arXiv 2608.04975 is a domain-expert audit of all 65 SciCode problems, a component of the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and a standing eval in government and national-lab suites. 192 of the 263 defects, spread across 91% of main problems, wrongly rejected correct solutions via non-reproducible gold answers, over-tight tolerances, or self-contradictory specs. 78% of score-suppressing defects required specialized physics or math to spot, not proofreading. Re-evaluating twelve frontier snapshots on the corrected set lifts subproblem accuracy from 45-60% to 84-98% and main-problem accuracy from 9-27% to 69-92%. The widely-cited 2026 scientific-coding plateau was the instrument.
