<abstract>This paper describes our system for SemEval-2026 Task 13 Subtask B, which requires attributing source code to either a human author or one of 10 LLM families. Guided by dataset analysis, we identify three practical challenges: formatting fingerprints discarded by tokenizers, heterogeneous code lengths, and extreme class imbalance. We build on unixcoder-base with Explicit Stylistic Prompting, Language-Aware Truncation, and imbalance-aware training (Focal Loss, GeM pooling, multi-sample dropout, and bucket batching). Our system achieves 0.434 Macro F1 on the official hidden test set, ranking 4th out of 34 teams with only 125M parameters.
