Task requirements & full brief

The orchestrator runs one fresh Pi session per unit of work (bootstrap, build, review, replan, final review), keeps all state in the repository, and accepts a task only when the project's verify passes and a fresh reviewer agrees. No transcripts are published.

How to read this comparison

Compare the generated builds and the checks recorded for each attempt. There is no normalised quality score, and the cloud task’s cumulative token totals and end-to-end rate include repeated context, reasoning, tool calls and waiting — they are not comparable with local per-request decode or prefill rates. The method page sets out which figures can and cannot be set against each other.
