Successful mutation strategies in evolutionary code search may contain reusable knowledge that is useful beyond a single run, and in some cases may transfer across related tasks and domains. However, existing LLM-driven evolutionary frameworks largely discard such knowledge, repeatedly rediscovering similar ideas and limiting opportunities for cross-run and cross-task learning.

Program evolution can measure whether a mutation helped, but it rarely controls how far the mutation moves in behavior space. Syntactic edit size is an unreliable proxy: a small code change can alter nearly every action, while a larger rewrite can preserve the same execution trace.
