Does the guess cache sync across machines at all, or is it purely local? I jump between my laptop and desktop for AoC and it'd be annoying to resubmit a 'too low' answer I already tried elsewhere.

Sorry for the delay, I missed this! Great question. The guess cache is local by default, but you can set ELF_CACHE_DIR to point it at a shared folder like iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, or anything that syncs across your machines. That will keep your guess history unified so you do not risk resubmitting a too low or too high answer. Happy puzzle solving!
