Trace converts sparse-reward attempts into reusable procedures by tracing progress backward and estimating which state facts later actions depend on. It stores step conditions, actions, expected effects, and entry, completion, and failure checks. Across WebShop, J-TTL, and ScienceWorld, it improves reported averages over strongest baselines by 30.0% in AUC and 40.5% in Final-3; prerequisites remain observational associations, not proven necessities.
