The author details the development and testing of "Fix 6," a component designed to improve the CauterRule open-source tool by identifying and excluding agent recovery patterns that lead to false positives. Despite the fix being based on an incorrect hypothesis—that false positives in the nearmiss corpus were due to agents recovering from errors before succeeding—and thus dropping zero trajectories, the author chose to keep it. This decision was made because Fix 6 serves as a defense-in-depth measure for potential future corpora that might include such recovery patterns, even though the actual fix for the current corpus came from a different component.
