ExplainBench found explanation quality diverges from SWE-bench Verified scores, with agents recurrently asserting patch correctness that didn't hold, which is exactly the failure that defeats review by making a bad patch read as vetted. A dedicated audit agent running additional tests improved trustworthiness across every agent evaluated. Cheap second pass, high leverage.
