Dude, Where's My State? Execution Information Requirements for Stateful Agents

Excerpt

arXiv:2609.32687v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Long-running agents must preserve information that later steps depend on. We introduce the Execution Information Requirement (EIR), a lower bound on the information that must remain accessible for correct completion under specified task and access conditions. We develop LACUNA, a framework that generates tasks with known dependencies and varies information demand, retention, and recovery separately from the difficulty of individual operations.
