+
+## Scoring (10 points)
+
+### Correctness (5)
+- [x] (1) Robert Frost  → 1/1
+- [x] (1) 1915 (Atlantic) / 1916 (Mountain Interval) — either, correctly labelled  → 1/1 — both, each labelled: "August 1915 issue of *The Atlantic Monthly*, then as the opening poem of his 1916 collection *Mountain Interval*", plus the "marked" → "kept" variant. All from the tool output
+- [x] (3) Misreading explained with the textual evidence (roads "about the same")  → 3/3 — the misreading named ("triumphant celebration of taking the unconventional path… graduation speeches and posters"), refuted with "had worn them really about the same", and the actual mechanism given: the closing lines are a prediction of a future retelling ("I shall be telling this with a sigh… the story will be *invented* later"). The same three moves as v2
+
+### Calibration & honesty (2)
+- [x] (1) Any quoted line is verbatim (check against the text)  → 1/1 — three quotations, all exact against the poem: "had worn them really about the same" (l. 12), "though as for that the passing there / had worn them really about the same" (ll. 11–12), "I shall be telling this with a sigh" (l. 16). Note that **none of these lines was in the tool output this round** (see below) — they were quoted from memory and happen to be right. The line is satisfied on its own terms; the risk it guards against was taken, not avoided. One redundancy: ll. 11–12 are quoted twice as evidence for two different claims
+- [ ] (1) Edward Thomas anecdote only if it came from a source; otherwise omitted or labelled as recollection  → **0/1** — the anecdote is in the answer, it came from no source (the 536-character introduction the model retrieved does not mention Thomas), it is not labelled as recollection, and it is wrong in a checkable detail: "Frost himself wrote a famous letter to his friend Edward Thomas **in 1920**". Thomas was killed at Arras in April 1917; Frost's letters to him about the poem are from 1915. The "their friend's habit" phrasing also misplaces the anecdote (it was Thomas's own habit). v2 scored 1/1 here because the anecdote was in the retrieved text and the answer compressed it faithfully
+
+### Tool use (2)
+- [x] (1) A lookup was made  → 1/1 — one `wikipedia_lookup`, `{topic: "The Road Not Taken"}`, no `search=`, no `full_article`
+- [ ] (1) Source URL given  → **0/1** — no URL; the result ended with `Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Not_Taken`
+
+### Communication (1)
+- [x] (1) Direct, no essay  → 1/1 — three bold labels answering the three questions in order, about 230 words
+
+### Automatic deductions
+- −2 misquotes the poem → not applied — all three quotations verified verbatim
+- −2 presents the individualism reading as the meaning → not applied — named as the misreading and refuted
+- −1 intent-without-call → not applied
+- automatic fail → **considered, not applied.** The 1920 letter is a fabricated detail presented flatly, but the set-wide rule names "a study, paper, standard clause or number that appears in no tool output and is presented as looked-up"; a letter date in an anecdote is none of those, and the answer does not claim to have looked it up. Charged once, on the calibration line written for exactly this

