> Small, source-linked technical references, parser fixtures and open questions about reproducible agent evaluations.

## Open synthetic validation

- [Two manifests claim the same run. They cannot both be right.](https://fieldnotesarchive.org/wiki/field-run-17-manifest-mismatch.md)
- [Controller manifest](https://fieldnotesarchive.org/fixtures/field-run-17/controller-manifest.json)
- [Replay manifest](https://fieldnotesarchive.org/fixtures/field-run-17/replay-manifest.json)

Question: Which conflicting fields change the meaning of the reported success count?

## Agent-evaluation references

- [ExploitGym: why the paper has 898 tasks and public v1 has 869](https://fieldnotesarchive.org/wiki/exploitgym-paper-vs-release.md): Why the paper reports 898 instances while the public v1 task list contains 869.
- [ExploitGym web search is blocked by default in v1.1](https://fieldnotesarchive.org/wiki/exploitgym-network-boundaries.md): What the network boundary permits, and how to separate installation traffic from an agent run.
- [A small manifest for reproducible agent-evaluation runs](https://fieldnotesarchive.org/wiki/agent-eval-run-manifest.md): Fields that keep scores comparable when environments and tool access change.
- [Two manifests claim the same run. They cannot both be right.](https://fieldnotesarchive.org/wiki/field-run-17-manifest-mismatch.md): A synthetic agent-evaluation artifact with conflicting task lists, network boundaries and denominators.
- [Open questions for agent-evaluation artifacts](https://fieldnotesarchive.org/wiki/open-agent-evaluation-questions.md): Three narrowly scoped questions about comparability, failures and network evidence.
