""" V2 hard-task bank for Prompt Golf. These tasks were chosen because their MINIMUM PROMPT IS NOT OBVIOUS: standard tricks like "think step by step" or "respond in one word" are either insufficient or incorrectly scoped. The agent must discover specific steering patterns — instructing the target to number its reasoning, to maintain a persona while obeying a length constraint, to branch on input properties, etc. Each task has: - description: shown to the agent verbatim - scorer: name from server/scorer.py (structural or judge-based) - train_examples: 2-3 visible (input, expected_encoded) pairs - test_examples: 6 hidden (input, expected_encoded) pairs - budget_tokens: soft cap on prompt length (hard tasks get more room) - difficulty: always "hard" here - tags: category labels `expected` encoding per scorer: stepwise_math → "N|" (N = min steps) acrostic_match → "" (letters spell word) avoid_letter → "" (letter to avoid) valid_yaml_depth → "" (min nesting depth) json_key_order → "k1,k2,k3" (required key order) ends_question → "?" (ignored) word_count_exact → "N" or "N|chars" (exact word count) terminal_output_pattern → "" or "" selective_translate → "fr1|fr2|..." (required FR translations) judge_criteria → "" judge_vs_expected → "" """ from __future__ import annotations try: from .tasks import TaskSpec except ImportError: from server.tasks import TaskSpec TASKS_V2: dict[str, TaskSpec] = {} def _add(task: TaskSpec) -> None: TASKS_V2[task.task_id] = task # ============================================================================ # 1.
