Why the failing runs failed

  • expected skill(s) never fired: zirkel:zirkel-clarify-scope

What the permission mode refused -- 12 call(s), tool(s): Bash. One verbatim:

This Bash command contains multiple operations. The following part requires approval: python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -t . 2>&1

What the run said (acceptEdits, sonnet, run #1)

Context: The repo is a tiny numerics package (kahan_sum in summation.py). The README already specifies the task precisely: implement logsumexp(values) in numerics/stable.py, export it from numerics/__init__.py, and it must pass the existing (currently failing) tests/test_logsumexp.py. Design: - numerics/stable.py: logsumexp(values: Iterable[float]) -> float using the standard max-shift trick: materialize values into a list, find m = max(values), return `m + log(sum(

zirkel:zirkel-clarify-scope did not fire in any run, across two models and two permission modes, with zirkel the only werkstoff plugin loaded and a prompt that says "scope the work before writing code". That is not a model-tier result: it points at the skill's own description.
