What the Specification Did Not Say: Specification-Oracle Gaps in Test-Graded Coding-Agent Benchmarks
View original on arxiv.orgOverview
arXiv:2610.30635v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coding-agent benchmarks often describe a task in natural language but grade it with tests taken from the upstream project. Passing those tests can require information the description never states: a constant's name, a module path, an exact message. We call this a specification-oracle gap: where it exists, a benchmark also measures whether an agent reproduces upstream implementation details. We formalise the gap, including the inconsistencies that c
