TB2 Pattern Research

Research target: $ARGUMENTS

Use official Harbor documentation and the Terminal-Bench 2 repository as a pattern library only. Do not reproduce task wording, tests, solution code, hidden fixtures, or task assets.

For a case ID, write cases/<case_id>/private/pattern-research.md; otherwise return a self-contained memo. Include up to five relevant task patterns, hard elements, expected agent failure modes, originality constraints, asset/provenance risks, and a proceed/reshape/reject recommendation.

Reject a candidate when it is primarily service installation, a known linear recipe, obscured documentation lookup, slow setup, or a static-file exercise. Explain how the proposed case manifests at least three substantive difficulty dimensions in actual solver work.