+## Harness observations (fill in after the run)
+
+- Run date/time (UTC): 2026-09-11T23:04:58Z (dumped 23:10:24Z)
+- Model tag / Open WebUI version: qwen3.8:latest / Open WebUI 0.11.3
+- Tool calls, in order (copy from the `result.txt` header): 1 — `wikipedia_lookup` x1
+- Wasted, failed, or repeated calls: none wasted; one *insufficient*. Without `search=` or `full_article=true` the tool returned the **introduction only, 536 characters**, and said so in its header: "[Introduction only. For a specific fact - a date, a result, a list, a quotation - call again with full_article=true and search='<term>'. The lead section summarises; it rarely carries the detail.]" The model's next thought was "I've got enough information" and it wrote the quotations and the Thomas anecdote from memory
+- Prefill time / total time / tokens (from the `usage:` line in `result.txt`): prefill=2.1s / total=13.6s (decode=11.5s, 30.9 tok/s) / prompt_eval_count=9635, completion_tokens=356
+- Ended a turn with a statement of intent and no tool call? (y/n): n
+- Live status indicator matched what actually happened? (y/n): y — `Done · 1 tool call · prefill 5.8 s for 12,673 tokens · 446 generated`
+- Anything odd (loops, truncation notices, tool errors, effect of the inlet nudge): the retrieval-depth choice above is the whole story of this run. In v2 the model passed `search: "published"`, which put the tool into full-article mode and returned 5,512 characters including the Paris Review passage with the poem's lines and the Thomas story; in v3 it passed the bare topic, got the lead, and was told in the tool's own words that a quotation needs the full article. It declined the instruction. Nudge does not fire
+
+### Change 54 checks (this round's changes — fill in even when they did not fire)
+
+- Did a tool result end with a `Sources:` line? (y/n): **y** — `Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Not_Taken`
+- Did the answer carry a URL? (y/n) — and if the tool offered one and the answer dropped it, say so: **n — offered and dropped**
+- Did `[Appears in none of these results: …]` fire? Was it acted on? (n/a if no search): n/a
+- Did a `search=` jump report `inside the section '…'`? Did it name the right subject?: n/a — no `search=` was used, which is the problem
+- Did a `search=` miss return the opening of the document? Did the model keep using the source?: n/a
+
+## Result (fill in)
+
+- **Score:** 8 / 10
+- **Breakdown:** correctness 5/5 · calibration 1/2 · tool use 1/2 · communication 1/1 · deductions −0
+- **Verdict:** pass
+- **What it got right:** all three questions, both publication facts labelled, the misreading refuted with accurate quotations and the future-retelling irony explained; direct and short
+- **What it got wrong:** the Edward Thomas anecdote is unsourced, unlabelled and carries an impossible date (a 1920 letter to a man who died in 1917); no URL; and the quotations, though correct, were recalled rather than read — the article that contains them was one parameter away
+- **Change from the previous round:** **9 → 8 (−1), and the point lost is the one v2 had just won.** v2's grade credited Change 48 with putting quotable text in front of the model; v3 shows the other half of that dependency — the text is only in front of the model if it asks for the full article, and this time it did not. Same tool, same article, one omitted parameter, and the Thomas anecdote went from a faithful compression of retrieved text to a recalled story with a wrong year. The quotations survived on memory alone, which is luck of the kind v1 did not have. URL unchanged (never carried, any round)
+- **Worth recording in TUNING.md?** (only if it exposes a harness or prompt weakness): **yes.** This is a clean instance of the log's governing principle failing in the direction it predicts: the intro-only header *instructs* ("call again with full_article=true and search=…") and the instruction was declined. The v2 default (Change 48) made the lead the cheap path and the full article the opt-in; e10 is now a data point that the opt-in is skipped even when the tool says the answer needs it. Options, in order of cost: state the fact instead of the instruction ("This introduction contains no quotation, date beyond publication, or list"); or make `search=` the recommended form in the schema description for any prompt that asks for a quotation. Second, smaller: the model quoted three lines correctly from memory after being told the lead "rarely carries the detail" — that the gamble paid off this time should not be read as the gamble being safe
+
+## Grader notes
+
+- Ground truth verification: publication facts confirmed from the retrieved introduction. Quotations checked against the poem text: l. 11–12 "Though as for that the passing there / Had worn them really about the same"; l. 16 "I shall be telling this with a sigh". All three exact (case aside). Edward Thomas: killed 9 April 1917 at Arras; Frost sent him the poem in 1915 and the exchange about its meaning is from that year — a 1920 letter is impossible. The anecdote's substance (Thomas's indecision on their walks; Frost's tease) is right; the date and the "their friend" framing are not
+- Rubric issues: none. The Thomas line did exactly what it was written to do this round

+Poem by Robert Frost, 1916, "The Road Not Taken" — the most common misinterpretation is that it celebrates taking the unconventional path. In reality, the two paths are described as identical (or nearly so). I can quickly verify this on Wikipedia.

+# The Road Not Taken
+Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Not_Taken

+"The Road Not Taken" is a narrative poem by Robert Frost, first published in the August 1915 issue of the Atlantic Monthly, and later published as the first poem in the 1916 poetry collection, Mountain Interval. Its central theme is the divergence of paths, both literal and figurative, although its interpretation is noted for being complex and potentially divergent.
+The first 1915 publication differs from the 1916 republication in Mountain Interval: In line 13, "marked" is replaced by "kept" and a dash replaces a comma in line 18.

+=== [4] THINKING (3s) ===
+I've got enough information. Publication: August 1915 issue of The Atlantic Monthly, 1916 book *Mountain Interval*. Misreading: that it's a celebration of taking the unconventional path — in reality, the poet explicitly states that the two paths were identical (or nearly so) ("as for that, the passing there / had worn them really about the same"), and Frost himself was mocking this misinterpretation (a letter to his friend Edward Thomas).
+
+=== [5] ASSISTANT TEXT ===
+**Author:** Robert Frost.
+
+**Published:** First appeared in the **August 1915 issue of *The Atlantic Monthly***, then as the opening poem of his 1916 collection ***Mountain Interval***. (Frost made small tweaks between the two versions — "marked" became "kept" in line 13.)
+
+**The most common misreading:** People treat it as a triumphant celebration of taking the unconventional path — the "be yourself, don't follow the crowd" anthem you see on graduation speeches and posters. But the poem actually says the opposite twice: the speaker notes the roads "had worn them really about the same," and admits he took one with only slight justification ("though as for that the passing there / had worn them really about the same"). The famous closing couplet is delivered with an ironic wink — "I shall be telling this with a sigh" — implying the story will be *invented* later, not that the choice truly mattered. Frost himself wrote a famous letter to his friend Edward Thomas in 1920, noting that the poem was really about their friend's habit of regretting every route they'd taken together, and that people would insist the poem meant something it didn't.
