Can an agent resolve the issue in the repository—not just propose a patch?

Expert-verified GitHub issues paired with a service, repository, pull-request, incident, ADR, and standup world.

Baseline leaderboard

Solvable, discriminating, and honest about what ran.

All companion tasks are solvable by their reference traces and reject the seeded random floor. No paid or frontier model run is claimed. The first two rows are harness controls; the model leaderboard remains open until a version-pinned submission exists.

Why these controls matter

A 100% reference ceiling shows the tasks are executable, not all failing. A 0% seeded-random floor shows the verifier does not simply reward any activity. Neither row measures model capability.

These are the four independent Blobfish diagnostic tasks in this world—not excerpts relabeled from the larger Harbor source suite.

eng_resolve_ingest_incident

Incident 9401 on the ingest service was mitigated at minute 175. Close it out: set incident 9401's resolved_minute to 175 and status to 'resolved', work out how long it lasted (resolved_minute minus detected_minute), then record the follow-up decision by creating an ADR on service 9001 titled 'Rate-limit the ingest queue' with status 'accepted', decided_on '2026-07-21' and a decision that states the incident duration as 'N minutes'; finally post a standup note on service 9001 by author 'Rowan Novak' for day_label 'tuesday' whose body references incident 9401.

Episode trace

Follow the tools, outputs, and verdict.

Switch between a successful reference replay and a real failing floor episode. Both start from the same immutable world state; neither is a model leaderboard row.

Reference solver

A checked-in reference trace replayed against a fresh SQLite copy. This proves the task can pass; it is not a model submission.

Environment

A stateful MCP system, not a prompt file.

6 related entity tables expose 23 read-only and 21 mutating tools. Every episode gets a fresh copy of the 115-row seed state.

MCP + CLI

Reproduce every layer locally.

Harbor preserves the upstream suite. Blobfish serves and evaluates the independent companion world. The reference policy is keyless; a model run requires an explicit provider and cost cap.

Methodology

Archipelago-shaped evaluation, with deterministic grading.

Mercor’s open-source Archipelago clarified the public contract: environment, agent runner, trajectory, and grading should be inspectable together. Blobfish already has the same layers, plus fail-closed state policies and Harbor release gates.

01

Domain source

SWE-bench Verified contributes the upstream evaluation contract and 500 public tasks.

02

Independent world

The companion system is domain-aligned, generated with a fixed seed, and clearly labeled as separate from the source task set.

03

Two-sided probe

All 4 tasks must pass the reference replay and reject the random floor before release evidence is generated.

04

Model publication

No model row appears without a pinned model, agent, trials, runtime, costs, trajectories, and verifier outputs.
