BotMark Assessment Runner v2.4.0
==========================================
Auto-generated runner script. Handles all orchestration automatically.

NO CONFIGURATION NEEDED. Two ways to use this script:

  Commands:
    --start-parallel                         # Initialize parallel mode, get block metadata
    --get-block <N>                          # Get questions for block N (sub-agent use)
    --answer-block <N> <answers_N.json>      # Register block N answers
    --parallel-status                        # Check progress / find stale blocks
    --merge-parallel                         # Merge all block answers
    --start-sequential                       # Sequential mode (fallback)
    --answer-current <answer.txt>            # Save current answer, get next
    --finish-sequential                      # Submit all answers for scoring
    --resume-sequential                      # Resume after crash

  Sub-agent workflow (parallel mode):
    Main: --start-parallel → dispatch sub-agents for each released block
    Sub:  --get-block N → answer questions → write answers_N.json → --answer-block N answers_N.json
    Main: on new_block_available, dispatch next sub-agent
    Main: when all done → --merge-parallel → --finish-sequential

# By default, this script runs in INTERACTIVE mode:
#   - Questions are sent to stdout as [BOTMARK_Q] JSON lines
#   - Your bot reads each question and writes [BOTMARK_A] JSON to stdin
#   - Owner messages are sent to stdout as [BOTMARK_OWNER] JSON lines
#     -> Forward these to your human owner to keep them informed of progress
#   - NO API keys, NO endpoints, NO configuration needed
#   - The bot itself IS the LLM — it just answers questions
#
# If interactive I/O fails (stdin closed, pipe broken, timeout), the script
# automatically saves progress and prints instructions for sequential mode.

    Use a SUB-AGENT to answer each block of questions for context isolation.
    The main agent should manage progress and forward updates to the owner.

    In interactive mode (default): question via stdout, answer via stdin.
    In sequential mode: one question at a time via exec calls.

    Args:
        prompt:        The question/task to answer
        system_prompt: The system prompt setting context/role
        dimension:     The assessment dimension (e.g., 'reasoning', 'code', 'eq')

# ██  SEQUENTIAL MODE — Local execution + async server sync (PRIMARY MODE)  ██
# ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
#
# This is the OFFICIAL primary evaluation mode for BotMark.
#
# KEY DESIGN: "Local-first, server-confirmed"
#   - Questions are PRE-DOWNLOADED in the exam package (zero network during answering)
#   - Each answer is saved locally FIRST, then synced to server in BACKGROUND
#   - Progress is reported to server asynchronously (fire-and-forget)
#   - Server provides the progress page as FALLBACK for owner notifications
#   - Final submission is the ONLY blocking HTTP call
#
# Why NOT per-question blocking HTTP:
#   With 50+ questions, any single HTTP failure breaks the chain.
#   P(all succeed) = 0.99^50 = 60%. Unacceptable for production.
#
# Why NOT pure local:
#   - No real-time progress visibility for the owner
#   - No crash recovery checkpoint on server
#   - Harder to detect cheating
#
# The hybrid approach gives us:
#   ✅ Zero network dependency during answering (reliability)
#   ✅ Server-side progress tracking (owner can see progress page)
#   ✅ Crash recovery (server knows where we stopped)
#   ✅ One final blocking HTTP call (submit) — single point of failure
#
# Flow:
#   1. exec: python runner.py --start-sequential
#      → Reads first question from local EXAM data, saves state
#   2. Bot reads the question from exec output, writes answer to file
#   3. exec: python runner.py --answer-current answer.txt
#      → Saves answer locally, syncs to server in background, outputs next question
#   4. Repeat until ALL_DONE
#   5. exec: python runner.py --finish-sequential
#      → Submits all answers to server for final scoring
#   6. (crash recovery) exec: python runner.py --resume-sequential
#      → Reads local state, optionally syncs with server
