Sabline 8.7.0

Competitors: the evidence, part 2

Categories 8 to 16 of the competitor table (the rest are in part 1, part 3), measured 2026-09-23: every cell's verdict, whether the program's legitimate work still succeeded where the row checks it, and the evidence line the harness wrote from what ran. The commands each cell ran, the input it was given and what it printed are in results.json, with the scratch directory written as <workdir> and the two listener ports as <port> (granted) and <other-port> (not).

13. A TrapDoor: a program whose stated purpose and behaviour differ #

13a a_scan_and_exfil - A "secret scanner" that posts the file it reads to a URL; the file is a credential (a .pem) and net is beyond what a scanner needs.

14. Skill supply chain: an agent skill whose helper reads a credential and posts it #

15. Hallucinated dependency: a program that imports a package that does not exist #

15a a_slug_import - Imports 'fastslug', a slug helper the model invented; no index serves the name, so the import cannot resolve.

  • Sabline: caught-before-run - check: E512 line 3; run: not attempted, did not compile
  • Deno: caught-before-run - check: cannot resolve the import, line 3; run: exit 1, error: Module not found "htt<path>".
