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.

arXiv:2606. 01667v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time scaling has become a major way to improve large language model reasoning, but its orchestration has remained designer-engineered: a fixed sample budget, a fixed refinement loop, a fixed scoring rule, or a fixed search policy decides how compute is spent, leaving the model in charge of solving but not of orchestration.

The paper introduces the concept of substrate blindness, where AI agents lack execution context in their planning. By providing a 128 MB RAM and 10 s wall‑time contract to large language models, the authors show that agents generate code that uses less memory, runs faster, and incorporates structural changes such as bounded blocking and in‑place buffers. Across three leading models, contract disclosure improved resource usage and correctness, demonstrating that minimal execution contracts can guide agents to produce more efficient programs.
