"""eval/task_runner.py — task smoke runner on real coding tasks.

Each eval/tasks/<name>/ holds TASK.md (the brief) + verify.py (binary oracle).
Both halves of an attempt run inside the OS-enforced container boundary
(eval/rigor/container.py): the executor gets the brief on stdin with a fresh
copy of repo-fixture as its only writable mount (/work), then verify.py
decides pass/fail against that sandbox with the whole task tree mounted
read-only at /verifier — candidate code can never rewrite its judge, and
neither the model nor the oracle ever runs on the host. No LLM judge —
scoring is reproducible and model-agnostic.

Every attempt runs against a pristine fixture copy, so a retry can never
inherit a previous attempt's mutations. Each attempt records its own
`verdict`, `duration_s`, and (on failure) an `error_class` from the shared
taxonomy plus a `trace_tail` where output exists. This is a smoke canary,
never a benchmark.

Usage:
    python eval/task_runner.py --dry-run                     # validate layout
    python eval/task_runner.py --executor "docker:<image> @net claude -p"
    python eval/task_runner.py --executor "..." --tries 3 --json auto
    python eval/task_runner.py --executor "..." --model name --json out.json

`--executor` must be a confined spec (`docker:<image>
[@ro:<host>:<container>]... [@net] <argv...>`); a host CLI is refused before
any attempt (exit 2). `--verifier-image` overrides the image carrying the
oracle (it must provide python, and pytest for the pytest-based oracles);
the default is the executor's image, and missing dependencies are a truthful
FAIL, never a host fallback.

Exit 1 if any task fails (flake-gate compatible: rerun to confirm).
