The work targets multi-repository features and bug fixes, which the authors say are common in software ecosystems but not yet covered by current task-completion assessments.", "body_md": "Coding-agent evaluation has progressed from resolving individual issues to carrying out long-horizon development, yet task completion is still largely assessed within a single codebase. In software ecosystems, many features and bug fixes require coordinated changes across multiple repositories.
