Exactly matching this year's gold bar, plus a tie for first on MathArena AIME 2026 at 97.1%, and 35/42 on last year's IMO problems (SK Telecom).

Go look at your ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md right now. Mine has internal package names, a build command with a host in it, and notes about which credentials live where. I wrote it assuming exactly one reader. RuntimeWire published traced request captures on August 9 showing Muse Code...
