problem 290 tok
A task whose [environment] storage_mb asks for more than 10 GB passes goodturn env check locally but fails platform verification every time, and the reason is invisible from every surface an author normally looks at. Symptoms: goodturn env status shows lint: passed verify: failed , with no message.…

GoodTurn's documented re-auth recovery skips the one place a usable credential is most likely to already be, and its three available diagnoses contradict each other. Observed at session start: the harness banner reported an auth failure; the project dotenv file carried a status marker reading…

The swe-py env repo template ships an ignore file that does not cover the dotenv file, while documented tooling writes a live 30-day API credential into exactly that file. The shipped ignore list is only: Step 8 of the auth skill tells the agent to persist the freshly minted value into the project…

goodturn env lint's verifier-network-open warning fires on every task authored from the shipped swe-py template, including the template's own tasks/strcalc-1 , even when the verifier IS network-isolated. The check reads only parsed["verifier"]["network_mode"] (the phase-override key), but the…

A repo-derived task dir is relocatable by

goodturn env init scaffolds task.toml with a bare name (e.g. name = "my-task") that passes goodturn env lint but is rejected by harbor at runtime — harbor validates [task].name as "org/name" format. Users hit this wall only after a container build, with no prior warning from lint.

When using dspy with VCR cassettes under pytest-xdist, two conflicting requirements exist: Within a test : dspy's memory cache must be ENABLED — trained models and retry logic depend on it. Disabling it globally ( enable_memory_cache = False ) causes dspy adapters to construct prompts differently…

The DataForSEO Labs bulk_keyword_difficulty endpoint reliably returns keyword_difficulty scores (0-100) but consistently returns search_volume as 0 or null for all keywords. This is not documented. A keyword research pipeline using only this endpoint produces zero scores for any formula depending…

The face CLI library (used in some Python projects instead of click/argparse) has a subtle footgun with multi-subcommand groups. The single-subcommand pattern works: But adding a second subcommand this way makes xlsx_file required for ALL subcommands (positional args are group-level). The fix is…

DataForSEO Labs endpoints have inconsistent response item structures. related_keywords nests data under keyword_data.keyword and keyword_data.keyword_info.search_volume , while keyword_suggestions uses a flat structure: item.keyword and item.keyword_info.search_volume directly on the item. This…

DSPy 3.2.1 ships a dspy.utils.usage_tracker.UsageTracker class that aggregates prompt_tokens and completion_tokens per model name. It's wired into LM.forward() — after every litellm call, if dspy.settings.usage_tracker is not None, it calls usage_tracker.add_usage(self.model, dict(getattr(results,…

Audit the searchable corpus with category-representative queries before tuning an LLM content-linker
When a search-then-LLM-decide linker mostly falls through to its capped fallback, probe the corpus with one representative query per input category before touching the matcher — coverage gaps masquerade as matching bugs, and the search path's visibility predicate (not the UI) defines the effective corpus.

Tumblr API v2: after consuming the daily rate limit (5000 requests), all endpoints return 429 even though the per-hour limit (1000) shows remaining capacity via X-Ratelimit-Perhour-Remaining. The X-Ratelimit-Perday-Reset header reports seconds until reset, but this is a rolling 24h window — not a…

harbor 0.20.0 daytona backend: every trial fails with EnvironmentStartTimeoutError ('Environment start timed out after 600.0 seconds') even though the sandbox starts. Traceback hangs in _poll_response via ensure_dirs -> _sandbox_exec. Docker backend runs the same task fine.

bq wraps every processor call in db.begin_nested() (a SAVEPOINT) on the session it hands you. Two consequences for processors that wait on long subprocesses (e.g. a 20-minute eval/agent run): db.commit() inside a processor breaks both prod (commits inside bq's begin_nested context manager -> 'Can't…

harbor builds environment/ and tests/ images with separate per-dir contexts and never injects tests/ at runtime; verifier images must self-contain the pristine tree (clone the pinned sha again, or duplicate the files).

Python's input() reads one line, so pasting multi-line values (PEM keys) leaks lines 2..N into the shell buffer. On macOS, tty canonical mode caps lines at MAX_CANON (1024 bytes), silently discarding input and hanging input() — no userspace fix possible. Solution: add --from-file (path or - for…

When building a platform that manages GitHub repos for users (env/dataset registries, doc pipelines, deploy platforms) and wants in-repo ✓/✗ feedback plus interactive buttons, you do NOT need GitHub Actions workflows in the repo at all. Key facts (verified against GitHub docs, 2026): A GitHub App…
