Towards Agentic Cloud Engineering: Graph and Loop Engineering with a Zero-Trust Agent Harness

The paper introduces Agentic Cloud Workflow Engineering, a framework that converts natural‑language agentic cloud‑engineering tasks into validated code repositories and verified cloud deployments. It separates graph engineering for long‑horizon workflow progression, loop engineering for bounded diagnosis and recovery, and agent harness engineering for zero‑trust execution. Experiments on Google Cloud show that executions either produce a verified deployment or an auditable terminal failure within bounded recovery limits.

Forward-Deployed Full-Stack Engineering for Autonomous Cloud MLOps

The paper introduces a multi‑agent framework that transforms natural‑language MLOps tasks into verified repositories and operational cloud deployments. It uses a stateful Graph Orchestrator to coordinate agents for repository generation, review, execution, verification, release, and monitoring, ensuring lifecycle transitions only occur when supported by verifiable evidence. The framework, implemented on Google Cloud Platform, demonstrates prevention of unsupported transitions and drives each run toward a verified deployment or an auditable failure.

Graph, Loop, and Harness Engineering for Zero-Trust Agentic Data Engineering and Analytical Processing

The paper introduces two zero‑trust frameworks for cloud data engineering and analytical processing. The first, Zero‑Trust Agentic Data Engineering, automatically generates, deploys, and verifies complete data‑engineering solutions from natural‑language tasks, requiring evidence from repositories, deployments, runtimes, and policies. The second, Zero‑Trust Agentic OLAP, combines governed data preparation with verified online analytical processing, allowing production promotion only after rigorous validation and evidence‑bound approval, and ensuring analytical outputs are released only after same‑snapshot execution, exact result equivalence, deterministic grounding, and reflection. Both frameworks rely on three core abstractions—graph engineering for evidence‑gated workflow structure, loop engineering for bounded recovery, and agent‑harness engineering for zero‑trust execution—and are evaluated under nominal execution, controlled failures, bounded recovery, and policy‑constrained conditions to measure verified completion, recovery, authorization enforcement, production promotion, and verified OLAP execution.

Specifying AI-SDLC Processes: A Protocol Language for Human-Agent Boundaries

arXiv:2606. 20615v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI agents now act as first-class members of the software development lifecycle, but the instruments teams use to direct them enforce nothing: process encoded in prompts is flexible but unenforceable, while workflow formalisms are enforceable but do not model autonomous agents.

Harness-Bench: Evaluating Agent Harnesses across Models and Realistic Workflows

Harness-Bench is a diagnostic benchmark that evaluates how different harness configurations affect LLM agent performance in realistic workflows. It tests 106 sandboxed offline tasks across multiple model backends, recording artifacts, execution traces, and usage statistics to analyze completion, process quality, efficiency, and failure behavior. The study finds significant variation in outcomes across model-harness pairings, indicating that agent capability should be reported at the configuration level rather than solely by the base model.

AegisFlow: A Multi-Agent Agentic AI Framework for Autonomous Remediation and Self-Healing in Fragile Data Ecosystems

AegisFlow is a multi‑agent AI framework that automates the detection and remediation of failures in data pipelines, using a Watchdog agent for telemetry and a Repair agent that generates, tests, and deploys code patches via large language models. It employs a non‑intrusive Parallel Shadow Patching approach based on the MAPE‑K loop to validate patches in digital twin environments. Experiments across five failure scenarios show a 98.1% reduction in mean time to repair—from 170 minutes to 3.2 minutes—and a 92% patch success rate, freeing up 98% of data engineering on‑call time for innovation.
