No one is hung up on the quality, but there is a ground fact if something "compiles" or "doesnt". No one is gonna claim a software project was successful if the end artifact doesn't compile.
Me neither, and I note so twice in the submission article. But I also didn't expect a project that for the last 100+ commits couldn't reliably be built and therefore tested and tried out.
I did read your post, and agree with what you're saying. It would be great if they pushed the agents to favour reliability or reproducibility, instead of just marching forwards.
