arXiv:2607. 24882v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern coding agents are usually evaluated by whether they eventually produce a correct patch, but patch generation depends on an earlier context-acquisition stage: finding the repository files needed for the task.
arXiv:2506. 11066v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Code retrieval is essential in modern software development, as it boosts code reuse and accelerates debugging.
arXiv:2601. 19697v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Repository-level code completion remains a challenging task for existing code large language models (code LLMs) due to their limited understanding of repository-specific context and domain knowledge.

ExecRetrieval is a new benchmark for code‑embedding retrieval that contains 939 Python tasks, each with a verified correct implementation and up to four single‑edit buggy distractors generated mechanically. The dataset allows direct testing of a retriever’s ability to functionally discriminate correct code from near‑clone incorrect code, rather than relying on lexical similarity. Experiments on 23 dense embeddings and BM25 show that while the best system can retrieve the correct code within the top 10 results, it often fails to rank the correct implementation first, with rank‑1 errors dominated by paired buggy variants.
The paper explores whether natural‑language documentation aids coding agents in fixing software bugs and introduces a roundtrip benchmark that evaluates code descriptions by regenerating code and testing it. It finds that description completeness, not length, determines fidelity, and presents an optimizer that can produce fully faithful descriptions that generalize to new files. However, experiments across two model families and ten repositories show that such compact documentation does not improve an agent’s ability to resolve real repository issues compared to using the issue alone.

AdaRepair-Mem introduces an adaptive experience retrieval framework for repository-level program repair, addressing three key limitations in existing memory-augmented methods: imbalanced episodic memory, non-monotonic success with increased memory, and phase misalignment of memory types. The framework employs coverage-aware retrieval, quality-aware selection, and stage-aware routing to better match repair contexts with relevant memories. Evaluations on SWE-Bench-Lite and SWE-Bench-Verified show improved performance on under-covered repositories, reduced noisy retrieval, and enhanced patch refinement support.
