Research direction

Read src/meridian/runtime/trial_runner.py at _verdict to trace how timed-out trials are scored and how the verifier result is handled. The issue asks for a decision about a flag and reporting, so first clarify those choices in the discussion before implementation. If adopted, add tests for the chosen behavior; done means the decision is recorded and the adopted change is implemented with tests.

Description

area: grading enhancement needs discussion size: M
Context

A timed-out trial is scored timeout without looking at its final state. Harbor runs the verifier anyway. In one run the agent had already written the right file when it was killed.

What to do

Discuss whether this belongs behind a flag, and how to report it (for example pass-after-timeout counted as a fail for pass^k but shown separately).

Done when

A decision is recorded, and if adopted, implemented with tests.

Where to look

src/meridian/runtime/trial_runner.py (_verdict)
