A benchmark for resuming interrupted software tasks reveals performance drops from interleaved work, and a context-management module improves recovery.
Software development sessions often involve several unfinished tasks rather than one issue carried through to completion. As coding agents take on repository-level development, they need to recover an earlier task's requirements and partial progress after intervening work. Existing repository-level benchmarks typically score one issue-to-patch episode and do not directly measure whether an agent can resume a task after advancing other unfinished work in the same repository. We introduce \ourmethod, a benchmark for focus-task resumption in sessions that interleave unfinished tasks drawn from the same source repository, with a persistent checkout for each task. Each focus task is evaluated…
