Summary

Content-consistency audit of https://cachex-ai.vercel.app against the original coursework.

Fixed (1 mismatch): the Part A report argued that both heuristics were admissible; the site said neither is, without saying the report claimed otherwise. The landing page, the A* Lab findings and the README now label this as corrected in 2026.

Checked and matching:

  • Landing: sample paths 8 and 13 cells (sample_output.txt, sample_output2.txt), dynamic depth thresholds 15/10/5% and the two-turn opening book (_4399/player.py), the six weights (utility/weights.json), Python 3.6 / NumPy / SciPy (environment.yml), Semester 1 2022 and the two-person team.
  • Original benchmark 144/160 (90.0%, Wilson 84.4% to 93.8%): re-ran uv run scripts/benchmark_agent.py, output byte-identical to agent-benchmark.json.
  • Agent card, DR-001 to DR-006 and /tournament: Elo and win-rate table, head-to-heads, 34 of 4,602 deeper searches, alpha-beta 444/480 and 0.6% to 92%, textbook 17% to 45%, 980/931/107 A* boards, 11.3 pp (9.1 to 13.3), parity fixture counts (184, 40, 237, 179, 143, 5), referee limits (60 s, 100 MB, n 3 to 15), the beta-update bug, scripted-line counts (50/43/34, 124 of 127).
  • Report text: Manhattan "slightly better as boards grow" matches the heuristic-study summary.

The Part A report argued that both Manhattan and Euclidean heuristics were
admissible. The paired study shows neither is on the hex grid, and the site
said so without noting that the original report claimed the opposite. The
landing page, the A* Lab findings and the README now say what the report
claimed and that it was corrected in 2026.

Content audit: every other landing, methods, agent-card, decision-record and
tour figure was traced to the original code, notebooks, report or the
reference-study data and matched. The original benchmark (144/160) was re-run
with uv and reproduced byte for byte.
