The specialist was probing virtual /skills paths inside the VM shell, causing avoidable file errors before recovering. Clarify the instruction filesystem versus VM tools, and require analytical completion summaries and useful missing-input refusals without substitute reports or temporary-delivery promises. Sandbox permissions, model selection and export enforcement are unchanged.

The fresh live paired experiment used GPT-6.1 Sol at medium reasoning through the existing ChatGPT subscription on SmolVM: four cases per arm, one trial each. Both baseline 9b75233 and candidate 3d0bb71 passed 4/4, including a separately recorded regrade with PR #6's corrected evaluator. Each exported three verified bundles and one refusal. Virtual-skill shell mistakes fell from 4/4 baseline cases to 0/4 candidate cases. Both refusal trials already behaved correctly, so no refusal-quality improvement is claimed.

Baseline: 41 calls, 401,583 input / 10,325 output tokens, 372.663s summed latency. Candidate: 34 calls, 387,065 / 11,650 tokens, 408.103s. Total 75 calls; complete subscription usage; no paid API fallback, retry or credit purchase. Latency is descriptive, not a controlled speed comparison. Candidate energy recovered one incorrect workbook-sheet-name assertion before successful independent verification.

Baseline experiment · Candidate experiment. LangSmith read-back verified all eight run records and 26 additional versioned/behavioral feedback records; original feedback is preserved.

Validation: actual-graph skill-file/refusal regression passes; the initial guidance branch passed 188 tests with 15 optional skips. The underlying package's revised checks also pass, including six real source stores. Updated README and results preserve historical failures and state the limited scope. No production reliability, unfamiliar-domain or v0.0.1 release acceptance is claimed.

Builds on merged PR #6 and now targets main. Synchronization commit 648d41a preserves exactly the tested tree at 664e956; only Git ancestry changed. Full plan, identities, results and limitations are in docs/results-analysis-sandbox.md. Tracks INT-451 and INT-454.
