The Missing Complement: State-Conditioned Minimal Sufficient Evidence for Coding Agents
A coding agent halfway through an issue has already read much of what a retriever ranks highest. Relevance is scored per passage, but sufficiency belongs to the set: a ranker can fill its budget with variants of one required fact and leave the decision unsupported. We formulate state-conditioned minimal sufficient evidence recovery: given a captured agent state, recover a compact evidence combination that supplies the support its next decision still lacks. SERBench measures this on 500 held-out states from 45 repositories, recording what the agent has seen and crediting only sets that cover ev
