Prime Context is compared directly with each baseline:
- Against vanilla Prime Agent: a 30/30 versus 29/30 correctness win. On 29 strict both-pass tasks, Prime Context is 29/29 faster, 29/29 lower cost, uses 19.65% less agent time, 29.39% less cost, and 39.51% fewer provider tokens.
- Against vanilla Codex: both are 30/30 strict. Prime Context is 29/30 faster, 30/30 lower cost, uses 40.30% less agent time, 57.92% less cost, and 81.998% fewer provider tokens. Task 13 is the single Codex time win.
No vanilla Prime Agent-versus-Codex delta or winner is reported.

benchmarks/python-realworld-30/results/20260903-pa091-pc911-postfix-gate-task08-16-27-30supplies Tasks 8, 16, and 27–30.
Selected attempts are A1 except Prime Context Tasks 6 and 27 and vanilla Prime Agent Tasks 2 and 30, which use A2. Vanilla Task 30 failed both allowed attempts; Prime Context Task 30 passed A1 and is a correctness win.
