The README gets the same review the design had. Wrong claims removed: - "the same turn limit": there is none; trials are bounded by budget and timeout - "the evidence check is the only check on it": the control fixture checks the judge too - "Still to come: nothing": trials have run Missing parts added: - the control fixture and the second judge - `security.py`, `reuse.py`, `withdrawn.json`, `control/`, the arms' `generation.json`, and the brief and change-prompt files, in the path table Outdated for round 3: - `--arms` examples run all five arms - the "two arms are reused" reason for `--arms` is gone, in the README and in `harness.py`'s help - reuse shrinks to its own short subsection - security notes it becomes primary from round 3 Structure: - the scoring section splits into scoring, judging, security, reporting, one run at a time, and reuse - "How a trial ends" becomes a section, not a lone subsection - dense paragraphs become rule, bullets and a one-line why - a judging diagram - "What the arms receive" and the hidden suite's validation history point to the design instead of repeating it "Pre-registered" is replaced in the current docs and code comments that still used it. The dev journal keeps it as written. Part of #1767. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Part of #1767. This is the README review (fix 20 of the owner's 2026-09-24 reading), the last of the four PRs after #1843, #1844 and #1845.

No entry. This covers the benchmark's own docs and tooling, and nothing a consuming project reads.
