EvoDRC: A Self-Evolving Agentic Framework for Automated DRC Violation Repair
arXiv:2607. 20019v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Design rule check (DRC) closure remains a major bottleneck in advanced-node physical design.
AgenticECO: An Agentic Framework for ECO on 3D Integrated Circuits
arXiv:2608. 03738v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Moore's law slows, the industry is turning to three-dimensional integration; yet in merged 3D-IC flows, routed designs expose bond-level defects with no 2D analogue, and post-route engineering change orders (ECO) remain manual, expertise-bound work.

AEGIS: Assay-Aware Protocol Validation and Runtime Monitoring for Open-Source Liquid Handling Robots
arXiv:2607. 15620v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Self-driving laboratories increasingly rely on low-cost liquid handlers such as the Opentrons OT-2, which ship without the pressure-based aspiration monitoring of Hamilton or Tecan systems and are typically run open-loop.

Detecting a Route Flip Is Easier Than Knowing Whether to Fix It: Causal Route-Mediated Damage in Quantized Mixture-of-Experts
arXiv:2608. 11212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Top-k Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) routing is discontinuous, so a deployment-motivated numerical disturbance -- simulated 4-bit KV-cache quantization read by a protected BF16 gate -- pushes tokens across decision boundaries and flips which experts fire.

ContraFix: Skill-Enhanced Contrastive Runtime Analysis for Vulnerability Repair
arXiv:2605. 17450v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As software systems grow increasingly complex, automated vulnerability repair (AVR) remains difficult because the materials available to a repair system are usually failure artifacts rather than repair guidance.
