Researchers introduce STRACE (Structural TRajectory Analysis and Causal Extraction), a framework for constructing high signal-to-noise optimization contexts for long-horizon LLM agents. At the batch level, STRACE mines failure patterns to filter redundant traces; within each trace, it performs causal localization over a textual dependency graph to isolate root-cause steps. On the formal verification benchmark VeruSAGE-Bench, STRACE achieves a 1.4× success-rate improvement (42.5% to 58.5%) over human-expert-designed agents, outperforming standard context-filtering baselines.
