A Context-Contaminated Restart Model derives exact success probabilities and an optimal pipeline depth T* = sqrt(B * log(1/(1-ε1)) / log(1/(1-ε0))) for fixed budget B, validated on SWE-bench where it fits data far better than IID assumptions.

TraceToChain models LLM agent traces as absorbing DTMCs using automatic clustering and smoothed MLE, with KS and AIC validation, to reconcile pass@k, pass^k, and RDC as projections of a single first-passage success-time distribution.
A 2x2 factorial experiment on Qwen3.5-4B shows that relational structure and first-person register interact to drive behavioral persistence after functional collapse, while attention tracks lexical surprise and emotion probes track structure alone.

Why Retrying Fails: Context Contamination in LLM Agent Pipelines
A Context-Contaminated Restart Model derives exact success probabilities and an optimal pipeline depth T* = sqrt(B * log(1/(1-ε1)) / log(1/(1-ε0))) for fixed budget B, validated on SWE-bench where it fits data far better than IID assumptions.
