AI benchmark Candidate-runtime: 1/1 valid clean attempt solved. GPT-5.6 Sol at transcript-verified xhigh recovered the live goal in 1,424s of a 7,200s cap, before the 3,600s threshold; this candidate fails the one-hour AI-resistance screen. Runtime validated on the current pinned reconstruction (artifact SHA-256 d1c1f6ac41f2685e1c5581db0176e786f6a50ce21ead7961c341a9d1ee6dc152), not the original PlaidCTF deployment. Procedural isolation; restricted generic upstream research only, with no event, challenge, distinctive-string, mirror, or writeup searches. Exact source and a complete public solution create high transfer risk. Two contaminated Codex diagnostics and one blocked-environment Claude diagnostic are excluded from the solve rate. This is not platform-acceptance evidence.
