  "title": "WebRider: Persona-Conditioned Intent Controllers for Live-Web Assistance",
  "summary": "Delegating a web task involves more than asking a question; it requires transferring a policy: what to verify, how to handle uncertainty, which preferences matter, and when to stop. Yet, current live-web agents are evaluated solely on the final answer, ignoring the policy constraints that define the delegation. A plausible final answer can conceal violations of that policy. Our full live audit reveals this critical gap: a strong controller completes 99.2% of tasks but honors all policy constrain",
