From 8403907daf67ea4501c0750eeccf1dc8c89e6a80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: June Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 22:43:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add opt-in frame check for off-task record changes DeleteRecordTask.validate returns reward 1 as soon as the target row is gone, so a run that deletes the target plus unrelated rows scores the same as one that deleted only the target (issue #155). Add an opt-in frame check on AbstractServiceNowTask: a task declares the tables it touches, the base class snapshots them at agent handoff, and a validator can ask for the delta since. DeleteRecordTask is wired as the first consumer, gating on deletions outside the sanctioned target. Off by default (frame_gate=False), so existing runs and leaderboard numbers are unaffected; with the flag off it logs the off-task delta only. --- src/browsergym/workarena/tasks/base.py | 55 +++++++++++++++++++ .../tasks/compositional/delete_record.py | 23 ++++++++ 2 files changed, 78 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/browsergym/workarena/tasks/base.py b/src/browsergym/workarena/tasks/base.py index 34a8c1e..a655d40 100644 --- a/src/browsergym/workarena/tasks/base.py +++ b/src/browsergym/workarena/tasks/base.py @@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ def __init__( final_rel_url: Optional[str] = None, user_roles: List[str] = ["admin"], has_description: bool = False, + frame_gate: bool = False, ) -> None: """ Initialize the task @@ -81,11 +82,62 @@ def __init__( self.has_description = ( has_description # Whether the task has a description in L3 compositional tasks ) + # Opt-in frame check: when True, a validator may fail the episode on record + # changes outside the task's sanctioned footprint.
