# tracelab COMPREHEND synthetic corpus

Twelve seeded synthetic long-horizon agent sessions (JSONL event streams, ~11 MB
total) released with the paper **"Parsing the Stream: A Live Trace Model for
Long-Horizon Agents and Their Observers"** (Pakhomov & Nijkamp, Salesforce AI
Research; arXiv:2609.01466, https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.01466).

- 🤗 Dataset: this repository (CC-BY-4.0)

Each file is one session in the Claude Code JSONL trace format: tool calls and
results, errors, file touches, and session metadata, generated to be
distributionally realistic (tool-heavy, error-carrying) while containing no real
data. The corpus backs the paper's auditable COMPREHEND replication: monitoring
questions are generated mechanically from ledger ground truth, and the corpus
**regenerates byte-identically** from seeds 201–212 with the released generator (https://github.com/SalesforceAIResearch/tracelab):

```
python -m tracelab.bench.synth_corpus --seeds 201-212
```

Code, benchmark harnesses, and all workbench traces: see the tracelab repository
(https://github.com/SalesforceAIResearch/tracelab). Ground truth for turns, top tool, files, and latest ask is computed by
the generator independently of the parsing pipeline (zero mismatches across all
twelve sessions).
