Looping Is Not Reliability: State-Bound Evidence and Typed Revision Contracts for Agentic Code Repair

- What happened
- Researchers show that simply looping code repairs through test-revise cycles doesn't guarantee reliability, proposing typed contracts binding verification evidence to exact code states.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building AI coding agents need this when deploying systems that auto-fix bugs, since repeated attempts can degrade correctness without proper state tracking.
- Watch out
- The reference implementation is specified as an executable specification, not proof of improved repair performance or evidence that verifiers work better in practice.
