"I spent the past week testing a simple question:
Small local models often look weak inside coding agents. But how much of that is actually model weakness, and how much is scaffold mismatch?
So I held the model fixed and changed only the scaffold.
Same Qwen3.5-9B Q4 weights in both conditions.

"I built scalar-loop to solve one problem: LLM agents game their verifiers.
The pattern is Karpathy's autoresearch loop. LLM proposes an edit, harness runs the metric, loop keeps or reverts based on the number. Simple. Until you watch the agent, on iteration 23, quietly edit the verifier to report a..."
