A technique called Siren synthesizes API- and system-automation scripts from partial traces that record only side-effecting calls, combining compiler-style optimizing rewrites with an off‑the‑shelf example-based synthesizer to recover hidden decisions and functions. The pipeline maintains a correct-by-construction candidate throughout, produces programs with up to four control-flow constructs and two synthesized hidden functions, and solves 72% of 54 real-world benchmarks within a 5 minute timeout; an LLM baseline hits 53%.
