Turning Interaction History into Execution State: A Runtime Layer for Long-Horizon Coding Agents
Zehao Wang, Yisen Xu, Chenglin Li +5
Long-horizon coding agents accumulate hundreds of actions and observations in their trajectories, yet nothing in this record indicates which observations still describe the reposit…
Don't Trust the Label: License Laundering in AI Supply Chains
James Jewitt, Hao Li, Gopi Krishnan Rajbahadur +2
AI artifacts move through a multi-platform supply chain, spanning datasets and models on Hugging Face and applications on GitHub. While each artifact carries a license whose obliga…
Don't Blame the Large Language Model: How Agent Harness Evolution Shapes Coding Agent Quality
Oussama Ben Sghaier, Hao Li, Bram Adams +1
Coding agents, autonomous systems that use large language models (LLMs) to resolve software engineering tasks, rely on agent harness: a middleware layer in between a developer and…
Agentic Software Engineering: Foundational Pillars and a Research Roadmap
Ahmed E. Hassan, Hao Li, Dayi Lin +4
Agentic Software Engineering (SE 3.0) represents a new era where intelligent agents are tasked not with simple code generation, but with achieving complex, goal-oriented SE objecti…
AgenticSZZ: Temporal Knowledge Graph-Guided Agentic Bug-Inducing Commit Identification
Yu Shi, Hao Li, Bram Adams +1
Identifying Bug-Inducing Commits (BICs) is fundamental for understanding software defects and enabling downstream tasks such as defect prediction and automated program repair. Yet…
Model Context Protocol (MCP) at First Glance: Studying the Security and Maintainability of MCP Servers
Mohammed Mehedi Hasan, Hao Li, Emad Fallahzadeh +3
Although Foundation Models (FMs), such as GPT-4, are increasingly used in domains like finance and software engineering, reliance on textual interfaces limits these models' real-wo…
