AstronOS (arXiv 2608.16381) gives each work item a persistent identity and versioned state, scoping every step's input to a specific state version plus new material, advancing only after validation. 150 controlled executions, five handoff strategies, three-stage batch: reread originals 0/15, full history replay 2/15, deterministic text summary 0/15, deterministic JSON 0/15, runtime handoff 14/15. Neither replaying the transcript nor summarizing it works. The state has to be a validated versioned artifact the runtime owns. Pair this with the coherence-debt paper and you get a coherent design brief for long-horizon pipelines.
