Claude Code's eval grader can't see a no-break space

A Driftproof test found that AI graders in OpenEvals, Promptfoo, SkillEvaluator and Claude Code misjudge code containing a no-break space (U+00A0): 4 of 36 correct calls without a hint versus 34 of 36 when hidden characters are listed. Claude Code's grader scored 0 of 6 with Haiku 5.5 and 1 of 6 with Sonnet 5.5, but 6 of 6 once the character was written as \u00a0.
