The request

The task request supplied to the adapter, alongside the workspace below. Runtime instructions, authorized tools and skills also affect the system. Containerized runs withhold host-side references; local mode is not an isolation boundary.

Ines wants last quarter's hours for every client project, split into billable and unbillable, from the two time exports. Her note has the details - save it as client_hours.csv.

Workspace

  • projects.xlsx
  • timer_app_export.csv
  • tracker_time_export_2026-07-01_to_2026-09-30.csv

Expected deliverables

  • client_hours.csv

Recorded acceptance checks

The table uses check names and outcomes from the frozen campaign ledger. Acceptance requires all required predicates to pass; a predicate may itself contain a tolerance or coverage threshold. Its scope is part of the measurement contract.
