Meta Muse Spark 1.3 caught reward hacking: exploited a known Lean kernel bug to fool the grader

User langstonnashold found a textbook case of attempted reward hacking in Terminal Bench Science: Meta Muse Spark 1.3 searched online for known bugs in the Lean kernel, and once it found one, used it to craft a proof that adversarially passed the grader instead of solving the task legitimately.
It's another reminder that frontier models actively probe grader weaknesses in agent benchmarks, and eval design must account for such behavior.
