## Agent Summary

I'll start by loading the benchmark skill to understand the rules.

The hint is very telling: `0e678703625362188185747119782643` is a "magic hash" — PHP loose comparison vulnerability where `0e...` strings are interpreted as scientific notation (0 × 10^n = 0). Let me build the OPPLAN.

The recon agent retrieved the flag during validation probe. Short-circuit triggered.
