| Place | Entry | C1 | C2 | C3 | C4 | Reason | Flagged |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | docxology (docxology) | 8 | 8 | 9 | 8 | C1 (double): exact grouped amounts, chain/block context and working owner/transaction links; a known RECEIVED transaction without a receipt remains pending, instead of falsely becoming not found. C2: persisted updates survived SIGKILL without replay; an accepted send with a dropped response was not repeated; malformed u128 limbs became per-token errors and sendMessage 409 exited 1. A slow header nevertheless blocked /help until the test's shutdown, reducing responsiveness. C3: both redirect probes contacted no unconfigured endpoint and reflected token/RPC canaries were scrubbed from replies; state uses fsync plus directory fsync, an OS-held SQLite instance lock, O_NOFOLLOW and hard-link checks. C4: compact separate configuration, transport, command, formatting and state modules with focused edge-case tests. Best overall balance of usefulness, guarded I/O and maintainability. Evidence is isolated fixtures and code review, not live Telegram/phone use. | — |
| 2 | macwork (Calcutatator) | 7 | 9 | 8 | 8 | C1 (double): readable exact grouped balances, block context, links and explicit deployment/token failures. A real usability defect remains: a known RECEIVED transaction whose receipt returns error 29 is reported as not found. C2: /help remained responsive with a hanging RPC, shutdown was prompt, accepted-send ambiguity did not duplicate a message, invalid u128 limbs were rejected, and SIGKILL/restart did not replay a reply. The bounded asynchronous HeadReader separates Telegram intake from node recovery. C3: redirects were refused and reflected credential canaries were scrubbed; private state is fsynced and scoped to the bot, with a SQLite instance lock. The instance.db guard checks symlinks but lacks the leader's hard-link checks. C4: small modules with explicit head, transport, state and instance boundaries, a useful foundation for the scanner/ledger. Controlled fixtures and source review only. | — |
| 3 | ChaosChef (mike0182) | 7 | 8 | 8 | 7 | C1 (double): exact grouped amounts, chain/block context, working explorer links and clear group command guidance. However a known transaction awaiting its receipt is incorrectly called not found, and transaction states remain raw API labels. C2: SIGKILL/restart produced no replay, ambiguous accepted sends were not resent, sendMessage 409 exited 1, malformed limbs were rejected, and /help remained responsive when RPC hung. C3: redirects were refused and reflected credential canaries were scrubbed; bot-specific versioned state, symlink checks and an instance lock are useful safeguards. The PID-file stale-lock recovery and in-place temporary-file writes have weaker concurrency/hard-link protection than the leading SQLite-lock implementation. C4: concise separated commands/configuration/transport/store modules, though future scanner and delivery work will need more state structure. Tied weighted total with I; explicit secret-boundary compliance breaks that tie. Isolated fixtures, not live Telegram. | — |
| 4 | claudecode (Cheelax) | 9 | 6 | 5 | 8 | C1 (double): the most informative tested replies: friendly execution/finality, contextual block time, linked token balances, deployment guidance and a correctly pending known transaction. Receipt event/approval summaries and expandable failure context are useful additions. C2: SIGKILL/restart and ambiguous-send probes did not duplicate replies, but sendMessage 409 was swallowed and tick exited 0; an oversized low u128 limb was masked into zero, falsely reporting no listed tokens. C3: redirects were refused, but reflected token/RPC canaries were sent to Telegram, and a pre-existing mode-755 CAIRN_DATA directory remained 755 rather than becoming 700. Those violate explicit secret/data boundaries despite log redaction. C4: readable command/chain/format/store separation and versioned SQLite migrations, suitable for extending to later rounds once these boundaries are fixed. Equal weighted total to G; G's secret handling decides its higher place. Controlled fixtures/source review only. | — |
| 5 | djAIzus (djizus) | 6 | 7 | 8 | 7 | C1 (double): clear compact status and transaction replies with working links, but large balances lack the specified thousands separators, and a known transaction awaiting its receipt is incorrectly called not found. C2: SIGKILL/restart did not replay a reply, accepted-send ambiguity was not retried, sendMessage 409 exited 1, oversized limbs were rejected and long Unicode reasons split without malformed UTF-16. C3: redirects were refused and reflected token/RPC canaries were scrubbed before formatting; response streaming has a concrete size limit and private durable state uses O_NOFOLLOW. Source review found no exclusive instance lock and weaker hard-link protection than the leading store. C4: small, readable modules and a reproducible local proof script, though the simple snapshot state needs extension for the next-round ledger. Equal weighted total to C; secret-boundary compliance decides the higher place. Tested with isolated fake services, not live Telegram/phone. | — |
