"""SN99 agent v17b: sample-gated ladder + dual-oracle stress.
Escalate a cheap ladder until statement samples pass, then (budget allowing) stress
against two independent references before banking. Design notes stay in comments.
"""

# v17b -- SilentByte ladder spine + beyondyourself dual-oracle stress, without encoder routing.
#
# WHY NO HEAD ROUTING HERE.
#   Agent code runs under confine RLIMIT_AS (~2GB). Loading the pinned encoder pulls torch and
#   OpenBLAS can exit(1) the guest (SilentByte measured: 12 attempts, 0 uploads). The harness
#   router path (v17a) owns the encoder; this agent path must not touch it. Weights still ship
#   (velev RouterHead bytes) so the chain bundle hash binds source+weights; they are not read
#   for routing.
#
# PHASE A -- SAMPLE-GATED LADDER (SilentByte).
#   harness.verifier_ok only checks shape, so a wrong-but-well-formed draft never escalates.
#   Run the draft on the statement's own samples (exact token compare). Escalate model/effort
#   only while samples fail. Medium effort on luna first; gemini then kimi. Floors (non-code)
#   get one cheap call.
#
# PHASE B -- DUAL-ORACLE STRESS (our v16 delta), only after samples pass and budget remains.
#   Ask for an independent reference+generator; admit only if the reference reproduces samples.
#   On disagreement, admit a second reference; repair only if both agree. This catches wrong
#   algorithms that still pass the tiny samples, without the false-repair tax of a lone oracle.
#
# PRECISION ADDENDUM on tolerance problems only (measured abc392-class exact-string grading).
# UNIQUE BUILD MARK so sibling seats do not cluster as behavioral duplicates.
# NO PER-TASK CONTENT.
