What the article says around this equation

Start with the conventional mixed-effects baseline specified before task results are opened: logit⁡Pr⁡(Yimtr=1)=β0+αm+β1qtr+β2dt+β3log⁡(1+ht)+urepo(t)+ut\operatorname{logit}\Pr(Y_{imtr}=1)= \beta_0+\alpha_m+\beta_1 q_{tr}+\beta_2 d_t+ \beta_3\log(1+h_t)+u_{\mathrm{repo}(t)}+u_t. Here qtrq_{tr} is supplied input-context length in tokens, not tokens consumed after the agent has begun acting; using post-attempt expenditure would contaminate the predictor with behavior. The term dtd_t is a predeclared ordinary benchmark-difficulty score based only on endpoint-side, redaction-invariant features such as repository size band, static dependency reach, test-suite scope, and selected task-family label. It is deliberately conventional and admittedly imperfect. The terms urepo(t)u_{\mathrm{repo}(t)} and utu_t are repository and task random effects, while αm\alpha_m represents model…

The baseline includes model identity, token length, ordinary difficulty, and task horizon exactly so that the new variable cannot win by repeating any one of them.
