MutMem-V2: Cryptographically Authorized Mutation in Persistent Agent Memory Portable Verification and Reproducible Evidence

MutMem‑V2 builds on the original MutMem‑V1 by providing a complete portable verification contract and a clean‑install reproduction path for persistent agent memory. It defines exact canonical bytes, domain‑separated commitments, mandatory recall‑evidence, and other security primitives, and releases a protocol with 18 object schemas, 39 recall vectors, 15 mutation vectors, and 37 closed recall failure reasons. Independent Node and Python implementations agree on all 72 structural and cryptographic terminals, and a production‑conformance corpus confirms 42/42 cases across 28 required classes, demonstrating reproducible evidence and portable integrity under stated assumptions.

A Survey on Long-Term Memory Security in LLM Agents: Attacks, Defenses, and Governance Across the Memory Lifecycle

arXiv:2604. 16548v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The emergence of writable, cross-session persistent memory in LLM agents introduces a qualitatively different threat landscape from conventional input-centric security concerns, characterized by three properties: persistence, statefulness, and propagation.

When AI Agents Commit: Cognitive Serializability Across Data, Evidence, Policy, and Authority

The paper introduces the concept of Cognitive Serializability for autonomous AI agents, ensuring that mutations derived from dynamic inputs—such as database reads, evidence, policy, beliefs, and delegated authority—are committed in a serial, logically consistent order. It presents a framework called Trusted Cognitive Transaction (TCT) that combines immutable executable definitions, sealed envelopes, guard-first commits, and receipt-driven reconciliation to enforce serializability and prevent anomalies. Experimental results show that the prototype implementation incurs minimal overhead while eliminating injected anomalies.

Control-Plane Placement Shapes Forgetting: An Architectural Study of Agent Memory Across Thirteen System Configurations

arXiv:2606. 15903v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Where an LLM sits in an agent memory pipeline -- between the recall plane that retrieves stored facts (extensively benchmarked) and the control plane that mutates them via supersede, release, purge (largely untested) -- shapes which forgetting failure modes the system recovers.
