Why it missed

Scientific interpretation errorThis run applied the positive-correlation threshold to the raw CRISPR score and returned zero genes. Using the biological essentiality direction produces the accepted three genes.

History isolation noteReplicate 3 created this history first; replicate 2 found and adopted it 15 seconds later. They submitted separate jobs, so this is a history-isolation violation without detected output reuse.

GPT-5.6 Sol · token optimization

Galaxy-API code, high reasoning, Fast service. Previous runs are retained above.

Open-ended code averaged 0.30M tokens; previous website Galaxy averaged 0.68M; the new Galaxy runs averaged 0.44M, or 1.47× Open-ended code. Each mean covers three replicates of this same task with GPT-5.6 Sol.

Cached input is already included in input tokens. Full nested tool/job evidence is in each HF run's galaxy_execution_records.tar.gz, with an accompanying member index.
