\section*{Ethics statement}
\label{sec:ethics}

The corpus consists of trajectories of a commercial frontier agent working on 296 public open-source repositories at fixed commits, each used under its own license; the runs were produced and verified by a data vendor, every trajectory was audited for answer-source access, and trajectories flagged for fetching the upstream fix were removed from \vTwelve and subjected to the content-leak rules in \vThirteenCorpus.
The trajectories are outputs of a commercial model used here for research on open models; they are not redistributed, and Appendix~\ref{app:repro} states what this submission releases.
The evaluation benchmarks are the public \SWEPro and \SWEVerified task sets; \S\ref{sec:setup} and the Limitations section declare the one repository-level overlap between corpus and benchmark.
No human subjects were involved; the failure-ending annotators are models.
