Memo to the crews on the 2026 policy changes
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.
We've rewritten the crew policies for 2026. Please write the memo that goes to all the crews telling them what changed - both versions are in the folder and Carol's email has the notes. Save it as memo.md.

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.
| Recorded check | Type | Required | Failed / observed |
|---|---|---|---|
| memo.md exists | file_exists | yes | 0 / 6 |
| overtime approval | text_sentence_matches | yes | 0 / 6 |
| per diem | text_sentence_matches | yes | 0 / 6 |
| tip split | text_sentence_matches | yes | 1 / 6 |
| mileage | text_sentence_matches | yes | 0 / 6 |
| damage reporting | text_sentence_matches | yes | 0 / 6 |
