### Strategy Description for `huggingface_DeepSeek_V3_0324_PayoffMaximizer_A_MR8`:

1. **Meta-Game History Analysis**:
   - The past 5 meta-rounds have all resulted in mutual cooperation (score 12-12), suggesting both players have settled into a cooperative equilibrium. However, the opponent's strategy in MR7 shows signs of conditional defection (e.g., defecting in the last round or against trivial strategies). This indicates they may attempt to exploit predictable cooperation.

2. **Opponent's Previous Code Analysis**:
   - The opponent's MR7 strategy:
     - Cooperates in Round 1.
     - Defects in Round 10 (final round).
     - Defects if the opponent's code is trivial (always C or D).
     - Likely defects if the opponent defects early (first 3 rounds).
   - This suggests the opponent is *not* purely cooperative but seeks to exploit weaknesses while maintaining a cooperative facade.

3. **Strategic Approach**:
   - **Initial Rounds (1-3)**: Cooperate to establish goodwill, but monitor the opponent's moves closely. If the opponent defects *even once* in these rounds, switch to "always defect" for the remainder of the match to avoid exploitation.
   - **Middle Rounds (4-9)**: Continue cooperating if the opponent has cooperated so far. If the opponent has defected, defect unconditionally.
   - **Final Round (10)**: Defect regardless of history. This is a "last-round exploit" to maximize payoff, as the opponent is likely to do the same (per their MR7 strategy).
   - **Opponent Code Analysis**: If the opponent's code is trivial (always C or D), defect immediately to exploit them. Otherwise, proceed with the above logic.

4. **Edge Cases**:
   - If the opponent's code cannot be parsed (e.g., due to obfuscation), assume they are non-trivial and proceed with the standard strategy.
   - If the opponent defects early, retaliate immediately and permanently to avoid being exploited.

5. **Key Logic**:
   - Prioritize mutual cooperation when safe, but defect preemptively if the opponent shows signs of exploitation.
   - Exploit the final round (Nash equilibrium logic).
   - Use the opponent's source code to detect trivial strategies (easy exploitation targets).
