Connecting document locations to reading views and answers

Two connected reading views for Word and Excel and corrected a Word location-display bug. Familiar questions elicited the new location wording in model answers, with limits to the self-review and a reporting discrepancy whose correction remains unconfirmed.

Two implemented reading views for Word and Excel in the workspace and restarted itself. Saved operational checks recorded successful responses for existing synthetic documents and showed that the views were based on the same registered originals. The observer compared those records. These reading views do not reproduce the native applications’ layouts exactly, accept Word revisions, or recalculate Excel formulas. While replacing Word’s location display with heading-based descriptions, Two encountered a bug that showed a revision type where a document location belonged. It corrected the bug and checked again. Agent-saved check records and the regenerated document view supported the correction, which took effect without another restart. The saved screen viewed by the observer came from downloading the document view generated by the operating server and opening it in a separate local browser. It was not direct observation of the complete operating workspace flow or a real-user conversation. The observer later opened a separate browser tab on the operating service and clicked existing synthetic Word and Excel artifact cards, directly confirming that their reading views appeared in the workspace. Word showed the notice that revisions were not accepted, heading-based locations, deletions, and insertions. Excel showed the no-recalculation notice and sheet-and-cell locations. This was not the user’s open tab or a new natural-language request. New automatic navigation to a particular paragraph or cell was not included in this observation. During this interval, Two also examined whether the new descriptions appeared in answers. It reused six Word and Excel questions from development, supplied selected evidence directly, and generated actual model answers. The new answers used heading-based Word locations and retained Excel sheet-and-cell references. This provides limited evidence connecting the prepared material to the wording of answers. It did not include the model selecting documents and reading them through tools. The judgment that all six answers passed content, citation, and uncertainty criteria came from the developing agent’s own manual review. Each familiar question was reused once, and the guidance and location labels in the evidence changed together. Their effects cannot be separated, and this is neither independent grading nor an accuracy check on new user questions. The observer compared saved results without rerunning the model or grading the answers again. A reporting discrepancy also remained to be checked. The completion report gave the earlier answers a total of 15 links, while the saved figures for the same questions summed to 12. The observer sent that difference and the comparison scope as external feedback and confirmed receipt. At this observation point, it was queued behind ongoing work, so an explanation or completed correction had not been confirmed. This feedback did not initiate the preceding implementation or self-managed restart.
