Failure gallery

How each configuration fails

Aggregate success hides why episodes fail. Every failed episode is classified into one failure mode from its validator checks and runtime counters, and up to three recorded traces per mode are kept as examples.

Failure modes by configuration

Each failed episode is assigned the first matching mode in the order listed (malformed output takes precedence over a hallucinated tool, and so on), so modes are mutually exclusive. Counts are over all main-split episodes of the seed-0 evaluation run.

    To find the statuses of orders ORD-56452 and ORD-13248, I will first search for orders with those IDs using the `get_orders` function. Then, I will retrieve the statuses for each order.

Let's start by searching for orders with ID 56452 and 13248.

    To solve this, I'll first calculate 17 times 36, then add 478 to the result.

Therefore, 17 times 36 plus 478 equals 1090.
