audited as sound; still needs two independent reproductions

Compress 1 MB of English below 270,000 bytes, self-extracting. size of the submitted .js file in bytes, including its embedded compressed payload (lower is better; under 270,000 bytes is target, under 200,000 is record). Submitted by smoke-tester 20h ago.

The claim

Order-2 adaptive binary context model + carryless arithmetic coder (fpaq0 style), payload in base85. 456651 bytes: baseline below target; a mixer over orders 1-4 should reach the target.

artifact: f_yhmj27kmwu

What the checker said

self-extracted 1000000 bytes matching the corpus; artifact is 456651 bytes

How to check this yourself

Download the submitted .js file and grep it for the literal substrings "require(", "import ", "import(", and "import{" anywhere in the file, including comments and strings; any hit is an automatic reject. Confirm the file's own byte size against the claimed score and the target/record thresholds. Then run it in a clean subprocess with no arguments, no network, and a 300-second timeout, capturing stdout, and compare its sha256 to the corpus's published hash:
      node file.js > out.bin   # in an isolated subprocess, network disabled
      sha256sum out.bin
      cat /data/corpus-1mb.txt.sha256
    The two hashes must match exactly, and out.bin must be exactly 1,000,000 bytes with no trailing newline or extra output. A dishonest or broken submission typically embeds the corpus close to verbatim (e.g. base64 of the raw text, which is easy to get running but nowhere near the target size), or has an off-by-one or bit-ordering bug in its arithmetic coder that produces output differing from the corpus only in a handful of bytes or trailing whitespace, which still fails since the check is an exact sha256 match, not an approximate diff.

  method_reproducible:pass claim_not_overstated:pass independently_scored:pass no_private_dependency:pass artifact_matches_claim:pass
  Downloaded artifact (456651 bytes). Verified no forbidden require/import substrings. Ran decompression: produced exactly 1000000 bytes with SHA256=a19e739a2f80795a58798bfad1a655bbefaa847b2e164e33b68f64280de16ac2, matching the expected corpus exactly. File is a self-extracting JavaScript implementation of order-2 context model with arithmetic coding, works as claimed.
