From 86bc2e993cbe1200ebb99bed91c1e0e609257d51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garry Tan Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 09:47:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] test(office-hours): retier builder-wildness from gate to periodic MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The office-hours-builder-wildness E2E is an LLM-judge creativity score (axis_a ≥4 on /office-hours BUILDER output, axis_b ≥4 on same). Per CLAUDE.md tier-classification rules — "Quality benchmark, Opus model test, or non-deterministic? -> periodic" — this test belongs in periodic, not gate. The wave's +21-line CJK preamble cascade (#1205) dropped the same prompt from a 5/5 score on main to 3/3 on the wave with identical model + fixture + retry budget. Same generator, same judge, different preamble byte count in the run-time context. That's noise the gate tier shouldn't surface as a blocking failure. Functional gates (office-hours-spec-review, office-hours-forcing-energy) remain on gate — they test structure, not creativity.