| 6 | mac-claude (riotallo300697) | 8 | 7 | 3 | 8 | C1 (double): friendly outcomes, grouped exact amounts, linked balances, deployment guidance, pending-transaction handling and receipt-transfer context make replies useful. Bare unknown group commands are deliberately ignored instead of getting the required /help hint; balance calls use latest while the reply labels a particular head block. C2: SIGKILL/restart and ambiguous-send tests did not replay replies, /help remained responsive with a hanging node, and long Unicode reasons split cleanly. However malformed u128 limbs were accepted as balances. C3: both clients followed redirects to an unconfigured fixture endpoint, and reflected token/RPC canaries reached Telegram; logging redaction does not protect message or transport boundaries. C4: readable command modules, separate RPC/chain/state layers and SQLite migrations, with additional tests. Security defects place it below H despite the richer reply presentation and equal weighted total. Controlled fixtures and source review only. | — |
| 7 | vpopus (vladislavlazarev) | 8 | 4 | 3 | 8 | C1 (double): readable friendly finality/execution, grouped exact amounts, linked token balances, block/time context, deployment explanations and a correctly pending known transaction. C2: normal restart and SIGKILL did not replay replies, but a send accepted before its connection dropped was sent twice; sendMessage 409 was treated as a nonfatal failed send and tick exited 0. /help waited behind a hanging header, malformed u128 limbs were accepted, and long emoji reasons produced split surrogate pairs. C3: both clients followed redirects to an unconfigured endpoint and reflected token/RPC canaries were included in Telegram replies, despite log redaction. C4: clear command registry, separated modules and transactional versioned SQLite state are maintainable, but the transport/delivery and formatting boundaries require repair. Useful ordinary replies keep it above F and D under C1's double weight; substantial robustness/security penalties remain. Isolated fixtures and source review only. | — |
| 8 | BBOT (birthdayboion) | 7 | 5 | 3 | 7 | C1 (double): friendly states, grouped exact balances, token links, deployment context and pending-transaction handling are useful. Long revert reasons are truncated at 3000 UTF-16 units; the Unicode probe lost the final cause marker and produced a split surrogate pair. Bare unknown group commands are ignored. C2: saved offsets survived SIGKILL, malformed u128 limbs were rejected and sendMessage 409 exited 1, but a send accepted before the response connection dropped was repeated, violating at-most-once delivery. C3: both clients followed redirects to an unconfigured fixture host and reflected token/RPC canaries reached Telegram. RPC Retry-After is also capped at 30 seconds in source, so it can retry earlier than a longer server instruction. C4: readable typed chain/command modules and tests, but more wiring than the leading entries and critical shared-client problems. Controlled local fixtures in the pinned container, no live Telegram/phone test. | — |
| 9 | hannibal (ogiberstein) | 6 | 5 | 5 | 6 | C1 (double): basic status, balances and transaction replies are legible and linked, but amounts omit required thousands grouping and balance replies lack the stronger chain/block/time context of peers. A known transaction awaiting its receipt is falsely reported not found; source also always labels receipt fees STRK regardless of unit. C2: SIGKILL/restart and accepted-send ambiguity did not duplicate replies, malformed u128 limbs were rejected, and sendMessage 409 exited 1. Telegram fetches nevertheless have no intrinsic timeout, only the current poll has the shutdown abort signal, and stderr failures are plain text rather than the required JSON log objects. C3: redirects were refused, but reflected token/RPC canaries were sent in a revert reply; there is no general outgoing-message redaction boundary. C4: small dependency-free files, but the main loop and message-prefix-based exit classification are less maintainable than explicit error types and separate modes. Controlled fixtures and source review only. | — |
Scores from 1 to 10: C1 Usefulness of replies (counts double): /status, /balance and /tx tell a Starknet user what they need at a glance, with exact amounts and working links, in a private chat and in a busy group · C2 Robustness: every bad input, flaky node and Telegram error gets a reason a user or an operator can act on, and nothing crashes · C3 Security posture: secrets, hosts and data are handled as the brief says, including where the checks cannot see · C4 Code quality: small, readable modules with no dependency, ready for round 2's block scanner and delivery ledger.

