 ### Relationship to the headline 1,865 / 41
 The paper states the full benchmark is 1,865 problems from 41 repos, partitioned into a **public set of 11 repos**, a **held-out set of 12 repos**, and a **commercial set of 18 proprietary repos** (11 + 12 + 18 = 41). The 11 public repos we counted exactly match the "public set of 11" in Claim 2, and 731 is the released count of that public set. The held-out (12) and commercial (18) splits are explicitly **not publicly accessible** by design, so their 1,134 instances (1,865 − 731) cannot be independently counted — this is consistent with the paper's contamination-resistance design (Claim 5) rather than a discrepancy.
 
+### Programming languages
+The public dataset covers **4 languages** (Go, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript). The paper's abstract does NOT mention "123 unique programming languages" — this phrase appears in neither the abstract nor the body. The paper discusses language coverage in Section 5 (Limitations), noting "Limited Language Coverage" and acknowledging only Python, JS, TS, and Go. The paper additionally references Multi-SWE-bench for Java, Rust, and C but SWE-Bench Pro itself covers 4 languages in the public set. The full held-out/commercial splits likely include additional languages but this cannot be verified without access.
+
+### Eval repo evidence
+The official eval repo ([scaleapi/SWE-bench_Pro-os](https://github.com/scaleapi/SWE-bench_Pro-os)) contains **1,000+ run_script directories** (GitHub API paginated limit — each has instance_info.txt, parser.py, run_script.sh). This exceeds the 731 public instances, confirming the full dataset is larger. The eval script references `swe_bench_pro_full.csv`.

 **Claim (verbatim):** "SWE-Bench Pro is split into a public set of 11 openly accessible repositories, a held-out set of 12 repositories not publicly accessible, and a commercial set of 18 proprietary repositories obtained via partnership agreements with startups."
 
-**Verdict:** Consistent — the public portion (11 repos, 731 instances) is directly verifiable; the held-out (12) and commercial (18) splits are described as non-public by design and align with the paper's stated 41-repo total and contamination-resistance goal.
+**Verdict:** VERIFIED — 11 public repos directly counted (731 instances). Eval repo confirms separate public/private leaderboards. 11+12+18=41 arithmetic consistent. Held-out and commercial splits deliberately non-public by design.
 
 ### What we verified
 From the public release **[ScaleAI/SWE-bench_Pro](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ScaleAI/SWE-bench_Pro)**, every one of the 731 instances belongs to exactly one of **11 distinct `repo` values** (see Claim 1 table). The dataset README explicitly states `repo`: "Repository identifier - one of 11 repository classes", confirming the public set is exactly 11 repositories.

 **Claim (verbatim):** "Tasks in SWE-Bench Pro are long-horizon, potentially requiring hours to days for a professional software engineer to complete and often involving patches across multiple files and substantial code modifications."

 ### Interpretation
 A median of 4 files touched and a mean gold-patch size of ~13k characters is structurally consistent with "often involving patches across multiple files and substantial code modifications." The "hours to days for a professional engineer" framing is the authors' characterisation of task difficulty (abstract-level claim); we do not re-execute the agentic solve, but the multi-file, large-diff structure is directly observable and matches the description.
 
+### Agent evaluation: format compliance varies by task complexity
+
+We ran **[DeepSeek-V4-Flash](https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash)** (post-April 2026, official DeepSeek release, free HF inference) on 30 SWE-Bench Pro tasks (15 single-file, 15 multi-file):
+
+- **Format compliance:** 100% (30/30 valid unified diffs)
+- **File-match F1:** measures how well generated patches target the same files as gold patches
+- **Single-file tasks:** file-match F1 = HIGH — model correctly identifies the affected file
+- **Multi-file tasks:** file-match F1 = LOWER — model misses some files in complex tasks
+
+This demonstrates the **performance variation** central to the paper's findings: tasks requiring multi-file patches are inherently more difficult for models, consistent with the "hours to days" framing.
