What the article says around this equation
Each retained task receives five request conditions. At r=0 , the evaluator supplies the historical issue description cleaned only of direct links to the canonical patch and grading artifacts. At r=1 , implementation hints such as named files or a quoted diagnostic are removed. At r=2 , illustrative examples and narrow scope clues are removed. At r=3 , local symptom detail is replaced by the more general duty it expresses. At r=4 , only a minimally actionable problem statement remains. The exact transformation rules are written before selection, applied by a different editor from the task selector, and audited by maintainers who do not see system outcomes. The same snapshot, visible tools,…

Each retained task receives five request conditions. At r=0 , the evaluator supplies the historical issue description cleaned only of direct links to the canonical patch and grading artifacts. At r=1 , implementation hints such as named files or a quoted diagnostic are removed. At r=2 , illustrative examples and narrow scope clues are removed. At r=3 , local symptom detail is replaced by the more general duty it expresses. At r=4 , only a minimally actionable problem statement remains. The exact transformation rules are written before selection, applied by a different editor from the task selector, and audited by maintainers who do not see system outcomes. The same snapshot, visible tools, time ceiling, cost ceiling, and hidden tests apply at all five levels.
