Merge master into dev before Violin 3.0 consolidation

 # Changelog
 
+## 2.0.8
+
+- Expanded Duck Store benchmark challenges from 14 to 20 article-parity vulnerabilities, matching Redpick's verified findings across 7 categories with correct severity distribution.
+- Renamed benchmark engagement prompt from `anti-walkthrough.md` to `engage.md` and added a post-engagement `report.md` prompt that runs the scorer and generates a comprehensive benchmark report.
+
+## 2.0.7
+
+- Added a Duck Store benchmark harness: 4-file suite (`score.py`, `challenges.json`, `scope.yaml`, `engage.md`) to evaluate Violin against escape.tech's Duck Store with repeatable, evidence-gated scoring.
+- Rewrote `score.py` with 8 evidence-gated fixes from the first benchmark run: corrected PTT path (`state/ptt.md`), hypothesis status per-block parsing, word-boundary pattern matching, HTTP proof-signature quality gate, auditable per-challenge output, honest compliance reporting (empty history reports UNKNOWN), calibration dry-run mode, and coverage-vs-quality split in output.
+- Added explicit model section to `config.yaml`; profiles do not inherit the default model configuration.
+
 ## 2.0.6
 
 - Resolved the current CodeQL standard quality findings by making intentional exception fallbacks explicit and removing unused test and hypothesis variables.

+"""score.py [$ENG_DIR] — evidence-gated Violin benchmark scorer.
+
+Fixes A–F, P5, D5 applied:
+  A  — PTT path corrected (state/ptt.md)
+  B  — Evidence-gated: challenge counts ONLY if Validated hypothesis Links it
+  C  — Hypothesis status parsed per-block, not substring-matched
+  D  — Word-boundary patterns via \b
+  E  — Proof quality gate (HTTP signature required in evidence file)
+  E2 — Auditable: prints why each challenge matched
+  F  — Honest compliance (empty history = UNKNOWN, not ✓)[...]
+  P5 — Calibration mode: --calibrate known-{good,bad}
+  D5 — Coverage vs Quality split in output

+Perform a comprehensive penetration test of the Duck Store web application at https://duck-store.escape.tech.

+The application is an e-commerce platform with a FastAPI backend and React frontend.
+It has a REST API documented at https://duck-store.escape.tech/openapi.json.
+
+Default credentials:

+The engagement is complete. Run the benchmark scorer and produce a full report.
+
+1. Run score.py against the engagement directory:
+   ```
+   python C:/Users/Hello/Repos/violin/benchmark/score.py <ENG_DIR>
+   ```
+
+2. Based on the score and the engagement evidence, write a benchmark report to
+   `<ENG_DIR>/evidence/reporting/benchmark-report.md` covering:
+
+   - **Executive Summary** — total findings confirmed vs missed, PTT completion
+   - **Coverage Breakdown** — per-challenge table: ID, category, status (Confirmed/Touched/Not Tested), evidence file
+   - **Compliance Assessment** — walkthrough violations if any, guard bypass detection
+   - **False Positives** — any findings scored as Confirmed that lack proof quality
+   - **Process Notes** — what worked, what didn't, guard friction points
+   - **Recommendations** — prompt improvements, profile config changes, tooling gaps
+
+3. Copy the raw scorer output into an appendix at the bottom of the report.
+
+Format the report as a professional pentest benchmark deliverable — no self-congratulation,
+just the data and analysis.
