  1. Front
    What to trace per agent step?
    Back
    Prompt version, chosen tool and arguments, result, tokens, latency, cost and errors: enough to replay a failure.
  2. Front
    pass@k vs pass^k, and which fits a one-shot agent?
    Back
    pass@k: at least one of k runs succeeds. pass^k: all k succeed. A one-shot agent needs pass^k, which exposes the run-to-run variance that pass@k hides.
  3. Front
    Why grade an agent by state, not by its final message?
    Back
    The message is a claim and can be false. Check the world afterwards (the database row, the passing tests, the file), then use trajectory metrics for cost and risk.
