Reclaim Evaluation: A Lossy Memory Is Worse Than an Empty One
arXiv:2606. 25449v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A language model's memory can be worse than having no memory at all.
Governed Persistent Memory: Source-Bound State Semantics and Fail-Closed Release for Long-Horizon Agents
arXiv:2608. 12476v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term agent memory is usually treated as select--store--retrieve, but retrieval does not decide whether contradictory, superseded, retracted, deleted, or stale records may support an outgoing claim.

Reclaim Evaluation: A Lossy Memory Is Worse Than an Empty One
A language model's memory can be worse than having no memory at all. Give a model a memory that kept a wrong conclusion but dropped the work behind it, and it emits that stale value as a confident answer; give the same model an empty memory and it abstains.

TEPA: Revoking Stale Memories for Conflict-Robust Language Agents
arXiv:2608. 07429v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory enables language agents to reuse past facts, preferences, and task experience.

TOKI: A Bitemporal Operator Algebra for Contradiction Resolution in LLM-Agent Persistent Memory
arXiv:2606. 06240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Persistent memory for an LLM agent is a write-heavy substrate: every belief update is a versioned write, and a new claim may contradict a stored one.

Runtime Observability for Heterogeneous Attention Memory
arXiv:2608. 05863v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern models no longer keep a plain KV cache: latent caches, learned sparse selectors and recurrent states each carry the model's memory in a different form, and each fails differently under compression.

A Frozen 12B Beats Frontier Models on Verified Work: 100% Accuracy, 0 Tokens, Bit-Exact, Forever
arXiv:2607. 23806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Improving a language model today means retraining it: enormous compute, a new opaque model each cycle, non-deterministic output.

StateFuse: Deterministic Conflict-Preserving Memory for Multi-Agent Systems
arXiv:2607. 05844v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent systems accumulate conflicting observations across branches, retries, and replicas, yet many practical memory layers still collapse disagreement behind overwrite rules that are difficult to inspect or correct.

From Faulty Memories to Corrected Actions: Dependency-Guided Rollback Repair for Memory-Augmented Agents
arXiv:2608. 10502v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persistent memory lets language-model agents reuse information across sessions, but it also makes errors durable: a poisoned, stale, or misattributed record can alter reasoning, tool use, answers, and subsequent memory writes.

Dead text or binding clause? Measuring and restoring constraint influence in black-box LLM dialogues
arXiv:2608. 12599v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-turn dialogues let users revoke constraints as easily as impose them, but revocation does not reliably take effect: models keep enacting withdrawn requirements (occasionally beneath comments asserting their removal), a failure we call \emph{behavioral relapse}, or revocation inertia.

MELD: A Protocol for Merging Knowledge Across Distributed Agentic Memories
arXiv:2608. 16357v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous agents share a transport and can call each other's tools, but they cannot share what they know: no protocol lets two agents' memories reconcile a fact phrased two ways, link related facts held apart, or reconcile contradictory knowledge without silently discarding either claim.

EA-Graph: Artifact-Anchored Verification Memory for Coding Agents under Upstream Drift
arXiv:2608. 04278v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents increasingly work across sessions, but prose notes can preserve a conclusion without the program state that supported it.

Don't Ask the LLM to Track Freshness: A Deterministic Recipe for Memory Conflict Resolution
arXiv:2606. 01435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based memory systems increasingly maintain facts that evolve over time, where a recurring failure is conflict resolution: when a fact has multiple contradictory values, which should the agent return?
