World Community Grid - View Thread - Valid MCM1-task ends up with 0 points

Just noticed a task that seems to have ended successfully and declared Valid, but it was rewarded zero points.

Last night at 00:00 UTC this was its entry:

$ grep -C10 468649052 /var/tmp/wcgresults.2024-03-16T00\:59\:02.2891483.0

        <ServerState>5</ServerState>
        <ValidateState>0</ValidateState>
        <FileDeleteState>0</FileDeleteState>
    </Result>

Note that its ValidateState was 0:

$ wcgresults -iV
Validate-
State	Meaning
   0	Pending validation
   1	Valid
   2	Invalid
   4	Pending verification
   5	Too late

So it was still awaiting to be validated. One hour later it was validated, its ValidateState had changed to 1 and we know what that means (see above):

$ grep -C10 468649052 /var/tmp/wcgresults.2024-03-16T01\:59\:01.2893845.0

        <FileDeleteState>2</FileDeleteState>
    </Result>

Let's have a quick look at the changes (differences between 00:00 and 01:00 UTC):

$ grep -C10 468649052 /var/tmp/wcgresults.2024-03-16T00\:59\:02.2891483.0 > /tmp/0059
$ grep -C10 468649052 /var/tmp/wcgresults.2024-03-16T01\:59\:01.2893845.0 > /tmp/0159
$ diff /tmp/0059 /tmp/0159 
10c10
<         <ModTime>1706928980</ModTime>

---

>         <FileDeleteState>2</FileDeleteState>

We can translate the ModTimes (as seen above):

$ date -ud@1706928980
Sat  3 Feb 02:56:20 UTC 2024
$ date -ud@1710549042
Sat 16 Mar 00:30:42 UTC 2024

Was it my only workunit from February awaiting validation?

$ grep -B18 -A2 "<ValidateState>0</ValidateState>" /var/tmp/wcgresults.2024-03-16T00\:59\:02.2891483.0 |
  grep -B14 -A6 "<ReceivedTime>2024-02-" | tee /tmp/VS0Feb | grep WorkunitId
        <WorkunitId>468649052</WorkunitId>
$

Yes. Here is the link to the workunit:
