We participated in Subtask A with our Structure-Aware Contrastive Cascade, a multi-stage architecture designed to distinguish between human-authored and machine-generated code by integrating generative reasoning with explicit structural linguistic features. Our system focuses on exploiting structural formatting signatures that frequently emerge in AI-generated code as a byproduct of post-training alignment and readability optimization. The pipeline utilizes a Qwen-2.5-Coder 14B model fine-tuned via QLoRA, incorporating stochastic data augmentation techniques to ensure robustness across unseen programming languages. Final classification is achieved through a late-fusion mechanism that combines contrastive probability scores with statistical metrics of code presentation density. For samples exhibiting high epistemic uncertainty, we implement a multi-agent adversarial debate step to refine the final verdict. This approach enabled our system to achieve a Macro F1 score of 0.802, ranking 3rd on the official leaderboard.
