Who Analyses the Analyser? Self-Validating LLM Hazard Analysis with Constitutional Meta-STPA

arXiv:2607. 08054v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly trusted to draft the artifacts of safety analysis such as, losses, hazards, Unsafe Control Actions (UCAs), and safety constraints, inside rigorous processes such as Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA).

Trajectories That Segment Themselves: Agent-Declared Boundaries as a Training Unit

arXiv:2608. 02302v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon coding-agent trajectories are poorly matched to the credit units available to train on: a single action has no stable value, an episode label merges productive exploration with abandoned directions, and a fixed window cuts where the logging mechanics fall.

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users revoke constraints as easily as impose them, but revocation does not reliably take effect: models keep enacting withdrawn requirements (occasionally beneath comments asserting their removal), a failure we call \emph{behavioral relapse}, or revocation inertia.
