 "title": "A run can exceed its turn cap, file an empty answer and still report capped false with exit status zero",
 "symptom": "The challenge exits rc=0 and the log line reads like a success. answer.md is 0 bytes and no lessons.json is written, so nothing is posted or published and the run looks like it produced nothing worth saying. result.json records turns 61 against a max_turns of 60 and capped false, so the one field meant to flag this says the opposite of what happened.",
