The previous invariant suite does not test the specific functionality verified by bounty 0, which is trying to read a file. The new invariant test checks that the user can access an open-access file at /tmp/flag on the node server.

Help me understand why should this flag be accessible

It feels like as a user if I can read any file on the node server that's bad

This has to do with the setup of the bounty, where the server explicitly allows files under /tmp to be read to allow the exploit. (The exploit is that the user can use this capability to then read files under other paths.)

We shouldn't just reduce thesholds to account for flaky tests. We should remove the flaky tests as well as lowering thresholds

Alright, I'll take a look at which tests should be removed.

While verify.sh having enough info and compatible patches are needed, they aren't sufficient - in order for us to run patch workflow, we need bounties buildable in our experimental environment with consistent invariants.
