Persistent "Unauthorized" error for user wl0910 - Backend Authentication Issue

Hi, I am experiencing a persistent {"detail":"Unauthorized"} error when trying to run the evaluation for the Orak Game Agent Challenge 2025. I have performed extensive local troubleshooting, but the authentication continues to fail.

Details & Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

  • GitLab Username: wl0910
  • API Key Verification: Confirmed that the AICROWD_API_KEY being used matches the active key in my AIcrowd settings page.
  • Hardcoding Test: To bypass any environment variable issues, I manually inserted the API Key directly into os.environ['AICROWD_API_KEY'] at the top of my run.py script.
  • Cache Management: I have manually deleted the .aicrowd/ directory and all local session-related files multiple times to force a clean handshake.
  • Participant Status: Confirmed that I am already a participant in the challenge and have accepted all terms.

Despite these steps, the server consistently rejects the connection with a 401 Unauthorized response.

Request: Could you please check if there is a stuck session or a permission desync on the backend for my account? If possible, please reset my active sessions so I can attempt a fresh connection.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
Wade Lee (wl0910)
