Failure modes to watch
  • Non-determinism: Run the task more than once and compare the end state, not a single transcript. Record the trial count next to any success rate you cite.
  • Weak verification: Success requires an end-state check the agent does not grade for itself: tests, a database diff, or a separate judge that cannot see the gold label.
