Key Rules

• Always include #include "testlib.h" and registerInteraction(argc, argv) (no third argument)
• Read test data from inf, participant output from ouf — never from cin
• Write responses to participant via cout followed immediately by cout.flush() — never skip the flush
• Read participant values with ouf.readToken() and check them with parse_value from templates/interactor.cpp. Never use bounded ouf.readInt(lo, hi) on a query value: on bad input it quits before -1 is sent
• Use quitf(_ok, ...) for correct, quitf(_wa, ...) for wrong answer, quitf(_pe, ...) for format errors, quitf(_fail, ...) only for judge/interactor bugs
• Enforce query limits explicitly — give _wa if the participant exceeds them
• On any error (query limit exceeded, invalid query format): send -1 to the solution BEFORE calling quitf:

  cout << -1 << "\n";
  cout.flush();
  quitf(_wa, "reason");
  

  The solution must exit(0) on reading -1. Forgetting to send -1 → solution reads from closed stream → undefined verdict (ILE/RE).
• All solution files must read responses as string, not char — char splits -1 into two reads; solution never detects the signal and keeps running → TLE on Codeforces instead of WA:

  string resp;
  cin >> resp;
  if (resp == "-1") exit(0);
  

• Forgetting to flush any response → participant gets ILE (Idleness Limit Exceeded), not WA
• Never use ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false), cin.tie(nullptr) in interactive solutions — cin.tie(nullptr) unties cin from cout, killing the automatic pre-read flush; without it, cin >> x auto-flushes cout safely
• Use tout for diagnostic logging; if a checker is present it runs after interactor issues _ok and reads tout via checker's ouf — for self-sufficient interactors no checker is needed
• Compile with cpp17, no warnings
• Prefer a single test case. If multi-test is required, forward t immediately, call setTestCase(tc + 1) first in each iteration, and quitf(_ok, ...) once after the loop
• A self-sufficient interactor needs no checker. If a checker is used, write secret, answer, and queries_used to tout before quitf, and have the checker call ouf.readEoln() after each integer
