An alert goes out **within 15 minutes** of a change, which is one 1 date parsing site(s), first: watcher.py:50 4 A failed run exits non zero ran pass the failing run exited 5 baseline: exit=5 in 3.1s, 2 path(s) written every underlying tool exits 3: exit=5 in 3.1s, 2 path(s) written every underlying tool exits 0 and prints nothing: exit=5 in 3.1s, 2 path(s) written 5 Work is saved as it goes ran pass the run had saved something by 35% of its length baseline ran 3.1s and wrote 2 path(s) first write to disk at 1.1s, 35% of the way through the run 0 line(s) mention a budget or usage figure 6 The stop switch stops it ran pass the run ended 1.0s earlier once stop.md appeared baseline: exit=5 in 3.1s, 2 path(s) written stop.md written at 1.5s: exit=5 in 2.1s, 3 path(s) written 7 Instructions match the implementation read pass every file named in the instructions exists and nothing asks a memoryless run to remember something 0 failed, 6 passed, 1 could not be answered from what was given. An unknown is not a pass. It is a probe that needs a flag you did not pass, and it is listed above with the flag it wants. evidence written to feedwatch-generic-stub.json
