We introduce the process harness, a new mechanism for uplifting legacy workflows into Agentic Business Process Management (Agentic BPM) without replacing the underlying workflow engine. A process harness places a policy-governed agentic layer around a deterministic workflow engine, intercepting designated control points to contribute reasoning, adaptation, and oversight while the engine retains structural authority over the process.

arXiv:2608. 15591v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents deployed in production environments face a fundamental tension: the agent's behavior is frozen at deployment time, while the business rules and edge cases it must handle continue to evolve.

arXiv:2606. 01199v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language agents are increasingly used for social simulation, yet it remains unclear whether they can sustain coherent behavior in structured organizations, where goals must propagate through hierarchy, tasks depend on prior execution, and artifacts accumulate over long horizons.

arXiv:2607. 21503v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Production AI agents' failures are less often due to an inability to reason well and more often because they cannot manage what is in their reasoning context: conversation histories, large prompts, large tool definitions, and ballooning tool outputs.

arXiv:2607. 08960v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Warehouse operations are governed by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that encode complex, multi-system decision logic, which must be executed reliably under strict time constraints, yet LLM agents lack mechanisms to enforce procedural compliance and degrade under the context overload full SOP specifications introduce.
