The Verification Horizon: Why Coding Agents Need Evolving Rewards

As AI coding agents improve, generating code becomes easier than verifying it. Because no static reward function can perfectly capture human intent, verification must co-evolve with model capabilities to prevent reward hacking.

Solving the 'Amnesia' Problem in AI Coding Agents

Current AI coding agents are limited by 'repo-bound' vision and lack of episodic memory. Polygraph solves this by creating a meta-harness that provides agents with a unified dependency graph and shared session state across repositories.

Recursive Coding Agents: Managing AI Geniuses

Recursive Language Models (RLMs) improve agent reliability by treating context as an object of computation, allowing agents to decompose complex tasks into recursive sub-agent calls that verify and execute work symbolically.

Avoiding Cognitive Surrender in AI-Assisted Development

AI coding agents excel at speed, but they risk creating 'cognitive surrender' where developers lose the ability to maintain their own systems. To build reliable software, humans must remain the final authority, treating agents as tools that get you 70-80% of the way there, not as replacements for engineering judgment.
