Grounded Normative Rule Generation with Structured Search

Normative rules like institutional charters and workplace policies must be both human-readable and operationally verifiable against actual environment records. However, current language generation and structured-output benchmarks primarily reward surface fluency or schema compliance, leaving operational grounding weakly tested. This creates a critical vulnerability where standard language models generate plausible-sounding policies that fail during enforcement because they rely on unavailable data logs or misaligned scopes. To address this challenge, we formalize the problem as Grounded Normative Rule Synthesis (GNRS) and introduce GNRS-Search, a framework that utilizes Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling to optimize a discrete, five-slot And-Or Graph (AOG). By explicitly decoupling intermediate operational structure from final prose generation, this method isolates executable feasibility from writing style and allows rule failures to be localized prior to surface realization. We evaluate our approach on GNRS-Bench, a benchmark spanning 116 controlled goals across eight scene families, and RealCharter-Bench, which evaluates transfer to 53 real-derived policy tasks with hidden source clauses. GNRS-Search raises average rubric quality from 68.8% to 81.0% and ranks first under a disclosed executable composite metric, while systematic slot interventions confirm that performance gains stem from robust operational logic rather than rhetorical tuning. Ultimately, by transforming automated rule drafting into an inspectable search problem, this work provides a foundational paradigm for deploying verifiable and compliance-ready personal agents within regulated environments.

When Does Value-Aware KV Eviction Help? A Fixed-Contract Diagnostic for Non-Monotone Cache Compression

Long-context LLM inference is bottlenecked by the memory and bandwidth cost of reading large KV caches during decoding. KV compression reduces this cost by keeping only part of the cache, but task accuracy alone does not identify why a selector succeeds or fails. A selector can fail at three steps: it may miss the evidence future decoding needs, give high scores to tokens that do not affect the output, or break related evidence when fitting scores into a small cache. We introduce a fixed-contract diagnostic that holds the selector's setup fixed and changes one decision slot at a time. For value ranking, the probe combines a block's attention mass with the estimated output change from removing it. On LongBench across three models and two budgets, the probe is positive on 72.6% of positive-margin cells and 32.4% of nonpositive-margin cells. NeedleBench M-RT at 32k and a RULER 8k check probe support closure under branched retrieval, and a 264-cell sign evaluation separates support recovery and output-value ranking from leverage effects near the boundary. The resulting order is to recover decode-side evidence, rank its output value, and preserve coupled evidence during projection.

Aegis: Automated Error Generation and Attribution for Multi-Agent Systems

Large language model based multi-agent systems (MAS) have unlocked significant advancements in tackling complex problems, but their increasing capability introduces a structural fragility that makes them difficult to debug. A key obstacle to improving their reliability is the severe scarcity of large-scale, diverse datasets for error attribution, as existing resources rely on costly and unscalable manual annotation. To address this bottleneck, we introduce Aegis, a novel framework for Automated error generation and attribution for multi-agent systems. Aegis constructs a large dataset of 9,533 trajectories with annotated faulty agents and error modes, covering diverse MAS architectures and task domains. This is achieved using a LLM-based manipulator that can adaptively inject context-aware errors into successful execution trajectories. Leveraging fine-grained labels and the structured arrangement of positive-negative sample pairs, Aegis supports three different learning paradigms: Supervised Fine-Tuning, Reinforcement Learning, and Contrastive Learning. We develop learning methods for each paradigm. Comprehensive experiments show that trained models consistently achieve substantial improvements in error attribution. Notably, several of our fine-tuned LLMs demonstrate performance competitive with or superior to proprietary models an order of magnitude larger, validating our automated data generation framework as a crucial resource for developing more robust and interpretable multi-agent systems.
