- Gather citations for market claims (vendor count, $3k-$50k per-task costs, contract sizes) and replace anecdotal phrasing where sources are weak.
- Verify and cite claims about commercial environment providers; decide whether to keep company examples or generalize.
- Convert
paper/position/paper.mdinto the ICML 2026 template (PDF submission) and ensure: figure captions below, table captions above, Type-1 fonts. - Check 8-page main-body limit in the ICML template and trim or move material to appendices/supplement as needed.
- Audit for double-blind compliance across the full paper (URLs, self-references, acknowledgments) and restore links post-review.
- Decide whether TRACE implementation details belong in the main body or should be shortened/moved to appendix or supplementary.
- Strengthen falsifiability and boundary conditions of the position (when capture-replay should not replace replicas).
- Expand/strengthen “Alternative Views” to address the strongest opposing case with evidence or concrete hybrid designs.
- Add citations for record-and-replay/testing/web-archiving prior work to situate the position historically.
- Remove or cite unused references [13], [14], [19], [20], [21], [22] and ensure citation hygiene.
- Normalize Unicode and math formatting for LaTeX (e.g., replace
×,Σwith math mode). - Rename the “Alternative Views and Counterarguments” heading if needed to match the CFP requirement verbatim.
