Summary
Exact prompt
# Task: add byte-range support to the file server `server.py` serves the files under `public/` but ignores the `Range` and `If-Range` request headers, so downloads cannot resume and media players cannot seek. Change `server.py` so it implements `RANGES.md` exactly. Everything it already does correctly (paths, 404s, content types) must keep working. Do not change anything under `public/` (the grader checks those files are byte-identical to the originals). Python standard library only. Keep the command line: `python3 server.py [port]`, port also from env `G02_PORT`, default 18702, bind 127.0.0.1. No network beyond localhost. The grader starts your server, sends requests with `http.client`, compares status codes, the headers named in RANGES.md and the exact body bytes, then stops the server.
Exact status/header/body checks for clamping, suffix ranges, unsatisfiable vs malformed headers (416 vs ignore), un-merged multipart bodies with a fixed boundary, ETag-gated If-Range and HEAD parity. Original benchmark task written for usecaserank.com (not based on a specific public post). Headless, offline run on a reproducible fixture. Each run's notes say how its cost was measured (estimates are marked).
Success criteria: 1. public_files_unchanged: files under public/ are byte-identical. 2. full_response_headers: 200 carries Accept-Ranges and the SHA-256-prefix ETag. 3. single_ranges: first-last, first-, -suffix, clamped last, oversize suffix, spaces, correct Content-Type. 4. unsatisfiable_416: 416 with bytes */size for 5 unsatisfiable headers incl. empty file. 5. malformed_range_ignored: 8 malformed headers give a plain 200. 6. multipart_byteranges: exact multipart body, order kept, overlaps not merged, unsatisfiable parts dropped, single survivor gives a single-part 206. 7. if_range: matching ETag honours Range, mismatching/unquoted gives 200, If-Range alone changes nothing. 8. head_requests: HEAD mirrors GET status/headers without body. 9. errors_unaffected: missing files still 404.
Setup notes: Use Case Scout batch 7 case g02-http-range-requests (offline fixture). Prepared with batch7/prepare.sh; hidden key/tests kept outside the agent's work dir. Prompt = TASK.md verbatim. Scored with the scout's scorer: `python score.py WORKDIR KEYDIR`. Tools: Read/Write/Edit/Glob/Grep/Bash, web disabled. Single run, no retries. 1-min load average at scoring: 1.16. Claude Code's own reported cost for claude-opus-5.5: $0.231586. Score: 9/9 checks. Cost is an ESTIMATE: measured tokens x pricing.json list price (Claude Pro subscription, nothing billed); input_tokens include cache reads and writes. Single run.
Estimated cost List-price estimate; not actually billed.

Nothing under `public/` changed; I diffed it against a copy taken before I started.\n\nI tested it by starting the server and sending requests with `http.client`. These all behaved as the spec says:\n- **Single ranges:** `0-9`, `9990-` and `-5` return `206` with the right bytes and `Content-Range`. A range running past the end (`0-99999`) is cut off at the end of the file, and a suffix longer than the file (`-20000`) returns the whole file.\n- **Ranges that can't be served:** `10000-` on the 10,000-byte file, `-0`, and any range on the empty file return `416` with `Content-Range: bytes */size` and an empty body.\n- **Malformed headers:** another unit, `5-2`, an empty spec (`0-1,,3-4`), `-` alone and `+1-2` are all ignored and return `200` with the full file.\n- **Multiple ranges:** the body matches the spec byte for byte, with parts in the order requested and overlapping ranges kept separate. Spaces around each spec are accepted, and specs that can't be served are dropped.\n- **`If-Range`:** the range is used only if the value exactly matches the ETag (`\"<first 16 hex chars of SHA-256>\"`). Any other value returns `200` with the full file, even when the range couldn't have been served.\n- **`HEAD`:** returns the same status and headers as `GET` (including `Content-Length` and `Content-Range`) with no body.\n- **Unchanged behaviour:** every `200`, `206` and `416` for a file carries `Accept-Ranges: bytes` and the `ETag`. Missing files still return `404`, content types are as before, and the command line, `G02_PORT`, default port and bind address are the same.\n\nThe parser is strict where the spec is silent:\n- **Unit:** only lowercase `bytes=` counts as a range header, so `BYTES=0-1` gets the full file. HTTP itself treats the unit name as case-insensitive.\n- **Whitespace:** spaces are allowed around each spec, but tabs and spaces around the `=` make the header invalid.\n\nThe changes are a small parser and a function that resolves ranges against the file size, plus the response-building code in `_send`.",
