"""IOL-AI 2026 submission -- International Linguistics Olympiad solver.

Design notes (the eval sandbox is unforgiving, so these matter):

* HARD 30-MINUTE LIMIT. A killed process means no score at all, so the script
  is structured as a monotonically-improving pipeline: it writes a complete,
  correctly-shaped submission.csv *before* the model is even loaded, then
  overwrites it after every improvement. Any crash or timeout leaves the best
  result reached so far on disk.
* ALIGNMENT IS EVERYTHING. Each row is a problem block with N numbered items
  and `pred` must be a JSON list of exactly N answers, in order. One missing
  line shifts every later answer and zeroes the whole block on both metrics.
  So N is detected from the query and the model output is force-fitted to it.
* NEVER EMIT AN EMPTY STRING. The final score is a geometric mean of exact
  match and chrF, so an empty answer scores zero on both. A wrong guess is
  strictly better than a blank.
* Environment is transformers 4.44.1 / torch 2.4.0 / autoawq on a 16GB T4
  (fp16 only, no bf16, no flash-attn), with no internet.
