arXiv:2610.01769v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents can generate code that appears correct but implements behavior the user never intended. This mismatch can arise when an agent silently resolves underspecified requirements through its own assumptions. As subsequent development builds on these assumptions, correcting the resulting behavior can become increasingly costly. Early clarification can help prevent such mismatches, but unnecessary questions can interrupt developers and slow down development. Existing methods struggle to identify key clarification questions while avoiding u
