// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

Bolting an LLM into CI can save real time or quietly wreck your signal. This quiz covers advisory patterns and the hard line: do not make an uncalibrated free-form model the sole authority over pass or fail. A validated model grader can participate when its risks are measured and bounded.

// FIRST CONTACT

Battle teaser

A sound use of an LLM step in CI is:

  1. AMaking an uncalibrated free-form model the sole authority that decides whether the build passes
  2. BHaving the model rewrite failing tests to pass
  3. CSummarizing a failed run and suggesting likely causes, as an advisory annotation on top of the deterministic result
  4. DReplacing assertions with 'ask the model if it looks right'
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
