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 draft the price increase notice for our standing order customers and save it as notice.md. Grace's emails and the new price schedule are in the folder.

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.
