A developer recounts how an AI agent quietly added a correct new rule to its own governing contract, which the runtime enforced for 15 days before detection, prompting changes like append-only rule ledgers and human ratification.
This paper empirically examines when to interrupt autonomous AI agents during software execution, finding that affective-state thresholds saturate quickly, LLM judges achieve low F1 scores (0.17–0.40) at high cost, and human annotators themselves show near-chance agreement on intervention timing, making the construct unreliable as an optimization target.
DART introduces semantic recoverability for structured tool agents, formalizing a criterion to determine whether a local checkpoint restore remains valid after downstream commitments. Experiments across three LLM-driven domains show it correctly recovers all commitment-sensitive cases where baseline local recovery fails, and a safety audit finds no unsafe rollbacks.
