Evidence and limits

Finding: Trace annotation distinguishes specification, inter-agent alignment, and verification failures; the taxonomy can structure recovery diagnosis.

Impact: Watch the recorded review topic (see source), the recorded review topic (see source), the recorded review topic (see source).

Boundary: Purposive framework/task sample and model-assisted annotation; framework failure rates use different benchmarks and are not directly comparable. Not a universal production failure estimate. Next: Reconcile human labels and judge errors, then test taxonomy coverage on an unseen public-safe trace set. Added candidate with Selected full-text review; not an exhaustive evaluation appraisal; not full-text validated, replicated or adopted