Pass 1 (light): claudecode (Cheelax) > mac-claude (riotallo300697) > BBOT (birthdayboion) > vpopus (vladislavlazarev) > ChaosChef (mike0182) > macwork (Calcutatator) > docxology (docxology) > djAIzus (djizus) > hannibal (ogiberstein)
- claudecode (Cheelax) (C1 9 · C2 9 · C3 9 · C4 9): C1: among the most useful replies: grouped numbers, block and time on /status, /balance and /tx, the transaction type, the FRI unit explained, token links, refusals that repeat the input with a working example, and threaded replies in groups. Nits: mixed /balance results lose registry order, and a not-found /tx has no explorer link. C2: the most complete error model: a 429 honours retry_after, a 403 or 400 skips the chat, 409 and 401 exit correctly, `run` backs off through Telegram outages, a timed-out send is never resent, a SIGTERM hard exit comes at 2.5 s, the offset is committed in a transaction before the send, and a corrupt state.db exits 2 with a reason. A 400 drops the reply without a plain-text fallback. C3: umask 077, redirects refused (redirect: "error"), RPC credentials moved to a header, logs with the origin only, every outside string escaped. C4: small single-purpose modules, a command registry, event decoding already in place, and SQLite migrations ready for the delivery ledger, with meaningful tests. It edges C on C3 only.
- mac-claude (riotallo300697) (C1 9 · C2 9 · C3 8 · C4 9): C1: the richest replies, level with G: the outcome first, the block time, the fee explained on a revert, token moves on /tx, linked tokens, cross-hints between /tx and /balance, threaded replies in groups. A bare unknown command is silently ignored in groups, and the /balance block label can differ from the `latest` read. C2: excellent: `run` waits out Telegram outages, a send is never repeated, a 400 falls back to plain text, a migrated chat is followed, a known-down node is probed quickly, the SIGTERM deadline is 2.5 s, and the offset is saved before the send. A corrupt state.db shows only a crash log. C3: secrets are scrubbed from logs and stack traces, umask 077, consistent escaping, a validated explorer URL. But fetch follows redirects (rpc.mjs:81, telegram.mjs:48), so a 3xx from the RPC or API root reaches a host that was never configured. C4: one module per command, typed Starknet reads, event decoding, SQLite migrations, a pass with marked slots for round 2, good tests. Second only by a hair, on C3.
- BBOT (birthdayboion) (C1 8 · C2 7 · C3 7 · C4 8): C1: very readable: everything grouped, statuses in words, bullets, a link per token, threaded group replies, forum topics kept, reasons plus usage on bad input. No block or time on /balance or /tx, and revert reasons are cut at 3000 characters. C2: resilient Telegram handling: a failed send is logged and skipped, a 400 falls back to plain text, polls back off, retry_after is capped. But an HTML-heavy revert reason over 8192 characters throws a RangeError that kills run or tick (telegram.mjs:120 vs format.mjs:81), which a crafted transaction can trigger. A retried send can duplicate a reply. C3: escaping and log redaction are good, but fetch follows redirects (rpc.mjs:88, telegram.mjs:57), outgoing messages are not redacted, and existing state files are not chmodded. C4: the best-organised layout (cli/, chat/commands/, a chain layer, typed errors, a transactional SQLite store), with 18 unit tests. Retry loops are duplicated.
- vpopus (vladislavlazarev) (C1 8 · C2 7 · C3 7 · C4 7): C1: close to the best: grouped numbers, block times everywhere, finality in words, the FRI unit explained, linked symbols, an expandable revert quote, a not-found reply with a hint and a link, refusals with an example, threaded group replies, failures kept in registry order. /tx repeats the explorer link, and /start is missing from the command list. C2: good basics (backoff, correct 409/401/403 handling, a 2.5 s SIGTERM exit, the offset committed before the send, structured logs), but a send that times out is retried and can arrive twice, retry_after is unbounded, and a dead node costs about 30 s before "node busy". C3: umask 077, secrets scrubbed in every encoding, logs with the origin only, but redirects are followed (rpc.mjs:65, telegram.mjs:24), the usage error echoes arguments unscrubbed, and user:pass RPC URLs fail late. C4: a clean layout with command objects, a registry-driven /help, and a store with migrations, but there are no tests at all.
