# Evaluation: 2026-09-04-qwen38-27b-4bit-pi-create-004

Verdict: partial

Functional status: mostly_works

Scores:

- Interest: 4/5
- Execution: 3/5
- Taste: 3/5

## Summary

A polished, dense Conway workbench with a strong control surface and a genuinely usable simulation, undermined by incorrect pattern presets and a symmetry mode that can clip stamps on the rectangular board.

## Findings

- Headless Chrome rendered a coherent full-screen workbench with clear transport, drawing, pattern, census, and history controls.
- The corrected smoke harness exercised controls without runtime errors or external dependencies.
- The model's pattern test contradicted its conclusion: several presets failed their advertised behaviour.
- Four-way symmetry can place only three stamps near an edge because the rectangular-grid rotation is clipped.

## Claim Accuracy

The core Game of Life rules appear sound, but several named library patterns are malformed. The model's own test showed LWSS, pulsar, pentadecathlon, and acorn dying or becoming static, then incorrectly declared those results correct.

## Notes

Manual review used the final source, Pi transcript, corrected smoke receipt, and a 1440 by 1000 headless-Chrome render. One sample at one seed; no model output was repaired after the run.
