Forecast accuracy does not tell us which past inputs produced a prediction. We separate three questions for time-series models with known delay structure: can the true delay be recovered from the observed data, does the model report it, and does the forecast actually use the same history?
arXiv:2608. 10433v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Time-series forecasters increasingly accompany numerical predictions with explicit temporal reports, such as delays or selected history, but a correct report need not describe the information actually used by the forecast.
arXiv:2608. 10433v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Temporal reports are increasingly emitted alongside numerical forecasts and are often interpreted as statements about the computation producing those forecasts.

arXiv:2607. 10972v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many evaluations of model outputs rely either on contracts checkable at evaluation time or on feedback that arrives within the operating loop.
The paper introduces paired, mechanism‑controlled stress tests that decompose changes in expected squared error for time‑series forecasting into environmental risk and forecast‑oracle distance. Using an origin‑conditioned predictive oracle, the authors validate three end‑to‑end controls and apply the benchmark to 24 forecasters, revealing that many models exhibit higher realized MSE yet lower oracle distance under frequent switching, and that environmental risk dominates in most scenarios. The study also demonstrates that visually compelling discovery profiles often fail to replicate on independent data‑generating process realizations, underscoring the importance of component‑wise diagnosis and held‑out stability audits.
