Olympiad: thinking like a machine, Bebras puzzles ★★★, sentence 4

Robots and programs do exactly what the steps say, not what you meant, so a step in the wrong order or a fuzzy word like "somewhere nice" is a bug waiting to happen.

Who acts: Robots, steps, you, step, bug · What happens: do, say, mean, be, wait, happen · To what, where: bug · Speech: someone speaks here

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
