 **Note:** When using `task_mode=goal` with `include_goal=first`, the first step will have `"_example_step": true` and `"completed": false`. This step is excluded from score calculation.
 
+Each alternative now includes the agent's prediction with a field name indicating whether it matched (`matched_prediction`) or didn't match (`unmatched_prediction`). This allows you to compare what the agent predicted against all alternatives, not just the matched one.
