Apply today's lockbox checks to open invoices

lockbox-apply·time budget 1200 s·source

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.

Please apply this morning's lockbox file against our open invoices - Lucia's email has how she wants it done and the bank's file layout is in the folder. Save applied.csv and unapplied.csv.

Workspace

  • email_from_lucia.txt
  • lockbox_file_layout.txt
  • open_ar_2026-09-09.xlsx

Expected deliverables

  • applied.csv
  • unapplied.csv

This task also has a task-specific grader (check.py).

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.
