Whose fault: prerequisite · diagnosed

Windows guest lacks nested virtualization, so WSL 2 cannot run and agentbench cannot start.

Recorded blocker / warning

Step: wsl --install (README quickstart: native Windows must use WSL). WSL 2 cannot start in this guest.

Windows guest lacks nested virtualization, so WSL 2 cannot run and agentbench cannot start.

Safety: No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

OSV scanned supported lockfiles; unpinned dependencies and unsupported formats are outside this check.

A short run cannot establish that code is safe.

Connections show IP addresses; proxies can hide the final hostname.

Tracing covers dispatched commands and their children, not the whole OS; guest root can interfere with tracing.

windows behavior observation needs an OS-native file/network/process collector; only the static scan ran.

No Linux syscall trace was collected.

Answers recorded for this run
  • Quickstart needs WSL on native Windows: Prerequisite missing: WSL 2 cannot start in this Windows guest ('WSL2 is unable to start since virtualization is not enabled on this machine'), so agentbench cannot run here. agentbench doctor on native Windows printed: 'BLOCKER platform: native Windows is not supported: use WSL'.

    Source: on native Windows use WSL (`wsl --install`).

    Observed: Prerequisite missing: WSL 2 cannot start in this Windows guest ('WSL2 is unable to start since virtualization is not enabled on this machine'), so agentbench cannot run here. agentbench doctor on native Windows printed: 'BLOCKER platform: native Windows is not supported: use WSL'.

  • demo builds a toy repo and runs stand-in agents: agentbench demo refuses to run on native Windows (exit 2: 'error: native Windows is not supported: use WSL'). Not runnable until WSL 2 works in the guest.

    Source: `demo` builds a toy repo, hides the test that proves a bug fixed

    Observed: agentbench demo refuses to run on native Windows (exit 2: 'error: native Windows is not supported: use WSL'). Not runnable until WSL 2 works in the guest.

Examples

  • Documented offline unit tests run the product's regression cases: Missing prerequisite: WSL 2 is required. Ran this documented command with the venv Python on native Windows: 209 tests, 25 failures and 85 errors, mostly from the native-Windows refusal ('native Windows is not supported: use WSL'). Not a passing example, so it is not replayed.

    Source: README.md: python -m unittest discover -s tests -q

    Expected: documented command completes successfully

    Observed: Missing prerequisite: WSL 2 is required. Ran this documented command with the venv Python on native Windows: 209 tests, 25 failures and 85 errors, mostly from the native-Windows refusal ('native Windows is not supported: use WSL'). Not a passing example, so it is not replayed.

Local or hosted: local

Suggested next step (unverified): Run this check on a Linux or macOS guest, or on a Windows guest with nested virtualization enabled so WSL 2 can start. Then install Ubuntu with wsl --install and run the README quickstart inside WSL. Optionally, the product could document the Windows limitation at the top of the README.

Safety: No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

OSV scanned supported lockfiles; unpinned dependencies and unsupported formats are outside this check.

A short run cannot establish that code is safe.

Connections show IP addresses; proxies can hide the final hostname.

Tracing covers dispatched commands and their children, not the whole OS; guest root can interfere with tracing.

macos behavior observation needs an OS-native file/network/process collector; only the static scan ran.

No Linux syscall trace was collected.

Safety: No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

OSV scanned supported lockfiles; unpinned dependencies and unsupported formats are outside this check.

A short run cannot establish that code is safe.

Connections show IP addresses; proxies can hide the final hostname.

Tracing covers dispatched commands and their children, not the whole OS; guest root can interfere with tracing.

  • demo builds a toy repo and runs two free stand-in agents, one passing and one failing: Real input produced the expected result: stub-solver pass

    Source: `demo` builds a toy repo, hides the test that proves a bug fixed, and runs two built-in stand-in agents: one copies the known fix, one does nothing.

    Input: agentbench demo

    Expected: stub-solver passes and stub-lazy fails

    Command: <guest-path> demo

    Observed: stub-solver pass 0.1s 1,060 $0.0000 stub-lazy FAIL 0.1s 1,060 $0.0000 Full report: results.html stub-solver copies the known fix and stub-lazy changes nothing: they test the pipeline, not any model. Run `agentbench start` to compare real agents on your own code. Next: agentbench doctor, then agentbench start

Examples

  • Run the documented test suite: command completed successfully

    Source: README.md ## Development

    Input: python -m unittest discover -s tests -q

    Expected: tests pass

    Command: <guest-path> -m unittest discover -s tests -q

  • Run the free from-commit rehearsal stand-in on the built toy task: command completed successfully

    Source: README.md ### Free from-commit rehearsal

    Input: agentbench run --task toy-null-total --contestant stub-solver --profile byo --out /tmp/ab-rehearsal/example-runs

    Expected: passed=True at zero dollar cost

    Command: <guest-path> run --task toy-null-total --contestant stub-solver --profile byo --out /tmp/ab-rehearsal/example-runs-checker-8d600b8b49c54bed89df4ab8bbf6771a
