The Self-Correction Illusion: Role Relabeling Gates Explicit Error Flagging in Large Language Models
arXiv:2606.05976v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent works show that LLM agents struggle to correct errors in their own reasoning traces, despite their ability to correct errors from external sources. We ask whether this reflects a capability deficit or an artifact of the role labeling. To test this, we design a
