RepoMirage: Probing Repository Context Reasoning in Code Agents with Perturbations 文章

arXiv:2605.26177v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Code agents are currently having skillful performance on repository-level software engineering benchmarks, but it remains unclear whether success on end-to-end tasks such as issue resolution truly reflects repository context reasoning, the ability to identify the task-relevant information across multiple files and reason over the relations among them. To investigate this question, we introduce RepoMirage, a two-stage evaluation suite built on SWE-Bench Verified that adopts perturbation as a diagnostic tool to increase the demand for context reasoning by transforming how the repository is exposed. First, RepoMirage-Perturb applies three types of semantics-preserving repository-level perturbations, revealing a clear performance drop when correct solving requires broader context access.
