arXiv:2605. 17965v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Bug localization remains a key bottleneck for large language model (LLM)-based software maintenance, where accurately identifying faulty code is essential for debugging, root cause analysis, triage, and automated program repair (APR).

arXiv:2605. 03117v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automated program repair at repository scale requires an agent to locate a fault among thousands of files and synthesize a correct patch.

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.

Software engineering tools increasingly rely on LLM based agents to localize files to change to resolve a software issue. Most AI agents explore repositories linearly, that is, visiting one directory or file per step.
arXiv:2607. 01767v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As agent planning moves from short tool chains toward persistent workflows with thousands or tens of thousands of steps, failures will occur inside large planning graphs rather than in isolated predictions.
