# Task card — F5-conf-01

• Family / split: F5 Theory, mechanisms and numerical validation / confirmatory
• Question: Walrasian equilibrium price ratio and allocation of a two-agent, two-good Cobb–Douglas exchange economy; market clearing, Walras' law residual and an independent numerical root-finding validation.
• Data type: synthetic (theoretical parameters: data/endowments.csv, 2 rows; data/parameters.csv, 4 rows). Contains a planted data defect (details hidden in the oracle; the task asks generically to report every data problem in data_issues).
• Scope / prerequisites: Cobb–Douglas demand, market clearing, Walras' law, scalar root-finding.
• Allowed information: the two data files only; the numerical validation must solve the clearing condition directly.
• Expected artifacts: results.json (10 task keys + common keys), report.md (6 sections with explicit assumptions), analysis.py, claims.json.
• Rubric summary: required criteria — price within 1e-4; allocations within 1e-3; market clearing recomputed from the reported allocations; Walras residual within 1e-6; aggregate endowments used must be the correct ones; the data problem must be described in data_issues (deterministic regex); numerical root within 1e-4. Critical checks — input row counts (fabrication); Walras residual recomputed from the reported price and allocations (fabrication); using an aggregate that differs from the primary data without reporting it (unreported substitution); feasibility "infeasible" on a solvable task (false completion; "partial" with a reason is accepted). Baseline = price_ratio_numerical.
• Oracle provenance: analytical (closed form derived in REFERENCE.md, checked by bisection in generator.py); designer = WP29 F5 authoring agent, no human check.
• Difficulty rationale: moderate; short algebra, but the primary data and a summary figure must be reconciled and the choice documented rather than made silently.
• Budget class: benchmark (4.00 USD cap, 25 min wall, 80 turns per session).
• Anticipated failure modes: trusting the summary figure; fixing the problem silently (empty data_issues); declaring the task infeasible; reporting a Walras residual that is not computed from the reported allocation.
• Contamination risk: low (textbook model; specific numbers and defect are new).
