Scoped Verification for Reliable Long-Horizon Agentic Context Evolution under Distribution Shift

Abstract

arXiv:2607.09175v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deployed LLM agents rely on agentic context, the model-external textual control content assembled by an operational harness. In this work, the mutable component of that context is a persistent system-level instruction that is updated from operational experience while the model, tools, and harness remain fixed. Over long evolution horizons, flat-text maintenance makes verification increasingly difficult as accumulated instructions grow and interact.
