Unused function without clear purpose 
Tell me more
What is the issue?
The extract_section function appears unused in the code and its purpose is unclear without context.
Why this matters
Dead code increases cognitive load as readers try to understand its purpose and relationship to other code. If unused, it should be removed.
Suggested change ∙ Feature Preview
Either remove the unused function or if it's needed for future use, add a comment explaining its purpose and mark it as reserved for future use:
# Reserved for future use: Extracts text between start_marker and end_marker from conversation logsProvide feedback to improve future suggestions

Silent Failure in Privileged Action Processing 
Tell me more
What is the issue?
The code suppresses a potential exception when handling privileged actions by commenting out the error raising line.
Why this matters
If an error occurs while processing the trajectory for privileged actions, the code silently fails. This can lead to unexpected behavior where the agent continues without the required trajectory information.
Suggested change ∙ Feature Preview
The error should be properly handled to ensure the agent behaves correctly when trajectory information is missing:
try:
# trajectory processing code
except Exception as e:
raise RuntimeError(f"Failed to process privileged action trajectory for goal {self.goal}.") from eProvide feedback to improve future suggestions

Inefficient Row-wise DataFrame Operation 
Tell me more
What is the issue?
Using pandas apply() with axis=1 which is computationally expensive as it iterates row by row.
Why this matters
Row-wise operations in pandas are much slower than vectorized operations, impacting performance especially with large dataframes.
Suggested change ∙ Feature Preview
Use vectorized operations instead:
seed_df = pd.DataFrame({
'index': result_df.get('_row_index', None),
'seed': result_df.get(TASK_SEED_KEY, None),
'reward': result_df.get('cum_reward', None),
'err': result_df.get('err_msg', None).astype(bool),
'n_steps': result_df.get('n_steps', None)
})Provide feedback to improve future suggestions

Redundant State Change Before Exception
Tell me more
What is the issue?
The code sets exp_result to None before raising the ValueError, which is unnecessary since the exception will interrupt execution.
Why this matters
Setting state before raising an exception is redundant and could be misleading to maintainers about the object's state after an exception.
Suggested change ∙ Feature Preview
Remove redundant state change:
if len(sub_df) == 0:
raise ValueError(f"Could not find episode for row_index: {episode_id.row_index}")Provide feedback to improve future suggestions

Description by Korbit AI
What change is being made?
Introduce the
PrivalegedAgentand its components for enhanced privileged information handling, integrate new privileged action pathways, and add row indexing to various analysis modules.Why are these changes being made?
These changes are made to enable the
GenericAgentto utilize privileged action pathways, offering more advanced debugging and tracking capabilities, which improves the contextually aware decision-making process in complex tasks. Additionally, the row indexing enhancements in analysis modules likeagent_xray.pyandjson_xray.pyprovide better traceability and data inspection during experiments.
