"benchmark_issue_note": "The instruction says to use a search box, but the supplied screenshots show no visible quick-search field in the initial view; both the human and the only successful agent appear to solve the task through a filter affordance instead.",
"cross_run_summary": "All three browsergym observation modes terminated immediately at step 0 by reporting the task infeasible because no search box was visible. The only success came from browser_use, which used DOM-level element discovery, opened a Name column filter, entered \"Maria Chen,\" and then selected the filtered row. The task therefore separates DOM-aware workaround behavior from perception-limited modes and exposes an instruction/affordance mismatch.",
"primary_task_story": "This task is diagnostic because it is nominally a simple table-search-and-select flow, yet the visible UI does not obviously expose the promised search box. The human and successful agent both navigate an alternate filtering path, while three other runs fail without acting, making the task a strong probe of observability and benchmark wording rather than row-selection skill alone.",
"keep_revise_expand_retire_hint": "revise",
"keep_revise_reason": "Keep the task because it usefully differentiates observability regimes, but revise the wording or UI so the intended control is actually visible, or explicitly allow column-filter workflows.",
"confidence": "high",
"uncertainty_note": "The exact control clicked by the human at step 2 is not fully labeled in the packet, but the screenshots and successful agent trace consistently indicate a filter popover rather than a visible quick-search box."

"why": "The dominant pattern is not looping or misuse after interaction; it is immediate infeasibility reports caused by a mismatch between the instruction and the initially observable UI. In the browsergym ax_tree, som, and pixel runs, the agent never begins exploration because the promised search box is absent from its observation. The successful browser_use run shows the task is solvable, but only by finding an alternative filter entry point through richer DOM access. That makes the benchmark setup and wording the main issue, with grounding limitations amplifying the failures.",
