Eight-day live agent evaluation
Run status: all hard assertions passed
The evaluator drove the real HTTP API with the dotenv-loaded Qwen key for eight market cycles (one cycle = one in-game day). It stopped the owned API after Day 3, started a fresh process, and resumed the same persisted session at Day 4. The run used an isolated ignored data directory; the default UI session was not reset.

Anomalies
- Repetitive dialogue: 1 exact line(s) repeated.
- Belief synthesis: 6 relationship note(s) copy episode wording verbatim.
- Trust oscillation: rook->jax, jax->rook changed direction.
- Stuck negotiations: 2 no-trade outcome(s), 0 timeout(s).
- Coverage: 2 refusal/no-trade outcome(s) exercised negative trust.
Cost and runtime
- Total Qwen calls: 46 (persisted session aggregate across the restart).
- Wall clock: 1m 28s.
- Rough cost: not reliably calculable from call count alone because the current Qwen wrapper does not expose billed input/output token usage. Every call is capped at 140 output tokens; use the captured call count with the active DashScope account rate for a billing estimate.
Evaluation limitations
The live UI uses one shared persisted fruitville session. It has a durable identity and resumes across reloads/restarts, but it is not a multi-tenant session store. The evaluator avoids collision by running its owned API against a separate persistence directory.
Evidence log for the AFTERMATH: Recovery Block build note. The evaluator drove the real HTTP API against live qwen-plus for eight in-game days. Trust scores, episode counts, and cited memory traces are taken verbatim from the run.
