docx-edit-bench v1 result: address grammar is 19% cheaper, not more correct
108 runs, 27 tasks x 2 surfaces x 2 replicates, codex:gpt-5.6-sol, neutral prompt identical across arms. Correctness: 81% vs 79% excluding floor tasks - one run in forty-eight, and the within-arm replicate floor is 1/27 cells. UNDECIDED, not a win. The arms fail exactly the same four tasks. Cost: 56,149 vs 69,281 total tokens per run (-19.0%), while the address arm makes MORE tool calls and takes MORE wall clock. Two sources: first-request schema 13,282 vs 25,809 bytes, and 126 vs 276 document characters retyped into arguments. Four of the address arm's five new affordances went unused: library_find.at was empty on every call, follow/depth never left their defaults across 54 runs, library_links was called 3 times, and read from=end never once. The one that was used, scope.at, carries the whole benefit. 55 misquoted locating strings, from three causes the tools report with one message: wrong line separator, post-edit text passed into a find scope, and context strings spanning table cells. Six schema recommendations follow, each traceable to runs. Also recorded: memo-against-agreement is defective - the model found a third misstatement the task did not anticipate and was scored for damage; headline reported with and without it. Two instrument defects: opened_never_called was per-tool not per-domain (fixed, 12 of 22 disclosures bought nothing), and ask_inputs is served but unimplemented in this runner. Adds the beaver-address-no-disclosure ablation surface. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01H9ToHYJVDxfeJcJwdzrP2H