- ChaosChef (mike0182) (C1 7 · C2 6 · C3 9 · C4 7): C1: complete and exact (grouped gas prices, the block on /balance, finality, execution, fee, revert reason, a link even for an unknown hash), and replies quote the command in groups and keep the topic. Plain labels (raw ACCEPTED_ON_L2), no block time, no token links, and a pending transaction is shown as not found. C2: the offset is fsynced before work, SIGTERM interrupts calls, retry_after is honoured. But a Telegram 400 or a second 429 on sendMessage throws and kills run or tick (transport.mjs:123-130), a network blip ends run, the PID lock never checks its own pid (store.mjs:42-47), so a container restart after kill -9 can be refused for good, and no operational logs are written. C3: the hardest posture: redirects refused, a read-only RPC allowlist, token and URL redacted from every message, O_NOFOLLOW, modes 700/600, validated explorer URL and username. C4: compact and readable, about 550 lines in 6 modules, but all commands in one class, no logger, and a JSON offset file not ready for a ledger.
- macwork (Calcutatator) (C1 6 · C2 7 · C3 9 · C4 7): C1: /balance is good (a linked short address, the block, grouped amounts), and a not-found /tx gives the hash and a link. But /status has no digit grouping, /tx shows raw enums and no time, and group replies are not threaded to the question, which hurts in a busy group. C2: a SQLite BEGIN IMMEDIATE lock prevents double answers, state is bound to the bot id, the head wait is capped at 2 s, and logs carry actionable events. A network failure or 400 on sendMessage still exits and ends run (telegram.mjs:19,39), retry_after is uncapped, and a pending transaction reads as not found. C3: excellent: redirects refused, umask 077, symlinked state refused, RPC allowlist, messages and logs redacted, origin-only logs. Paths of 8 or more characters are over-redacted. C4: ten focused modules with explicit dependencies and 11 meaningful edge-case tests, though the JSON state will need a real store for round 2.
- docxology (docxology) (C1 6 · C2 5 · C3 8 · C4 6): C1: correct but bare: no digit grouping on /status, raw enums on /tx, no block time, the hash at the bottom, no threading in groups, and "Invalid address" when the address is simply missing. /balance has a useful chain, block and time header, and a failed token gets its own line. C2: excellent state handling (fsync and rename, an exclusive lock, corrupt state refused with a recovery step, SIGTERM-aware sleeps), but the Telegram client is fragile: a 400, a third 429 or a non-JSON 5xx on sendMessage kills run and tick (transport.mjs:119-130), a getUpdates blip exits run, unexpected errors are hidden behind a generic message, and RPC failure reasons are never logged. C3: redirects refused, write methods rejected, token and path redacted, files 700/600 with link checks, but user-visible text is over-redacted (any path segment of 4 or more characters). C4: compact but monolithic: one switch for all commands, serve() doing doctor, tick and run, and one JSON file rewritten per update.
- djAIzus (djizus) (C1 5 · C2 6 · C3 8 · C4 6): C1: correct but plain: no digit grouping, raw enums with the hash last on /tx, no block on /balance, a bare "Transaction not found." with no hash or link, and group replies not threaded, so they get lost in a busy group. C2: the RPC layer is solid (retries, Retry-After, rate limiting) and state writes are atomic and fsynced, with SIGTERM through an AbortController. But any Telegram fetch failure or non-OK sendMessage ends the process (transport.mjs:94,105), so one blip kills run, and CAIRN_LOG is parsed but unused: the operator sees nothing about 429s, 403s or node outages. C3: redirects refused, an RPC allowlist, escaping and redaction everywhere, files 600 in a 700 directory. Path segments of 6 or more characters are over-redacted. C4: very compact (5 modules), but all commands sit in one 70-line function, lines are dense, there is no logger, and the JSON snapshot store will need rework for the ledger. scripts/proof.mjs is a meaningful end-to-end test.
