Key takeaways · AI-distilled
Store candidate versions by hash with score, runtime, and external-validation status; the locally highest-scoring version is not always the best submission choice.
Share reusable optimization idioms while supplying each task only its relevant comments and a compact summary of other feedback.
Validate unknown candidates through grouped probes, isolate failures, and optimize the final selection under a total runtime constraint.

AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
Why it matters
Preserve multiple evaluated candidates and choose a submission under a runtime budget.
