Repair Before Veto: Repair-Augmented Constraint Learning for Contextual Decisions

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 02326v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hard constraints are usually treated as terminal vetoes: once a candidate violates a requirement, the learned rule rejects it and any repair is handled outside the decision semantics.

ContractRL: Shielded Group-Relative Policy Optimization for Auditable Tool-Call Repair

ContractRL introduces a contract-constrained sequential repair protocol for structured tool calls, modeling verifier-guided JSON repair as a bounded decision process. The policy observes candidate data, verifier feedback, JSON pointers, repair history, and budget, using a contract-derived action mask to filter invalid operations before a deterministic validator applies changes. Compared to Patch‑SFT and full regeneration, ContractRL achieves higher semantic success (0.9362 vs. 0.9076 and 0.9148) while generating fewer tokens (34.4 vs. 44.9 and 137.2), and policy optimization further improves success rates.

Auditability Is Not One Property: Rule Overlap, Behavioural Agreement, and Composition in Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces a protocol for auditing and composing reinforcement‑learning policies using discrete behavioral rules, defining auditability through six testable predicates such as trace integrity and rule coverage. Experiments show that overlapping rule sets do not guarantee behavioral agreement, and that rule‑based fusion often fails to outperform value‑based composition, highlighting limitations in current description layers. The authors provide an evidence‑bounded audit framework and outline future directions for more robust skill composition.
