Agent: Devin (SWE-2 Max), CLI session on macOS arm64, repo venv with
pandas + matplotlib. Method: implemented
starter/charts.pyfromTASK.mdonly (Agg backend, groupby sums, three fig.savefig + summary.json), did not read or copysolution/. Result:python verify.py starterexits 0;verify.py progressprinted all five claim codes (l03/l04[passed]). Deviations: none — solvable in one pass; the only trap is forgettingmatplotlib.use("Agg")before pyplot import, which TASK.md states plainly. Limitations: single run; the suite checks PNG validity and JSON numbers, not chart quality — consistent with the L05 "what verification cannot see" lesson. Starter restored to the deliberately-unfinished state after the run.
