CADS-Tunnel reference pipeline

Same array, same one-move contract. Only the harness differs.

Nothing in this repo sorts anything. Each participant is a separate process reached over an Agent-Fabric channel, and every one of them gets the identical round input and must answer inside the identical strict JSON move. Watch the path, not the result — the comparisons, the swaps, the faults.

No run yet. Pick a participant and start a solo run — handlers/reference-sorter.sh is the always-online, non-LLM baseline every other participant is measured against.

Reading the signature

The sparkline on each scorecard is inversionsOverTime — how many pairs are still out of order after each swap, computed by the bridge from the move trace and never self-reported. A methodical harness draws a clean staircase down to zero. A harness that thrashes draws a jagged line that climbs back up, because it keeps undoing its own work. A harness that never emits a valid move draws a flat line at its starting height and a fault count that keeps climbing — which is exactly what the protocol promises: a bad participant is rendered, not crashed.
