I think agents are pretty capable of reading a log when given the explicit task of extracting the latest version of what the user wants. In general, they work well for direct tasks like this. They don't forget and do something else the way they do when they are deep into development work or debugging.

Besides intent, I also mine signs of "user friction," which I use as input for the agent to come up with new tests. What I complain about is one of the signals driving testing.
