Abstract

Precisely reproducing a target span verbatim within a long context is a fundamental capability test for LLMs: even when the target string is present in context, models often still drift within the span or fail to stop correctly, revealing limitations in source grounding and boundary control. This capability has broad practical relevance. For instance, code generation often requires embedding sensi
