48-Hour Field Notes: The Sample Parsed. The Contract Was Still Python.

The 48-Hour Field Notes detail technical challenges encountered during development. One entry discusses a parser helper designed to read JSON objects from model text, comparing json.loads and ast.literal_eval after initial samples parsed locally. Another entry examines why jobs behave like previous versions despite correct diffs, identifying that processes may load old wheels from site-packages instead of new edits. These notes serve as a repeatable method for debugging rather than production benchmarks or customer outages.
