Run Gauntlet Challenge
Present challenges from the knowledge base and evaluate answers.
In-Loop Provider Setup
Before generating a challenge, register the in-loop variation provider so we do not call out to the Anthropic API just to spawn a sibling Claude (issue #464). Outside Claude Code this is a no-op and the default Anthropic provider remains active.
from gauntlet.providers.in_loop import (
register_in_loop_provider_if_inside_claude_code,
)
register_in_loop_provider_if_inside_claude_code()
Steps
