StateTape: Action-Conditioned Evidence Lifecycle Modeling for Long-Horizon Coding Agents

StateTape introduces a new framework for long‑horizon coding agents that rewrites the agent’s context as the code repository changes, rather than letting the context grow with every observation. It models the repository as a symbol‑level code graph, using a tape to mark symbols altered by each write and a manager model to resolve stale records. The authors provide theoretical analysis, a new benchmark called TraceBench, and empirical results showing higher resolve rates across six agents and three edit‑heavy benchmarks with minimal computational overhead.
