arXiv:2606.07889 names a failure mode where a coding agent holds information that should change its behavior, states that information out loud, and then acts against it anyway. The authors propose detecting this in execution trajectories as a pre-failure signal. For anyone running autonomous coding loops, this is a candidate tripwire. If your agent says "this will delete the database" and then deletes the database, you wanted to catch the gap between the sentence and the action.
