Local Edits, Global Ripples: Replay-Informed Policy Adaptation for Workflow Synthesis

Excerpt

arXiv:2609.12127v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prompt-policy editing offers a practical way to improve agents that synthesize executable workflows without updating the underlying model. However, persistent prompt editing has two coupled properties. First, edit locality does not imply effect locality: an edit confined to one policy segment can ripple through downstream execution, altering behavior beyond the edited segment. Second, edit effects are composition-sensitive: edits that work in isola