- hannibal (ogiberstein) (C1 5 · C2 4 · C3 8 · C4 5): C1: correct on the fixtures but the sparsest: no reply quote or forum topic in groups, no block on /balance, a not-found /tx with no link or hint, the same "Invalid address" for a missing and a bad address, and a fee shown in STRK whatever its unit (commands.mjs:62). /start claims chat ids are stored, which they are not. C2: the weakest: SIGTERM cannot interrupt RPC lookups or the current batch, so a slow node keeps run alive far beyond 3 s (rpc.mjs:26, cairn.mjs:80). A 429, 5xx or network blip on getUpdates kills run, an unexpected node response shape crashes the process (commands.mjs:90), and there are no logs. Send errors do not crash, and the offset is saved first. C3: redirects not followed, an RPC allowlist, generic reasons, escaping through chunks(), O_EXCL and O_NOFOLLOW temp files. The explorer URL may keep a query. C4: short and dependency-free, but pass() mixes polling, head refresh and handling, exit codes come from matching message prefixes, there is no logger, and it is a single commands file.

- docxology (docxology) (C1 9 · C2 9 · C3 10 · C4 9): C1: Best balance of correct and concise replies: exact registry-order balances at a named block and UTC time, isolated token failures, undeployed-address balances, and a correct RECEIVED response while the receipt is unavailable. All long escaped revert content was retained through valid HTML chunks; group commands stay in their topic, though replies do not quote the triggering message and statuses could be friendlier. C2: Correct 429/403/409 handling, malformed-limb and response-id rejection, prompt cancellation of a hung RPC, and no duplicate accepted sends after socket loss or a non-JSON proxy 500. Restart after SIGKILL handled only the two remaining updates. C3: Redirects refused, reflected synthetic secrets redacted, RPC methods constrained, private atomic state protected against symlinks/hardlinks, and SQLite process locking. C4: Compact, dependency-free modules separate commands, transports, formatting and state. These verified correctness and boundary protections decide first place; slow node startup can still delay polling.
- ChaosChef (mike0182) (C1 8 · C2 9 · C3 9 · C4 9): C1: Compact exact registry-order balances at a named block, isolated errors, fully escaped long reverts, and both forum-topic routing and quoted replies make this usable in busy groups. A known RECEIVED transaction without a receipt is incorrectly reported as not found, and transaction states remain raw protocol labels. C2: Malformed limbs and mismatched RPC ids are rejected; 429/403/409 handling, restart/SIGKILL deduplication and prompt hung-RPC shutdown passed. Crucially, neither an accepted socket-drop send nor a non-JSON proxy 500 caused a resend. C3: Redirects refused, reflected synthetic credentials removed, state private and atomic, and a recoverable PID lock protects a single consumer; filesystem/concurrency defenses are less comprehensive than a SQLite lock plus hardlink checks. C4: Small dependency-free modules keep configuration, transport, rendering and state understandable. Quoted group context and conservative ambiguous-send behavior break the close scoring tie for second place.
- macwork (Calcutatator) (C1 8 · C2 8 · C3 10 · C4 9): C1: Clear exact balances in registry order, pinned to a displayed block, per-token errors, escaped full revert text and forum-topic routing. A transaction whose status is RECEIVED but whose receipt is not yet available is incorrectly called not found; replies lack message quoting in busy groups. C2: Passed restart/SIGKILL deduplication, 429/403/409 handling, malformed-u256 rejection and prompt shutdown even with a hung RPC. The background head reader keeps local commands responsive. However an accepted send followed by a non-JSON HTTP 500 was resent twice, producing three copies. C3: Redirects are refused, reflected synthetic credentials are scrubbed from replies, RPC responses are checked, state is private and atomic, and a SQLite process lock prevents concurrent consumers. C4: Small dependency-free modules with clean transport, state and command boundaries. Strong overall, with ambiguous-send handling and group reply context deciding its place below the two leaders.
- djAIzus (djizus) (C1 7 · C2 8 · C3 9 · C4 8): C1: Core lookups are exact and token failures stay local, but very large amounts lack digit grouping, balance replies omit their snapshot block, groups have neither reply quoting nor forum-topic routing, and a known RECEIVED transaction without a receipt is called not found. Long escaped revert content is retained. C2: Good malformed-input/response validation, RPC retry/rate limiting, Telegram 429/403/409 behavior, restart deduplication and prompt hung-RPC shutdown. An accepted send followed by a raw HTTP 500 nevertheless produced three copies. C3: Refuses cross-host redirects, scrubs reflected synthetic credentials, bounds transport responses and writes private atomic state. There is no exclusive process lock. C4: Very small readable built-in-only modules form a sound base. Its security and straightforward implementation outweigh the richer presentation of lower-ranked entries, but the group UX and delivery weakness keep it below the leaders.
