arXiv 2609.25396 runs tests on each patch alone and then merged, counting only failures the combination introduces. One message describing the completed concurrent change recovered 82% of them. Among 834 runs on 417 mined real Django PR pairs, only one showed interference, and the authors say plainly the constructed rate isn't a real-world frequency. Broadcast interface changes between workers anyway; the fix is one message.

arXiv 2607.25886 isolates data-centric research capability by fixing the entire post-training stack so only the agent's data strategy varies. Four frontier agents across six benchmarks. Among searches that continued past the best observed score, 78.26% ended on a lower-scoring...
Firecrawl's Developer Index launched August 20 as a search API over 70M+ artifacts including READMEs, PRs, issues, OpenAPI specs, skills and external documentation, most refreshed daily. On 1,179 real developer queries it reports 0.63 recall@10, against 0.58 for Firecrawl's ow...
Li, Huo, and Johnson show that one-way message flow between agents produces neither mimicry nor solo behavior but an entirely novel dynamical state, at identical temperature settings. It's conceptual rather than quantitative, but the implication for orchestrator-worker fan-out...
arXiv:2606.07889 names a failure mode where a coding agent holds information that should change its behavior, states that information out loud, and then acts against it anyway. The authors propose detecting this in execution trajectories as a pre-failure signal. For anyone run...
Mehan and Saluja audited 200 open-source Python microservice projects. Explicit retry logic is detected in 11.5%, though their own false-negative audit puts true prevalence near 41%. Among detected projects 60.9% have at least one configuration with no backoff, and exactly one...
CAFE (arXiv 2608.24794) makes corrective feedback an in-trajectory intervention the agent chooses to request, using one shared-parameter model alternating between search-agent and critic roles. Online RL shapes request returns from a prompt-level call-versus-skip success gap;...
