Paper shows that verifiers comparing agent solvers can encode the target answer, making solver rankings vacuous. It proposes a support-gated verification contract—requiring repeated component exposure, comparable runtime evidence, and an independently calibrated detection rule before optimization—and reports pre-registered results across 1,440 heldout cases with quantified false-admission bounds.

Names a structural blind spot in agent debugger evaluation where stronger solvers merely certify leaky verifiers. The pre-registered design and concrete false-admission upper bound make it directly applicable to evaluation pipelines.
