  "why_included": "Repo-only tasks omit deployments, incidents, traffic, and distributed failures. Training infrastructure agents may require multi-node environments with real resources, despite much higher setup cost.",
  "summary": "Current coding tasks often keep agents inside one repository for **50–100 turns**. Emulated instead packages organizational context, deployments, live-service constraints, network failures, corruption, and clock skew into training environments.",
  "practical_implication": "If an agent will operate production infrastructure, evaluate the entire operational loop rather than only its patch. The proposed **multi-node sandbox** provisions real cloud resources so agents can practice deployment, rollback, observability, and blast-radius decisions.",
  "agent_context": "Current coding tasks often keep agents inside one repository for **50–100 turns**.

The proposed **multi-node sandbox** provisions real cloud resources so agents can practice deployment, rollback, observability, and blast-radius decisions.\n\nThis remains an emulation: customer traffic and failures that appear only at scale are still missing. Some stacks take **hours** to provision, making rollout duration, cost, reproducibility, and the remaining simulation-to-reality gap unresolved constraints.",

  "connected_context": {
    "meaning": "This expands coding-agent evaluation from repository completion to the full operational lifecycle: deployment, rollback, observability, failures, and blast radius. It therefore narrows what existing long-running harness and code-generation results establish; successful patches or applications do not demonstrate production operation. Multi-node sandboxes are a plausible bridge, but provisioning cost and missing scale-dependent traffic preserve a material simulation-to-reality gap.",
