Distilled from the completed GPT-6 Pro execution packet in the research conversation. Pro response metadata: gpt-6-pro; visible duration: 15m 10s. This is a design contract, not executed evidence. The original packet remains available in the ChatGPT document preview. The user authorizes local inference with zero API charges and wants an eligible monetary-prize submission; publication and entry claims must reflect actual state.
Single local coordinator, one site, and a Monday-start seven-day window; at most 20 volunteers, 12 shifts, three lowercase role codes, and 40 required assignments. Exact coverage, not surplus staffing. Missing availability means unavailable. Qualifications, overlap, workload caps, and pins are hard constraints. No messaging, payroll, recruiting, accounts, live calendar integrations, OCR, uploaded archives or URLs, recurring events, or cloud inference.
Python 3.12, FastAPI/static vanilla UI, Pydantic, Strands native Ollama, OR-Tools CP-SAT, and icalendar. Strict five-file input in fixed form slots, immutable canonical Case with record provenance, and hash-bound results, proposals, and approvals. Raw names, titles, and notes never enter model context; show escaped text only in UI. No generic path, shell, Python, HTTP, or browser tools.
models.py is the authoritative shared API and main-agent-owned. The domain worker owns ingest.py, solver.py, verify.py, diagnostics.py, fixtures, and domain tests. The UI worker owns only static/index.html, static/app.js, and static/styles.css. Main owns other files and integration.
Use the immutable types already in models.py. Return typed contracts; no filesystem or network side effects.
ingest.ingest_bundle(files: Mapping[str, bytes]) -> Case
ingest.validate_case(case: Case) -> Case
solver.solve_case(case: Case, baseline: tuple[Assignment,...] = (), *, time_limit: float =10.0, lower_bounds: frozenset[tuple[str,str]]|None =None, optimize: bool=True) -> SolverResult
verify.verify_assignments(case: Case, assignments: tuple[Assignment,...], baseline: tuple[Assignment,...]=()) -> Verification
diagnostics.diagnose_case(case: Case, *, max_calls: int=24, time_limit: float=30.0) -> Diagnosis
lower_bounds=None means all demanded coverage lower bounds; empty set means no lower bounds but all coverage UPPER bounds/pins/eligibility/caps/overlaps remain fixed. This matters to sound deletion-based conflict diagnosis. optimize=False is bounded pure feasibility. Model-invalid/error is not original-case infeasibility. Unknown/timeouts never become infeasible. Preserve a verified incumbent if a later objective phase times out.
Native agent context is now 32768 with a conservative byte ceiling. This is a local tuning change from the Pro packet's initial 8192 configuration, not a provider change.
Input slots are exactly case.json, volunteers.csv, shifts.csv, coverage.csv, and availability.csv. Case JSON fields are exactly schema_version, case_id, timezone, week_start, roles, and locks; each lock has exactly lock_id, volunteer_id, shift_id, and role. CSV headers are exactly:
- volunteers:
volunteer_id,display_name,roles,max_total_minutes,max_shifts - shifts:
shift_id,title,start,end - coverage:
shift_id,role,required_count - availability:
volunteer_id,shift_id,status,note
Volunteer roles are pipe-separated. Status is preferred, available, or unavailable. Notes alone may be blank. Reject duplicate headers, JSON keys, and records; unknown IDs, roles, enums, and fields; invalid UTF-8; extra cells; boolean or floating numeric values; NUL, control, and bidirectional formatting characters. CSV integers require explicit decimal parsing. IDs match the model regex; role codes match the model regex and declared role set. Bound each file at 256 KiB and the total at 1 MiB. Whole-minute offset-aware times must round-trip through the IANA zone; reject gaps and wrong offsets. Normalize UTC; the horizon is seven local days from Monday midnight. Half-open intervals allow adjacency. Bound total positive coverage to 1–40 and demand records, availability records, and locks to 36, 240, and 40 respectively; require at least one positive demand per shift. Sort canonical rows and preserve fixed-slot parsed-record provenance.
Hard model: Boolean x[v, s, r] for all demanded pairs. Eligibility is availability plus role; enforce exact coverage, one role per volunteer and shift, pairwise overlap, total duration at or below the minute cap, assignment count at or below the shift cap, and pins that force assignments but never override constraints. Phases are lexicographic: hard feasibility, replacements (old approved assignments missing), nonpreferred assignments, and pairwise sum of absolute minute differences. Freeze only proven OPTIMAL objectives; use a single worker, fixed seed, and stable creation; do not promise uniqueness under ties. Phase records report actual solver status.
Independent verify.py must NOT import solver helpers, ORTools,Strands. Recompute assignmenthash, IDs,duplicates,qualifications,availability,exactcounts,roles/shift,overlap,caps,pins and allmetrics fromcase andassignments. coverage keys are SHIFT:role; workload entries are {minutes, shifts}. preferred and non_preferred counts; replacements counts oldtriplesabsent; dispersion pairwise absolute minutes. Source refs and codes for all violations.
Diagnosis includes direct insufficient-eligible and pin-conflict findings, plus sole-eligible-volunteer capacity witnesses with independently checkable arithmetic. Otherwise use bounded deletion of required lower bounds while preserving fixed constraints and demand upper bounds. Check empty lower bounds first; report fixed_conflict if infeasible. Remove a lower bound only on proved INFEASIBLE; preserve it on UNKNOWN. Maximum 24 calls and 30 seconds. Always label sufficient unless all needed deletion tests are definitive; make no minimum-cardinality or formal-certificate claim. Facts have stable IDs, static codes, IDs, numbers, enums, and refs, never uploaded prose.

The parent server owns session state, CSRF, and approval tokens, and verifies worker results. The worker receives immutable case and baseline data with no approval capabilities. One active worker per session; eight model rounds, 12 tool calls, three solves or simulations, one malformed retry, and 180 seconds overall. Timeouts and edits cancel owned workers; reject late output by case hash and run ID. Model prose cannot create assignments. Display only real tool trace, canonical results and facts, and honest failure status. Owned Ollama on 11435 has cloud disabled; verify explicit local model tag and digest; client uses trust_env=False and follow_redirects=False; no fallback, remote providers, telemetry, CDN, or inherited credentials. Only kill owned processes. Preflight and tool tests are not proof that the actual app passed its own integration checks.
