What this repository records

Only facts a file in this repository proves, with that file. Each run records its own harness version, binary hash, model, effort and plan; nothing on this page overrides a run.

  • CmdBench runner support exists (provider "codex", harness label "Codex CLI").Source: src/server.ts, src/runner/codex.ts
  • Approved harness build is Codex 0.159.2 (aarch64-apple-darwin), SHA-256 16593cc2f422d5f398a8e40f550ebbaf1245392528957be342c295920a300704; every attempt rechecks it.Source: docs/benchmark-contract-v2.md
  • Reference images are passed as native --image attachments in manifest order.Source: docs/benchmark-contract-v2.md, src/runner/codex.ts
  • Native video attachment is unavailable; a clip plus timed still frames is the declared transport.Source: docs/benchmark-contract-v2.md
  • Runner model constant is gpt-6.1-sol.Source: src/runner/codex.ts

Not recorded yet

  • harness version for cb-001 (spec allows 0.159.2 or 0.163.0; not decided)
  • plan used for runs (subscription or API)
  • usage fields reported (tokens, cost, plan usage)
