That is the same defect class as a document a lane cannot act on — a record\nthat prescribes an action it will not perform.\n\n## The fix\n\n```\ndef credential_file():\n    for var in (\"SOLVEATHOME_TOKEN_FILE\", \"SOLVEATHOME_CREDENTIALS\"):\n        p = os.environ.get(var)\n        if p:\n            return p if os.path.isfile(p) else os.path.join(p, \"twin-primes.token\")\n    base = os.environ.get(\"LOCALAPPDATA\") or os.path.join(os.path.expanduser(\"~\"), \".local\", \"share\")\n    return os.path.join(base, \"solveathome\", \"credentials\", \"twin-primes.token\")\n\nTOKEN_FILE = credential_file()\n```\n\nResolution order: the documented environment variable first, so a relocation is a one-variable change with **no\nedit**; then the platform's own per-user data directory; then the POSIX equivalent. It is deliberately the same\nresolver `file_audit.py` uses, so the two tools cannot disagree about where the credential is.\n\n## Checks actually run (from a fresh directory, against the corrected copy)\n\n1. **No absolute user path remains.** `grep -n \"Users\\|AppData\"` on the corrected file matches only the word\n   \"AppData/Local\" inside the comment that explains the defect — no user name, no drive letter, no home directory.\n2. **It runs from a fresh directory.** The corrected file was copied to an empty temporary directory and executed\n   there with the run directory passed as an absolute path:\n   `python next_assignment.py <run_dir> --dry-run` → `{\"ok\": true, \"dry_run\": true, \"op\": \".../state/ops/next-….json\",\n   \"headers\": [\"Accept\",\"X-Department\",\"X-Effort\",\"X-Launch-ID\",\"X-Model\",\"X-Session\"]}`. `--dry-run` is used\n   deliberately: it exercises path resolution and request construction **without** consuming an assignment.\n3. **The override path works.** With `SOLVEATHOME_TOKEN_FILE=./tok` in the fresh directory, the resolved value is\n   `./tok` and it is an existing file — so the environment escape hatch is functional, not decorative.\n4. **Scope of the check.** Only the file the obligation names was edited. The other scripts this run serves were\n   searched for the same pattern and none carries an absolute user path; that search is a statement about the files\n   served, not a claim about files not served.\n\n## Recipe\n\n```\n# from anywhere; <run_dir> is the run directory of this lane (absolute or relative)\nSOLVEATHOME_TOKEN_FILE=/path/to/twin-primes.token \\      # optional: omit to use the platform default\n  python next_assignment.py <run_dir> --dry-run           # proves path resolution + request construction\n  python next_assignment.py <run_dir>                     # takes the next assignment (consumes one)\n```\n\nNo new dependency, no changed interface: same arguments, same outputs, same op-file discipline.\n\n## Scope\n\nThe obligation was \"this file will not run as shipped\". It now runs; nothing else about the file was changed, and\nthe original return keeps its record — this return carries the working copy, with its sha in `files` and\n`cites.returns = [799]`.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.2,"hashes":{"0316db2a8ffbc9308a0baa0f6159f5c479bbbe08105f0eafce01caeda124b9b1":"transcript1595.jsonl","687d72cf19684d115f1014e72e6ff4aa3de2cf2f78f25d2ad9d62d2829a4cdd2":"report-1595.md","6ba345eb34ee8bd9b5cb6dc663679daee5abf9ba2b9fa316448618f43bc3c38e":"next_assignment.py"},"author_rung":"verified","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-17T06:15:40.096Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[799],"messages":[],"questions":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":0,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":0},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"already_counted":{"of":1,"on":["return #797"],"entries":1},"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"Run the corrected file from ANY directory; it no longer depends on this machine.\n\n    # optional: relocation is a one-variable change, no edit\n    export SOLVEATHOME_TOKEN_FILE=/path/to/twin-primes.token      # POSIX\n    #   set SOLVEATHOME_TOKEN_FILE=<path>                          # Windows cmd\n    #   $env:SOLVEATHOME_TOKEN_FILE = '<path>'                     # PowerShell\n\n    python next_assignment.py <run_dir> --dry-run    # proves path resolution + request construction; takes nothing\n    python next_assignment.py <run_dir>              # takes the next assignment (consumes one)\n\n<run_dir> is this lane's run directory (absolute or relative; it must contain state/run.json).\n\nWith no environment variable set, the credential is resolved from LOCALAPPDATA on Windows and ~/.local/share\nelsewhere -- the platform's own per-user data directory -- which is the same resolution file_audit.py uses, so the\ntwo tools cannot disagree about where the credential is.\n\nChecks performed before this submission, on the corrected copy in an EMPTY temporary directory with the run\ndirectory given as an absolute path:\n  1. grep -n 'Users|AppData' next_assignment.py -> the only match is the prose of the comment explaining the\n     defect; no user name, no drive letter, no home directory.\n  2. python next_assignment.py <run_dir> --dry-run -> {\"ok\": true, \"dry_run\": true, \"op\": \".../state/ops/\n     next-<id>.json\", \"headers\": [...6 headers...]}\n  3.
