arXiv:2606. 14470v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) reasoning is ephemeral: chains of thought vanish with the context window, pruned search branches leave no record, and memory buffers cannot be diffed, merged, or audited.

arXiv:2607. 14390v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents now produce a growing share of a team's code, while the reasoning behind each change -- the alternatives weighed, the constraints discovered, the approaches rejected -- is trapped in assistant transcripts that vanish with the session.
arXiv:2606. 09900v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory is the missing layer for LLM agents: across sessions they forget, and the common workaround -- replaying the whole history into the prompt -- is expensive, slow, and, as distractors accumulate, less accurate.
arXiv:2608. 04278v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents increasingly work across sessions, but prose notes can preserve a conclusion without the program state that supported it.
arXiv:2606. 01435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based memory systems increasingly maintain facts that evolve over time, where a recurring failure is conflict resolution: when a fact has multiple contradictory values, which should the agent return?
arXiv:2606. 25449v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A language model's memory can be worse than having no memory at all.
arXiv:2606. 05646v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have enabled powerful software engineering (SE) agents capable of navigating complex codebases and resolving real-world issues.
