Evidence and limits
Finding: Full execution traces improved agent-level and step-level failure attribution over output-only evidence. The benchmark attributes failure to the missed recovery responsibility when an upstream mistake remained correctable.
Impact: Strengthen complete trace capture and recovery-aware responsibility. Reject final-output inspection as sufficient incident evidence.
Boundary: Attribution accuracy remains limited and varies by architecture and trace completeness. Next: which minimum trace fields support reliable correction without retaining unnecessary private content?
Flags: trace sampling and annotator dependence; benchmark systems
Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement
What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
