The paper introduces probe-driven test-time reinforcement learning (TTRL) for code generation, using probe inputs derived from problem statements to evaluate candidate programs and define a Probe Consensus Reward (PCR). To address PCR’s unreliability and prevent reward hacking, the authors propose Entropy-Regularized Rank-Masked Policy Optimization (ERPO), which applies rank masking and an entropy ceiling to produce conservative policy updates. Experiments on coding benchmarks show that ERPO significantly improves pass@1 and pass@k metrics in both in-domain adaptation and zero-shot transfer scenarios.
