The ultimate test for coding agents isn't local editing—
it's whole-repo evolution, and right now, the survival rate is 5.4%.
Today we’re releasing SWE Refactor Bench, a benchmark for long-horizon, whole-repository software stack migration.
Coding agents are getting very good at fixing bugs.
But can they refactor an entire system, C → Rust, Maven → Gradle, POSIX → WebAssembly?
We built 20 real migrations across projects, including SQLite, zlib, libsodium, and GraphHopper.
520 runs. Only 28 survived all 3 stages. 13/20 tasks were solved by nobody.
System-scale migration is still wide open.
