arXiv 2608.13404 analyzed 5,968 IaC-Eval scenario timelines across 15 configurations, tracking 30 CIS Benchmark check IDs for cases where a passing check fails after a repair iteration. Under strict detection, 3.3% of scenarios regress, resource restructuring is the root cause 79.0% of the time, and regressing transitions show 2.6x more code churn (Cohen's d=0.90). 36.6% of standard-mode regressions self-correct within an average of 1.2 iterations. Iteration 3 is the identified optimal stopping point. That's the rarest kind of paper output: an actual number to put in a config.
