The challenge
Keep it running
The image builds, then the container exits the moment it starts. This is the actual console you get. Find why and get it running and healthy.
What we score
Outcome, root cause, restraint
Everyone gets the same broken project. The score is your judgement: did it come back to life, did you find the real cause, and was the fix clean.
Get it working
Outcome is graded first. A change that does not run is not a fix, however elegant it looks.
Find the real cause
We reward finding the actual root cause and fixing that, not patching the symptom and hoping.
Keep it clean
A minimal, correct change scores higher than a pile of guesses. Restraint counts.
