LEAD: Breaking the No-Recovery Bottleneck in Long-Horizon Reasoning
Long-horizon execution in Large Language Models (LLMs) remains unstable even when high-level strategies are provided. Evaluating on controlled algorithmic puzzles, we demonstrate that while decomposition is essential for stability, extreme decomposition creates a “no-recovery bottleneck”. We show that this bottleneck becomes critical due to highly non-uniform error distribution, where consistent errors on a few “hard” …
