- JavaScript and TypeScript bot builders
- Worth noticing
- Scoring sessions have no live operator input, and the organizers explicitly permit AI tools during preparation.
Field notes
The first task is to build a network client, with the site specifying TypeScript or JavaScript on Node.js and linking an OpenAPI 3.1 contract. Registration uses a one-time code, an organizer invitation to a private GitHub repository, and a .zoria file containing the entrant's network login. Later task parts are scheduled to appear in a network account; the public calendar also names a code freeze, group stage, trials, and final result.
