Agentic systems persist model-visible memory while mutating workspaces, while a runtime, registry, or approval service may hold authority state outside both. Identical final files can then require opposite safe actions. We call this the cross-substrate authority gap: decision- relevant authorization information resides outside the planner-visible workspace or memory state. Across two controlled mini-benchmark families, three experiments compare planner-observation augmentation with an execution-time authority check using real Git lineage, durably recorded agent execution attempts, deterministic oracles, and two model routes. Experiment 1 is a 128-cell controlled evidence ablation: authority-blind candidate evidence obtains 0/32 final semantic success, while raw receipts and a typed relation both obtain 32/32. The missing authority fact accounts for the gain; typed packaging provides no observed planning-accuracy gain over equal raw information. Experiment 2 uses 96 planning calls: workspace-visible evidence yields 12/16 unsafe publication decisions, and planning with the typed relation remains unreliable (15/32 first actions correct; 11/32 invalid or absent). Experiment 3 replays the same 32 fixed model-generated first-action intents with zero additional model calls; a deterministic execution guard prevents all six unsafe intents from becoming effects and permits all 12 valid authorized publish intents. These results position authority enforcement at the mutation boundary as the operational endpoint of memory governance.

LLM agents increasingly execute long-horizon tasks through tool use and environment interaction, shifting evaluation from final-response scoring to verification of complete executions. For skill-augmented agents, verification additionally requires the procedural knowledge encoded in task-time skills, because this knowledge indicates what evidence to inspect and which failures are task-critical. However, existing judge benchmarks often expose final responses or static trajectories, and rarely combine task-time skills with directly inspectable artifacts and environments. We therefore introduce SkillTV-Bench, a 681-case benchmark of real agent trajectories from 50 tasks across eleven domains, designed to evaluate skill-aware trajectory verification for both LLM-as-a-Judge and Agent-as-a-Judge methods. Additionally, we propose SkillTV-Evolve, which externalizes verification knowledge as a reusable JudgeSkill that guides an agent judge to plan targeted inspections and issue evidence-grounded verdicts. On a disjoint development pool, an automated evolution loop further refines the JudgeSkill using misjudged cases. On SkillTV-Bench, the refined skill increases the same agent judge's accuracy by 14.8 percentage points. In offline rollout-pool selection, it increases selected-trajectory success from 22.9% with one rollout to 45.5% with ten rollouts.

This work introduces Agent-UCT, a tree search algorithm that extends UCT with a reuse-aware regularization term derived from a bipartite prefix reuse graph, and RAGSpace, a unified framework for cost-aware, reproducible, and compositionally efficient agentic workflow optimization.
