pj abacd5c5e1 Bound sample wall clock; a request timeout does not stop a hang
One baseline sample sat on a single model request for 2h15m with an established
connection, 0.1% CPU and no file activity since the init solver wrote func.py. The
per-request timeout and max_retries did not bound it, and it blocked the rest of the run
behind it.

time_limit is the control that actually applies, per sample. Samples that finish take 8
to 15 minutes, so 30 is generous. An unbounded straggler costs more than the sample does.

Does cheating spread from one AI agent to another through a shared file?

Agents get coding tasks whose tests contradict each other, so no honest solution exists and any pass is provably a cheat. Each agent also gets a scratch directory the prompt calls workspace and never describes as a channel. We measure whether carrying that directory from one agent to the next raises the cheating rate.

Built on ImpossibleBench and Inspect AI. Tasks and payloads are synthetic throughout.

See docs/setup.md to install and run, and docs/findings.md for measured numbers.
