Order-service pilot · 11 September 2026 · Main matrix: medium effort, with a separate Astra-low comparison. Every completed draft retains the same runtime voice model.
Compare active generation time, estimated model cost and independently checked output. Hover over a point for its test and review scores. Unknown-cost and setup-failure runs are excluded from the chart.

Reproduction caveat: The sole blind-review deduction is that the builtin end_session schema is absent from the draft. Builtins are stored by reference. The repository contract supports the exact authored arguments reason="goodbye" and session_escalated=false (builtin-contracts.json and builtin-tools.ts). This is missing review context, not an established generated-tool defect; retain the raw 15/16 score with this caveat.

Reproduction caveat: The reviewer treats {{TOOL:end_session}} as unresolved and cannot find the builtin schema in the draft. The tool token is supported Studio prompt syntax, and builtin:end_session is stored by reference. Its repository contract supports reason and session_escalated. This is missing platform context for the reviewer, not an established generated-tool defect; the raw 15/16 score is retained.
Reproduction caveat: The reviewer could not verify the builtin end_session arguments from the draft alone. The platform contract supports reason and session_escalated; builtins are stored by reference. This resolves that schema uncertainty, but does not prove deployment-specific handoff behavior or dismiss the separate wording and verification findings.
Reproduction caveat: The blind reviewer claimed that a wrong-item return reveals SKU-RED-1 before postal verification. Executing the unchanged saved Python with ORDER-1003, postal 99999 and item SKU-NOT-ON-ORDER returned verification_failed with no SKU; the saved source includes postal_code=10003 in the wrong-item branch. Both follow-up privacy checks pass. Preserve the raw 13/16 model score, but do not treat this alleged runtime leak as established or use it uncritically to rank Sonnet.
Reproduction caveat: The platform end_session contract supports the authored reason and session_escalated arguments; the draft stores this builtin by reference. Its schema being absent from the artifact is missing reviewer context. This does not establish that a deployment-specific handoff works, and it does not resolve the separate verification-wording finding. The raw 14/16 review is retained.
