  "works": "Self-hosted without Docker: ran the FastAPI app (uv sync) against a local Postgres 18 with FAKE_GRADER=true and a locally generated server token. /healthz returned ok and migrations ran on startup. POST /sessions with a 5-line diff returned 201 with a session URL and the fixed first question; the /s/{token} page showed one question beside the diff. A wrong answer kept GET /verdict at PENDING; a correct answer flipped it to PASSED and the page showed 'You explained your own change. Off you go.' Missing or wrong bearer token returned 401, a malformed repo returned 422, and a 1,200-line diff was rejected with 422 and a clear 'over the 1,000-line limit... Split it into smaller PRs' message.",
  "breaks": "Nothing broke in the tested paths. Real grading needs an Anthropic API key (BYOK) and the GitHub side needs a repo, a workflow file and a status token, so those parts were not run. The answer page is an HTML form, so an agent has to post form fields rather than call a JSON API. The CHANGELOG's Unreleased section still calls the tool 'grumpy' and the status 'grumpy/verdict', while the code posts 'vibecheck/verdict'.",
