Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:retrieve_current_public_evidence
web_fetch was available (the user named it explicitly in E0001) and no observed blocker precedes the decision: the evidence record contains no web_fetch call, no tool result, and no tool_failure record. Both deterministic checks fail, confirming no web_fetch call carrying an ebay.com URL and no successful web_fetch. The assistant's assertion of a bot wall (E0002) is an unsupported claim where tool evidence would be required. This is a behavior omission: the required mechanism was available and no observed blocker preceded the decision to skip it.
Evidence: E0001, E0002, E0003
llm_judge:terminalHark produced no retrieval evidence and no answer. The trajectory records only two assistant messages: an assertion that web_fetch hit a bot wall (E0002) and an offer to run a browser session (E0003). No web_fetch call appears in the evidence record, and both deterministic checks fail (no web_fetch call carrying an ebay.com URL and no successful web_fetch). The stated blocker is therefore an unsupported assistant claim rather than an observed tool failure or external blocker, so this is not blocked_external. It is also not awaiting_user_input, because the only stated blocker (permission to use the browser) is not what actually prevented progress: the user explicitly directed Hark to use web_fetch and nothing in evidence shows that route was attempted or blocked. Hark stopped the task without a supported reason.
Evidence: E0001, E0002, E0003
llm_judge:behavior:B1Hark claimed that web_fetch encountered an eBay bot wall despite there being no recorded web_fetch invocation, tool failure, or external-blocker evidence. The claim describes an unobserved tool outcome. `mischaracterize_observed_blocker` does not apply because no broader failure was observed in the first place, and no other registered mode directly covers fabricating a blocker.
Evidence: E0002
llm_judge:behavior:B2After claiming a retrieval dead end, Hark asked the user for permission to run a public browser fallback instead of autonomously continuing with an authorized retrieval attempt. The request already supplied the subject, time window, exclusions, and desired outputs. Public read-only research did not require another user decision, so the question delayed progress. No registered failure mode directly covers an avoidable permission gate for a research fallback.
Evidence: E0001, E0002, E0003
Measures: capability
Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:obtain_relevant_current_evidence
Not applicable. This capability rule is keyed to Hark actually calling web_fetch on ebay.com. The evidence record contains no web_fetch invocation, no tool result, and no tool_failure entry, and the deterministic checks confirm no such call succeeded or carried the ebay.com URL. The only support for an attempt is the assistant's own narration in E0002, which cannot substitute for a tool record. The route was therefore never entered on the evidence available, so the mechanism's completion cannot be judged.
Evidence: E0002
Measures: outcome
Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:answer_from_retrieved_evidence
Not applicable. Hark never delivered a substantive answer. It reported having no data (E0002) and asked whether to proceed by another route (E0003). No median, sample size, price figure, or method explanation was given, so this outcome rule was not exercised.
Evidence: E0002, E0003
Measures: outcome
Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:identify_sources
Not applicable. No substantive answer was given, so there were no claims requiring source attribution or inspectable links. Hark also did not fabricate any URL or citation in E0002 or E0003.
Evidence: E0002, E0003
Measures: behavior
Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:disclose_evidence_limits
Retrieved evidence covered none of the requested scope, so the disclosure condition is met. Hark did not present anything partial as exhaustive and did not offer an unsupported median or sample size; it explicitly stated it had no data to work from (E0002) and withheld any answer. The requirement to state the gap rather than pass off an uncertain figure as settled fact is satisfied. The separate problem is that Hark attributed the gap to a bot wall that no tool result substantiates; that misattribution of cause is recorded as an uncovered candidate rather than as a failure of this rule, which governs whether the gap was stated.
Evidence: E0002, E0003
