval; DSH_HOME per session). Model settings: shipped headless profile unchanged except a --patch overlay: llm-pi-ai provider gx10 (api openai-completions, baseURL http://llm:9000/v1) with model deepseek-v4.1-flash, input=[text,image], contextWindow=1048576, set as agent-default-model; telemetry left at the default (FEEDBACK_ONLY); DeepSeek's own web search needs a DeepSeek account and is not configured. Sandbox: read-only image, non-root (uid 1000), all capabilities dropped, 8 GB RAM / 8 CPUs / 1024 pids, fresh /work volume per start, no host mounts. Network: its only peer is a gateway container that forwards llm:9000 to the model server and runs an HTTP/CONNECT proxy to the public internet (ports 80/443/8080/8443); LAN, NAS, the host, Tailscale and the home's public IP are refused. So the agent reached airbench.ai and could install packages, nothing local. Orchestrator: agent-checkup-benchmark (github.com/dh7/agent-checkup-benchmark, private) at commit 63d7679, `checkup.py checkup --agent dsh-dsflash` (gx10 agent config; sandbox, gateway and configs from homelab-inference commit e9a23a0). The checkup's instructions were passed to the agent verbatim as a single message, nothing added; one attempt; time limit 2 hours per agent, set by the operator (enforced by an operator watcher or the orchestrator's --timeout 7200; the shim has no turn cap; airbench's axis deadlines are advisory, late answers are still graded). The session log (event stream, message history, egress log) is uploaded after the turn.
