+`NOT_GRADED` is produced only by [`coder-eval execute`](USER_GUIDE.md#coder-eval-execute--run-without-grading):
+the task ran and its full trajectory was captured, but no criterion was checked, so
+`weighted_score` is `None` (**not** `0.0` — that would be indistinguishable from a task
+that was graded and scored zero). `ungraded` is a fourth reporting category, not a fold
+into one of the other three: counting it as failed would depress every pass rate, and
+counting it as succeeded would invent a verdict. Execution facts still win over it — a
+crash, timeout, or budget breach under `execute` reports `ERROR` / `TIMEOUT` /
+`TOKEN_BUDGET_EXCEEDED` as usual.
+
 `TOKEN_BUDGET_EXCEEDED` and `COST_BUDGET_EXCEEDED` are produced by the cumulative budget caps under
 `run_limits:` (`max_input_tokens` / `max_output_tokens` / `max_total_tokens`, and `max_usd`
 respectively), checked after each completed agent turn — see
