Research direction

Start by reading the run history storage under src/meridian/store/ and the task model in src/meridian/models/task.py, then trace how reports are produced. Determine what evidence the stored runs provide for comparing a task’s pass rate with chance variation. Done means a report identifies flaky tasks and includes the evidence supporting each flag.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

area: gate enhancement size: M
Context

Some tasks pass in one run and fail in the next with the same agent. They add noise to every verdict.

What to do

Using stored run history, flag tasks whose pass rate varies more than chance would explain, and suggest quarantining them (tasks already support state: quarantined).

Done when

A report lists flaky tasks with the evidence.

Where to look

src/meridian/store/, src/meridian/models/task.py
