The paper introduces NAQD‑Env, a synthetic benchmark designed to test language agents’ ability to selectively withdraw and resume actions when new evidence, permissions, or stop instructions arise. It evaluates models against a deterministic reference policy across eleven dependency families, measuring policy agreement, task value, withdrawal, resumption, and event reporting. Experiments on 350 scenarios show low withdrawal recall, no valid resumption, and limited policy alignment, highlighting the need to treat selective withdrawal as a distinct reliability component.

The paper introduces a compute‑aware three‑action controller for evaluator‑guided reasoning, deciding whether to trust the current answer, fallback, or expand inference. It scores terminal actions by predicted success and uses a rollout‑based surrogate for expansion, explicitly pricing compute cost. Experiments on width expansion and revision tasks show the controller improves utility over fixed policies while reducing online compute by about 30% and 16%, respectively, and demonstrates that evaluator‑guided reasoning is best viewed as resource allocation under uncertainty.

The paper introduces a runtime assurance layer for language‑model agents operating in operational workflows, addressing the evaluation–execution gap where approvals may become invalid after changes in facts, evidence, policy, or authority. The proposed state‑bound configuration separates probabilistic measurement from deterministic adjudication, binds execution allowances to the basis of an approval, invalidates them upon logged changes, and rechecks admissibility at dispatch. In a scripted 42‑case replay, the approach identified 15 later‑invalidated approvals that a non‑re‑evaluating comparator missed, holding 14 affected actions before dispatch and compensating one landed effect.
