Sandbox comparison

Generic baseline vs grill-me on the same input, pinned to v1.2.0.

Sample input

gpt-4.1-mini · temp 0.2

PR adds a sandbox runner with no timeout, retries, or output size limits.

Generic baseline

38/100

Looks fine overall. Maybe add some error handling.

Skill-enhanced

93/100

Hard questions:
1. What happens on hung model calls?
2. How do you bound token/output cost?
3. Which failures are excluded from benchmarks?
Required fixes: timeout, output cap, retry policy, failed-run exclusion from lift metrics.
