Results suggest that causal-aware reasoning and stability-oriented design can improve the effectiveness of LLM-based APR, a causality-guided multi-agent repair framework that improves the repair stage of existing LLM-based localization pipelines.
Large language models (LLMs) have improved automated program repair (APR), but two limitations remain. First, raw execution traces are often too large and repetitive to serve as effective model context. Second, repeated patch sampling may produce different implementations without yielding distinct root-cause hypotheses...
Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly used for multi-step, stateful tool-use tasks, yet production reliability remains limited. Unlike static software repair, agent repair must recover dynamic trajectories whose early decisions can propagate into later errors and external state changes. Existing automatic...

This paper identifies patch verbosity as a major yet overlooked concern in LLM-based APR and proposes RECAP, a lightweight, plug-and-play adapter that attaches to existing repair frameworks after generation that achieves a substantially better size-correctness tradeoff.

CausalRepair is proposed, a conversation-driven APR framework based on minimal causal context, i.e., the essential dependencies required to explain a failure, outperforming state-of-the-art approaches such as ReinFix and TSAPR, while reducing the average repair cost to $0.029 per bug.

AssertMate is proposed, a novel agent-based assertion generation framework that enhances the quality and reliability of LLM-generated assertions through three key components: actual value construction that identifies assertion targets via static analysis and type-aware heuristics, and multi-perspective expected value p...

This work introduces REFINE (Refactoring with Evidence-aware Flow for Integrated ageNtic Execution), a tool-agnostic, evidence-aware multi-agent approach for generating Java file-level refactoring candidates that achieves a higher median code-smell reduction with smaller edits and fewer public-method removals.
