MemTrace: State-Consistent Memory for Long-Horizon Coding Agents

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.04838v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As coding agents take on long-horizon software evolution tasks spanning multiple files and stages, longer execution trajectories introduce two coupled challenges: (1) accumulated histories strain context budgets, and (2) repository changes can invalidate earlier execution evidence. Existing approaches address these challenges through techniques like larger context windows, compression, retrieval, or repository representations, but often fail to rec
