arXiv:2605. 11030v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Closed-loop tool-using agents are increasingly evaluated in executable web, code, and micro-task environments, but benchmark reports often conflate workloads, action-generating drivers, and the evidence admitted for systems-facing claims.

The study investigates whether adding specialist language‑model contexts can enhance software assurance when deterministic tool evidence is already available. Five experiments were conducted using Qwen2.5‑Coder‑7B‑Instruct across Java warning controls, OWASP Benchmark, Defects4J test generation, SV‑COMP assertion verdicts, and misleading evidence packages. Results show that increasing context count does not improve unsafe clearance, that verifier feedback can raise correct verdicts but also incorrect ones, and that models reject most counterexamples while scope checks classify packages accurately, supporting deterministic evidence admission but highlighting limits in verdict aggregation and feedback interpretation.

The paper introduces VerifierBench, a benchmark comprising 222 tasks from six agent benchmarks and 4,993 hidden test cases designed to evaluate the generation of executable verifiers by large language model agents. It presents Verifier4Verifier (V4V), a six-check audit that screens source verifiers and test suites, and reports that across 19 models, normalized balanced accuracy ranges from 10.6 to 62.1, with generated verifiers more reliably rejecting invalid solutions than accepting valid ones. Case studies highlight that many false rejections stem from verifiers that accept no tested solution, revealing unsupported assumptions about solution formats, tool use, and code changes that exclude valid solutions, and underscore the need to test both acceptance of correct solutions and other permissible solutions.

SWE‑Nexus is a fully automated pipeline that builds repository‑level implementation tasks by analyzing test execution. It uses four construction agents to select tests, trace production function bodies, and generate behavioral specifications, retaining scopes only when all expected scoring points pass and masking the traced bodies triggers failures. The benchmark covers 600 tasks from 105 repositories in six languages, and the best configuration resolves 37.8% of tasks in a single attempt, demonstrating the system’s ability to construct tasks from validated behavior beyond individual code changes.
