Models navigate to the correct file for 92%+ of required deletions but cut the exact target line only 52% of the time, and 29% of passing patches wrap dead code in a conditional instead of removing it. Grep the diff for newly added if guards around code the task said to delete. It's a specific, searchable pattern.
