Coding agents are increasingly capable of fixing real-world bugs, yet they still struggle with large systems codebases such as the Linux kernel. To understand why, we test how agents reason about execution in these codebases through crash reasoning: predicting from source code whether a given input crashes the system. A correct prediction alone, however, does not establish this ability, since it may come from merely spotting suspicious code. In this paper, we propose source interventions: we pair source trees that differ by a single commit, so that the same input crashes only one of them, and