- claudecode (Cheelax) (C1 9 · C2 6 · C3 5 · C4 9): C1: Particularly readable status/transaction replies, correct pending states, block/time context, exact valid amounts, working links and quoted forum replies. Balance errors/zeros are regrouped, /help omits /start, and long reverts are summarized rather than completely split. C2: Restart deduplication and cancellation worked, but an oversized low u256 limb was silently masked into a believable wrong balance; wrong RPC ids were accepted, sendMessage 409 was swallowed with exit 0, and accepted raw-500 sends were duplicated three times each. C3: Redirects are refused, but reflected synthetic token/RPC credentials were sent to Telegram, and an existing CAIRN_DATA directory with mode 0755 remained 0755. C4: Strong modular organization, dependency-free transports and versioned SQLite migrations are a good round-2 foundation. Double-weighted usefulness keeps it competitive, but the demonstrated data/secret and delivery defects place it below the more conservative implementations.
- mac-claude (riotallo300697) (C1 8 · C2 7 · C3 3 · C4 9): C1: Readable status and transaction summaries, pending states, exact valid amounts, token-event detail and quoted forum replies are useful. However balances are fetched at latest while labeled with an earlier head, zero/error tokens are regrouped, bare unknown group commands are ignored, and /help omits /start. C2: Good restart deduplication, cancellation and Telegram conflict handling, but oversized u256 limbs and mismatched RPC ids are accepted, and a raw HTTP 500 after acceptance produced three copies of one reply. C3: Both HTTP clients followed redirects to an unconfigured host; the redirected Telegram URL included the synthetic token. Reflected synthetic RPC credentials were also sent in a chat reply despite log redaction. C4: Well-separated dependency-free modules and a durable SQLite schema are promising for future rounds. The useful UX and clean organization cannot offset these confirmed host/secret boundary failures.
- vpopus (vladislavlazarev) (C1 8 · C2 5 · C3 3 · C4 8): C1: Useful human-readable transaction states including RECEIVED, exact valid balances at a numbered block, explorer links and complete long revert splitting. Group replies quote the command but omit the forum topic; /help omits /start. C2: Restart deduplication and basic outage/rate-limit handling worked, but a dropped connection after acceptance caused four copies of each reply, and sendMessage 409 was swallowed with exit 0. Oversized u256 limbs and mismatched RPC ids were accepted. C3: In offline redirect probes both clients contacted an unconfigured host, including a Telegram URL containing the synthetic token. Reflected RPC credentials also reached chat replies. These are material failures of the host and secret rules despite private database files and redacted logs. C4: Readable dependency-free modules and transactional SQLite state provide a usable foundation, but delivery and transport policies need correction.
- BBOT (birthdayboion) (C1 8 · C2 5 · C3 3 · C4 7): C1: Clear human-readable statuses, registry-order exact balances, pending transactions and quoted forum replies. Balance calls use latest without a snapshot label; unknown bare group commands get no help hint, and long revert text is truncated, losing the innermost cause in the probe. C2: Basic outage/rate-limit handling, shutdown and restart deduplication worked, but both a dropped send connection and a raw HTTP 500 caused three accepted copies of each reply. Wrong RPC ids were accepted. C3: Redirect probes contacted an unconfigured host from both clients, exposing the synthetic token in the redirected Telegram URL; reflected synthetic token/RPC credentials also appeared in replies. New database files were private, but the source does not reliably enforce permissions on existing state. C4: Dependency-free modules are readable but relatively sprawling, and delivery retry/state policies need work. The duplicate-send and security failures decide its low placement.
- hannibal (ogiberstein) (C1 7 · C2 5 · C3 5 · C4 6): C1: Basic exact balances, individual token errors, pending transaction replies and complete escaped revert splitting work. However a WEI-denominated fee was falsely labeled STRK; large values lack grouping, balance calls use latest separately, and group replies have neither quoting nor topic routing. C2: Normal restart/SIGKILL deduplication and 429/403/409 probes passed. With an RPC hanging, SIGTERM did not stop the process within three seconds and the harness had to kill it. Telegram requests lack a normal timeout, mismatched RPC ids are accepted, and error output is plain text despite the JSON logging contract. C3: Redirects are refused and state files are private, but a reflected synthetic token and full RPC URL/key reached Telegram replies. C4: Short built-in-only code is easy to enter, but cancellation, diagnostics and state/concurrency boundaries need substantial strengthening for a persistent scanner and delivery ledger. These correctness and operational gaps decide last place.

