The paper introduces NAQD‑Env, a synthetic benchmark designed to test language agents’ ability to selectively withdraw and resume actions when new evidence, permissions, or stop instructions arise. It evaluates models against a deterministic reference policy across eleven dependency families, measuring policy agreement, task value, withdrawal, resumption, and event reporting. Experiments on 350 scenarios show low withdrawal recall, no valid resumption, and limited policy alignment, highlighting the need to treat selective withdrawal as a distinct reliability component.

The paper introduces a compute‑aware three‑action controller for evaluator‑guided reasoning, deciding whether to trust the current answer, fallback, or expand inference. It scores terminal actions by predicted success and uses a rollout‑based surrogate for expansion, explicitly pricing compute cost. Experiments on width expansion and revision tasks show the controller improves utility over fixed policies while reducing online compute by about 30% and 16%, respectively, and demonstrates that evaluator‑guided reasoning is best viewed as resource allocation under uncertainty.

The paper introduces a runtime assurance layer for language‑model agents operating in operational workflows, addressing the evaluation–execution gap where approvals may become invalid after changes in facts, evidence, policy, or authority. The proposed state‑bound configuration separates probabilistic measurement from deterministic adjudication, binds execution allowances to the basis of an approval, invalidates them upon logged changes, and rechecks admissibility at dispatch. In a scripted 42‑case replay, the approach identified 15 later‑invalidated approvals that a non‑re‑evaluating comparator missed, holding 14 affected actions before dispatch and compensating one landed effect.

The paper introduces Probabilistic Agentic Programming (PAP), a framework that explicitly defines responsibility boundaries for language‑model agents by linking mandate, authority, effects, and evidence. It compares PAP to various programming paradigms and agent systems across seven dimensions, and presents a mediation kernel that enforces checks before tool execution, operation‑bound approval, and resource limits. An exploratory study with seven business cases and multiple models demonstrates that PAP’s native Touba implementation achieves the highest or tied observation counts, supporting its effectiveness in managing agentic behavior.

Interlock is a framework that transforms long‑horizon tasks into typed completion graphs, linking evidence, decisions, and required effects through grounding, coupling, and realization edges. It compiles these graphs into a resettable workspace, a public request, and an evaluation rubric, and uses source‑coverage, public‑input, and agent‑as‑judge reviews to ensure that all mandatory requirements are met. Fine‑tuning Qwen3.6 backbones on Interlock‑generated trajectories improves pass rates on AutomationBench, JobBench, and Harvey LAB, showing that the synthesized experience benefits external task environments.
