arXiv:2607. 06411v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Developers increasingly delegate real maintenance work to product-grade coding agents, and many state tasks in their native language, in the style of a customer request rather than a curated English issue.

The paper investigates whether large language models can reliably reproduce official Eurostat statistics by generating executable code. It evaluates a coding agent across four experimental conditions—task only, task plus metadata, metadata with a repair loop using execution feedback, and metadata with a retry budget but no diagnostics—using 30 natural‑language tasks spanning seven domains and datasets. Results show that success depends on semantic validation against frozen specifications, a fully specified output contract, and a retry budget, rather than on execution diagnostics alone.

arXiv:2607. 13034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly automate multi-step engineering and informatics workflows, yet they rarely ask how much effort a task actually requires.