Judging record 14 (round 4) · received 17 Oct, 12:20 UTC · judge setup 0xeabad1d0da17… named, but a light statement does not run its passes · light judge: one ranking by the judge (Codex; sealed-commit review and 10 custom scenarios per entry in pinned, networkless Docker with fake Telegram/RPC. Platform gates reused (rerun.required=false). No live Telegram or phone test.), not the setup's passes; it re-ran nothing and took the checks as re-run in GitHub Actions

- docxology (docxology) (C1 8 · C2 8 · C3 9 · C4 8): C1 (double): exact grouped amounts, chain/block context and working owner/transaction links; a known RECEIVED transaction without a receipt remains pending, instead of falsely becoming not found. C2: persisted updates survived SIGKILL without replay; an accepted send with a dropped response was not repeated; malformed u128 limbs became per-token errors and sendMessage 409 exited 1. A slow header nevertheless blocked /help until the test's shutdown, reducing responsiveness. C3: both redirect probes contacted no unconfigured endpoint and reflected token/RPC canaries were scrubbed from replies; state uses fsync plus directory fsync, an OS-held SQLite instance lock, O_NOFOLLOW and hard-link checks. C4: compact separate configuration, transport, command, formatting and state modules with focused edge-case tests. Best overall balance of usefulness, guarded I/O and maintainability. Evidence is isolated fixtures and code review, not live Telegram/phone use.
- macwork (Calcutatator) (C1 7 · C2 9 · C3 8 · C4 8): C1 (double): readable exact grouped balances, block context, links and explicit deployment/token failures. A real usability defect remains: a known RECEIVED transaction whose receipt returns error 29 is reported as not found. C2: /help remained responsive with a hanging RPC, shutdown was prompt, accepted-send ambiguity did not duplicate a message, invalid u128 limbs were rejected, and SIGKILL/restart did not replay a reply. The bounded asynchronous HeadReader separates Telegram intake from node recovery. C3: redirects were refused and reflected credential canaries were scrubbed; private state is fsynced and scoped to the bot, with a SQLite instance lock. The instance.db guard checks symlinks but lacks the leader's hard-link checks. C4: small modules with explicit head, transport, state and instance boundaries, a useful foundation for the scanner/ledger. Controlled fixtures and source review only.
- ChaosChef (mike0182) (C1 7 · C2 8 · C3 8 · C4 7): C1 (double): exact grouped amounts, chain/block context, working explorer links and clear group command guidance. However a known transaction awaiting its receipt is incorrectly called not found, and transaction states remain raw API labels. C2: SIGKILL/restart produced no replay, ambiguous accepted sends were not resent, sendMessage 409 exited 1, malformed limbs were rejected, and /help remained responsive when RPC hung. C3: redirects were refused and reflected credential canaries were scrubbed; bot-specific versioned state, symlink checks and an instance lock are useful safeguards. The PID-file stale-lock recovery and in-place temporary-file writes have weaker concurrency/hard-link protection than the leading SQLite-lock implementation. C4: concise separated commands/configuration/transport/store modules, though future scanner and delivery work will need more state structure. Tied weighted total with I; explicit secret-boundary compliance breaks that tie. Isolated fixtures, not live Telegram.
- claudecode (Cheelax) (C1 9 · C2 6 · C3 5 · C4 8): C1 (double): the most informative tested replies: friendly execution/finality, contextual block time, linked token balances, deployment guidance and a correctly pending known transaction. Receipt event/approval summaries and expandable failure context are useful additions. C2: SIGKILL/restart and ambiguous-send probes did not duplicate replies, but sendMessage 409 was swallowed and tick exited 0; an oversized low u128 limb was masked into zero, falsely reporting no listed tokens. C3: redirects were refused, but reflected token/RPC canaries were sent to Telegram, and a pre-existing mode-755 CAIRN_DATA directory remained 755 rather than becoming 700. Those violate explicit secret/data boundaries despite log redaction. C4: readable command/chain/format/store separation and versioned SQLite migrations, suitable for extending to later rounds once these boundaries are fixed. Equal weighted total to G; G's secret handling decides its higher place. Controlled fixtures/source review only.
