hey AmonRa,
are you testing your submissions with the runner.py before submitting?
from the agent
"tickers = features.columns.get_level_values('ticker').unique()
The column levels are unnamed, so this raises KeyError: 'Level ticker not found' — I reran it against the real data and got the identical crash. Note he did defensively wrap the same call in train() (lines 77–84, try/except → self.n_assets = 20), so training survives — but the predict() copy is unguarded, and that's where it dies. His "FIXED BACKEND CRASH 3" comment on that very block is, unfortunately, mistaken — he reworded the code around it but left the name-based lookup."
