Only each benchmark's standard harness counts; product-harness runs (Claude Code, Codex and similar) are not matched to base models. Vals is the only source on this board, so after the first holder a crown change needs two consecutive Vals snapshots that agree. A snapshot is a new Vals release of the board, dated the day isitsota first saw it.
