PAG生成检索的规划信号在查询变化下易崩溃，影响检索效果。

Generative retrieval (GR) ranks documents by autoregressively generating document identifiers. Because many GR methods rely on trie-constrained beam search, they are vulnerable to early pruning of relevant prefixes under finite-beam decoding. Planning Ahead in Generative Retrieval (PAG) mitigates this failure mode by using simultaneous decoding to compute a document-level look-ahead prior that guides subsequent sequential decoding. We reproduce PAG at inference time and stress-test its decoding behavior. Using the authors' released checkpoint and identifier/trie artifacts under the reported decoding setup, we reproduce the main effectiveness results on MS MARCO Dev and TREC-DL 2019/2020, and corroborate the reported beam-size-latency trade-off in our hardware setting. Beyond reproduction, we introduce plan drift diagnostics that quantify how intent-preserving query variations alter the planner's top-n candidate set and highest-weight planner tokens, and how these changes affect guided decoding. We find that PAG's planning signal is brittle under lexical surface-form variation: intent-preserving typos can trigger plan collapse, where the planned candidate pool shifts enough that the look-ahead bonus provides little useful guidance, effectively reverting decoding toward weaker unguided search. We further evaluate fixed-index cross-lingual robustness using non-English mMARCO queries against an English index, and assess query-side mitigation strategies that require no re-indexing; query translation provides the strongest recovery in our setting. Overall, our results confirm PAG's reported effectiveness and the benefit of planning-guided decoding under the released inference setup, while showing that these gains depend on the stability of the planning signal under realistic query variation and query-document mismatch.