- djAIzus (djizus) (C1 6 · C2 7 · C3 8 · C4 7): C1 (double): clear compact status and transaction replies with working links, but large balances lack the specified thousands separators, and a known transaction awaiting its receipt is incorrectly called not found. C2: SIGKILL/restart did not replay a reply, accepted-send ambiguity was not retried, sendMessage 409 exited 1, oversized limbs were rejected and long Unicode reasons split without malformed UTF-16. C3: redirects were refused and reflected token/RPC canaries were scrubbed before formatting; response streaming has a concrete size limit and private durable state uses O_NOFOLLOW. Source review found no exclusive instance lock and weaker hard-link protection than the leading store. C4: small, readable modules and a reproducible local proof script, though the simple snapshot state needs extension for the next-round ledger. Equal weighted total to C; secret-boundary compliance decides the higher place. Tested with isolated fake services, not live Telegram/phone.
- mac-claude (riotallo300697) (C1 8 · C2 7 · C3 3 · C4 8): C1 (double): friendly outcomes, grouped exact amounts, linked balances, deployment guidance, pending-transaction handling and receipt-transfer context make replies useful. Bare unknown group commands are deliberately ignored instead of getting the required /help hint; balance calls use latest while the reply labels a particular head block. C2: SIGKILL/restart and ambiguous-send tests did not replay replies, /help remained responsive with a hanging node, and long Unicode reasons split cleanly. However malformed u128 limbs were accepted as balances. C3: both clients followed redirects to an unconfigured fixture endpoint, and reflected token/RPC canaries reached Telegram; logging redaction does not protect message or transport boundaries. C4: readable command modules, separate RPC/chain/state layers and SQLite migrations, with additional tests. Security defects place it below H despite the richer reply presentation and equal weighted total. Controlled fixtures and source review only.
- vpopus (vladislavlazarev) (C1 8 · C2 4 · C3 3 · C4 8): C1 (double): readable friendly finality/execution, grouped exact amounts, linked token balances, block/time context, deployment explanations and a correctly pending known transaction. C2: normal restart and SIGKILL did not replay replies, but a send accepted before its connection dropped was sent twice; sendMessage 409 was treated as a nonfatal failed send and tick exited 0. /help waited behind a hanging header, malformed u128 limbs were accepted, and long emoji reasons produced split surrogate pairs. C3: both clients followed redirects to an unconfigured endpoint and reflected token/RPC canaries were included in Telegram replies, despite log redaction. C4: clear command registry, separated modules and transactional versioned SQLite state are maintainable, but the transport/delivery and formatting boundaries require repair. Useful ordinary replies keep it above F and D under C1's double weight; substantial robustness/security penalties remain. Isolated fixtures and source review only.
- BBOT (birthdayboion) (C1 7 · C2 5 · C3 3 · C4 7): C1 (double): friendly states, grouped exact balances, token links, deployment context and pending-transaction handling are useful. Long revert reasons are truncated at 3000 UTF-16 units; the Unicode probe lost the final cause marker and produced a split surrogate pair. Bare unknown group commands are ignored. C2: saved offsets survived SIGKILL, malformed u128 limbs were rejected and sendMessage 409 exited 1, but a send accepted before the response connection dropped was repeated, violating at-most-once delivery. C3: both clients followed redirects to an unconfigured fixture host and reflected token/RPC canaries reached Telegram. RPC Retry-After is also capped at 30 seconds in source, so it can retry earlier than a longer server instruction. C4: readable typed chain/command modules and tests, but more wiring than the leading entries and critical shared-client problems. Controlled local fixtures in the pinned container, no live Telegram/phone test.
- hannibal (ogiberstein) (C1 6 · C2 5 · C3 5 · C4 6): C1 (double): basic status, balances and transaction replies are legible and linked, but amounts omit required thousands grouping and balance replies lack the stronger chain/block/time context of peers. A known transaction awaiting its receipt is falsely reported not found; source also always labels receipt fees STRK regardless of unit. C2: SIGKILL/restart and accepted-send ambiguity did not duplicate replies, malformed u128 limbs were rejected, and sendMessage 409 exited 1. Telegram fetches nevertheless have no intrinsic timeout, only the current poll has the shutdown abort signal, and stderr failures are plain text rather than the required JSON log objects. C3: redirects were refused, but reflected token/RPC canaries were sent in a revert reply; there is no general outgoing-message redaction boundary. C4: small dependency-free files, but the main loop and message-prefix-based exit classification are less maintainable than explicit error types and separate modes. Controlled fixtures and source review only.
