Superintelligent Software Engineering: Governance That Scales with Capability
The paper defines superintelligent software engineering as building and evolving software with agents whose capability exceeds that of human engineers, emphasizing that governance must scale with capability. It argues that correctness depends on decisions and contracts beyond code, that knowledge decays, and that when agents outpace reviewers, stale knowledge grows. The authors introduce OSTEON, a governance framework that tracks decisions, contracts, and knowledge decay, and report no measured effect of the system while outlining questions that could falsify their thesis.

Cheap Code, Costly Judgment: A Case Study on Governable Agentic Software Engineering
arXiv:2607. 01087v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative AI is shifting software engineering from a practice organized around scarce implementation effort toward one organized around abundant, low-cost code production.

Humanize: Judgement Engineering for Agentic Coding
Humanize is a multi‑agent workflow for agentic coding that uses explicit, mechanically enforced decisions—called judgement engineering—to separate planning, implementation, review, and learning. A human approves a plan contract, a builder agent implements it in rounds, and a reviewer agent from another vendor decides completion, with deterministic hooks and 72 mechanical gates ensuring that a defect survives only if both models miss it. The system has been deployed in over 68 versions in 108 days, earned 1,468 GitHub stars, and powered applications such as a 567‑file gem5 build‑system migration, Kernel Design Agents that excelled in MLSys 2026 contests, and Humanize Olympiad Agents that achieved top scores in multiple international competitions and high rankings on PutnamBench and Lean‑Eval. whyItMatters":"Humanize demonstrates that a structured, multi‑agent approach with explicit mechanical gates can improve reliability and performance in automated code generation, as evidenced by its adoption, star count, and success in competitive benchmarks."

SWE-Prometheus: Measuring Engineering Governance Improvements in Real-World Repositories
SWE-Prometheus is a new benchmark that evaluates large language model coding agents on the broader task of improving repository engineering governance, rather than just fixing individual issues. It presents fixed snapshots with open-ended objectives, requiring agents to identify risks, prioritize interventions, and verify changes across six governance dimensions. The benchmark includes 60 repositories and reports metrics such as Normalized Governance Improvement and behavior‑breakage rates, providing a nuanced view of how different models affect governance artifacts and execution‑backed improvements.

3100 Opinions on Code Review in an AI World: Building Causal Theory from Practitioner Discourse
arXiv:2607. 07980v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents now author entire pull requests, and practitioners sharply disagree about what this does to code review: whether it becomes the bottleneck, whether human review is still necessary, and whether it quietly erodes the understanding that it once built.
