ClinTraceBench: Source-Verifiable Longitudinal Clinical Reasoning over EHR-Derived Dialogues
Clinical LLM assistants must reason over multi-visit patient trajectories, yet whether the compact history representations used to scale them---retrieval, structured timelines, LLM summaries, agentic memory---preserve the longitudinal signal clinical reasoning needs has not been measured. We introduce ClinTraceBench: 385 MIMIC-IV-derived verified dialogues with event-ID provenance, a nine-task taxonomy (T1--T9), and L0--L4 deterministic + L5 human-audit validation (98.92\% agreement). We evaluate eight history representation strategies---a no-context floor, \textit{last-visit-only}, \textit{fu
