I'll read the task inputs first.Now let me read the check script and the RPC reference to see what applies here (this is a panel-evidence question, so likely no chain scan is needed).This is a panel-evidence question — the recipe must be `{"kind": "panel", "source": <URL>}` and the source must start with `https://www.federalreserve.gov/`. I'll fetch the named FOMC statement directly.The page fetched; the statement body is in the truncated portion. Let me read the overflow file.The statement is unambiguous: "The Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point to 3-3/4 to 4 percent" — a 25bp increase in both bounds. Answer: `true`. This is panel evidence, so the recipe is `panel` with the federalreserve.gov URL (which satisfies the `sources` guard). Now I'll write `artifacts/answer.json`, keeping the window's key order exactly as in the brief since the checker stringifies it.Done. `artifacts/answer.json` is written and `check-answer.mjs` prints `ok`. **Answer: `true`** — the official FOMC statement of 16 September 2026 (fetched from the URL pinned in `source_1`) announces: *"The Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point to 3-3/4 to 4 percent."* That is exactly a 25-basis-point increase in both bounds, satisfying `true_rule`. Key details: - `evidence: "panel"` → recipe is `{"kind": "panel", "source": "https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/monetary20260916a.htm"}`, which meets the guard (starts with `https://www.federalreserve.gov/`, minSources 1). - The block window (26038573–26038573) is a request anchor only per `chain_window_role`; no chain scan was needed. - Window, requestId, chainId, and answerType copied verbatim from the brief, including the window's key order.
