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. We propose Graph-Regularized Agentic Context Evolution (GRACE), which maintains the persistent instruction component as a typed semantic graph and validates proposed updates within the local typed neighborhoods of modified nodes. Accepted graph updates are reconstructed as incremental edits to the textual instruction checkpoint used at deployment. We evaluate GRACE within a fixed telecom agent harness derived from $\tau^2$-bench under a controlled distribution-shift protocol. Across five independent replications, GRACE improves strict reliability, measured by pass^3, from the Gemini 2.5 Flash zero-shot value of 0.091 to 0.673$\pm$0.136 at the final checkpoint. This exceeds a Gemini 3.1 Pro zero-shot reference of 0.242 on the same held-out set, while the flat-text HCE baseline finishes at 0.191$\pm$0.051. These results identify two requirements for reliable long-horizon context evolution, a structural substrate that makes verification local and a consolidation mechanism that keeps accumulated instruction content usable.

LLM agents increasingly take on long-running tasks whose history grows far beyond a single model context window. Existing approaches compress earlier interactions or extract selected information into fixed memory representations, committing to what to preserve before future needs are known. We present Scroll, a context manager that treats each agent session as an executable Session Environment. The environment is backed by an append-only Event Log and a sandboxed, persistent Python kernel. The kernel maintains a typed namespace across model calls, allowing tool outputs, retrieved history, and derived state to be bound to variables rather than serialized into the prompt at each call. Model-written code searches, materializes, and transforms session state through exec; only explicitly printed projections enter the model's working view for the next call. Context management thus becomes a programming task that inherits the improving coding abilities of LLMs, while the Event Log preserves lossless historical ground truth. As the working view approaches its budget, stale spans are evicted but remain recoverable: an eviction index keeps compact landmarks tied to exact Event Log addresses, so that the agent navigates directly to evicted regions instead of searching the full log. With Qwen3.8-Max as the backbone, Scroll achieves 94.8% on LongMemEval_S; 73.1% on BEAM_10M, surpassing the best published memory system by 5.1 points; and 86.7% on LOCA_256K, exceeding the best published long-horizon agent by 37.4 points.
Agentic LLM systems that generate code through multi-turn tool use face a fundamental context problem: each session starts from zero, discarding the configuration choices, domain constraints, data schemas, and tool-use patterns that made previous sessions productive. Naively persisting entire conversation histories is token-inefficient and counterproductive: irrelevant context degrades generation quality. We introduce shared selective persistent memory, an architecture that identifies and retains four categories of reusable context (task specifications, data schemas, tool configurations, and output constraints) while discarding session-specific reasoning traces. Crucially, this memory is shared: workspaces encapsulating selective memory can be transferred across users with role-based access control, enabling collaborative reuse without redundant specification. We implement it in a deployed collaborative workspace platform where LLM agents produce, edit, and maintain git-versioned artifacts (dashboards, reports, and data-driven documents) from heterogeneous sources (CSV, SQL, REST APIs, and MCP servers). A complementary zero-token data refresh mechanism decouples generated programs from runtime data, enabling artifact reuse without re-invocation. Across three enterprise scenarios, shared selective persistent memory achieves 96% task completion (vs. 79% without memory and 71% with full history). Zero-token refresh eliminates LLM re-invocation for recurring updates (14x task-time reduction), while summary-driven generation cuts per-invocation token cost by 97x versus raw data injection. A replication on four public datasets confirms generalizability, with zero-token refresh succeeding in 12/12 trials. Notably, naive full-history persistence actively degrades completion by biasing the agent with stale traces, while selective memory outperforms both extremes.
Multi-agent systems built on large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for complex tasks requiring autonomous planning, tool use, and inter-agent coordination. However, the non-deterministic nature of LLM outputs and the emergent behavior arising from agent interactions render traditional test oracles ineffective, creating a critical gap in quality assurance for agentic AI. This work introduces MORPHAGENT, a framework designed to address the oracle problem in multi-agent LLM systems through trace-based behavioral analysis. Our contributions are threefold: (1) goal-preservation relations that verify consistent goal achievement under input perturbations, (2) coordination-consistency relations that validate inter-agent delegation and communication patterns under agent substitution and reordering, and (3) tool-use integrity relations that ensure semantic equivalence of tool invocation sequences under prompt paraphrasing. MorphAgent instruments agent execution to capture structured traces comprising planning steps, tool calls, message exchanges, and final outputs, then systematically applies metamorphic transformations and checks behavioral invariants without requiring ground-truth oracles. We evaluate the framework on four multi-agent benchmarks spanning code generation, research synthesis, customer service, and data analysis tasks, encompassing 2,840 source-followup execution pairs across three LLM backends. Results show that MORPHAGENT detects 82.0% of seeded behavioral faults, including 90.3% of coordination failures and 81.7% of goal-deviation faults, while maintaining a false positive rate of 6.1%. The framework uncovers 14 previously unreported behavioral anomalies in established multi-agent frameworks, demonstrating its practical utility for assuring agentic AI reliability. These results suggest that trace-based metamorphic testing can serve as a practical foundation for reliable validation of emerging agentic AI systems.
