Summary

DynaRev injects additive, unconditional and runtime-conditioned revisions at semantic milestones across 181 web-agent tasks.

Web-agent benchmarks usually freeze the user's request before execution, unlike real interactions. DynaRev delivers revisions at task-defined milestones and scores correctness, responsiveness and efficiency across 181 tasks. Five evaluated models often completed only part of the revised requirements; rewriting the instruction while preserving browser state helped, while resetting the browser lost progress. The benchmark supplies a controlled testbed, not evidence that one revision strategy will generalize across deployed sites.

Why it matters
