arXiv:2607. 08716v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In long-horizon tasks, decision-relevant state is often scattered across an expanding trajectory, while the action agent must surface it and act.

arXiv:2606. 16285v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon agents rely on memory mechanisms to compress interaction history, but optimizing memory writing faces a distinct credit assignment challenge: a memory update may be rewarded or penalized due to downstream tool failures, noisy observations, or reasoning errors rather than its own contribution.

In long-horizon tasks, decision-relevant state is often scattered across an expanding trajectory, while the action agent must surface it and act. As trajectories grow, task requirements, environment facts, prior attempts, diagnoses, and open subgoals can be buried in the context window or pushed beyond it, failing to influence decisions when needed.
