BoostAPR is a three-stage framework that improves automated program repair by using execution-grounded reinforcement learning with dual reward models. The approach first fine‑tunes a model on execution‑verified demonstrations, then trains a sequence‑level assessor and a line‑level credit allocator from execution outcomes, and finally applies PPO optimization where the line‑level model redistributes rewards to critical edit regions. Evaluated on SWE‑Gym and four benchmarks, BoostAPR achieves significant gains, including 40.7% on SWE‑bench Verified and 95.0% on QuixBugs, demonstrating strong cross‑language generalization.

LEGO-RL is a framework that connects native coding-agent harnesses with scalable policy‑gradient training without altering the harnesses’ internal flow. It achieves faithful optimization through in‑process LLM proxying, reliable execution via sandbox orchestration, and observable training with automated validation and a Live UI. Experiments show LEGO‑RL improves the Qwen3.5‑35B‑A3B model’s performance on three native harnesses while preserving high rollout‑training probability correlation.
