ChainClaw: A Layered Agent Framework for Reliable On-Chain Execution

General-purpose large language model agents have achieved strong performance on tool-augmented tasks, yet they rely on assumptions break down in blockchain environments. On-chain execution is stateful, adversarial, and economically irreversible, exposing three fundamental gaps: Reactivity, Irreversibility, and Observability. We propose ChainClaw, a blockchain-native agent framework built on OpenClaw, that addresses all three gaps through a layered architecture comprising an event-driven orchestration layer, a simulation-based safety intelligence layer, and an on-chain monitoring runtime layer, unified by a cross-layer memory subsystem. ChainClaw closes the Reactivity gap via event ingestion and simulation feedback, the Irreversibility gap via a pre-execution safety pipeline with transaction simulation and action guard, and the Observability gap via an on-chain read adapter and transaction monitor. We evaluate ChainClaw on a purpose-built benchmark covering seven tasks across four categories and five dimensions. ChainClaw consistently outperforms representative baselines on both safety and task completion.

Unpaired Modality-Agnostic Generative Recommendation

Generative Recommendation (GR) formulates recommendation as autoregressive generation over discrete semantic identifiers (IDs). Although recent multimodal GR methods improve semantic ID construction with visual and textual information, they typically require item-level paired observations, restricting tokenization to the intersection of modality availability. Moreover, incorporating unpaired observations is nontrivial because small representation shifts may cross quantization boundaries and produce incompatible identifier sequences. To address this challenge, we propose \textbf{Unpair}ed Modality-Agnostic \textbf{G}enerative \textbf{R}ecommendation (UnpairGR), which learns a unified semantic-ID space from paired, image-only, and text-only observations. UnpairGR confines modality-specific processing to lightweight input projections while sharing the subsequent Transformer and residual codebooks across all observation conditions. Paired observations establish a reliability-guided cross-modal consensus, whereas unimodal observations directly refine the same representations and codes. The learned tokenizer is then fixed to provide stationary targets for a single autoregressive recommender, without feature imputation, modality-specific codebooks, or fallback mappings. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that UnpairGR consistently improves recommendation performance under both fully observed and incomplete-observation settings.

Requirement--Evidence Alignment for Compositional E-Commerce Queries

Compositional e-commerce queries express multiple requirements that must hold jointly, yet existing rerankers collapse these constraints into aggregate relevance and often promote topical near misses over feasible products. In this paper, we introduce REAlign, a novel requirement-evidence-aligned reranking framework that explicitly connects typed query requirements with visible evidence. REAlign distinguishes satisfied, violated, and unsupported conditions, constructs requirement-targeted contrasts that expose failure modes, and optimizes duplicate-free partial rankings through Requirement-Aware Group-Relative Policy Optimization. Its list utility preserves relevance while incorporating requirement satisfaction, evidence support, material violations, and output validity. Experiments on two fixed-pool e-commerce benchmarks show consistent improvements over strong supervised and policy-optimization baselines under matched training budgets, with fewer violations among top-ranked candidates and larger gains at shallow ranks. Controlled ablations confirm the complementary value of requirement modeling, evidence grounding, and decomposed optimization.

State Beyond Appearance: Diagnosing and Improving State Consistency in Dial-Based Measurement Reading

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved impressive progress on general multimodal tasks, yet they remain brittle on dial-based measurement reading. In this paper, we study this problem through controlled benchmarks and feature-space probing, and show that current MLLMs not only achieve unsatisfactory accuracy on dial-based readout, but also suffer sharp performance drops under viewpoint and illumination changes even when the underlying dial state remains fixed. Our probing analysis further reveals that same-state samples under appearance variation are not consistently clustered, while neighboring states fail to preserve the local structure implied by continuous dial values. These findings suggest that existing MLLMs largely ignore the intrinsic state geometry of dial measurement tasks and instead rely on superficial appearance cues. Motivated by this diagnosis, we propose TriSCA, a tri-level state-consistent alignment framework for dial-based measurement reading. Specifically, TriSCA consists of state-distance-aware representation alignment, metadata-grounded observation-to-state supervision, and state-aware objective alignment. Extensive ablation studies and evaluation experiments on controlled clock and gauge benchmarks, together with evaluation on an external real-world benchmark, demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Mosaic: Multimodal Jailbreak against Closed-Source VLMs via Multi-View Ensemble Optimization

Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are powerful but remain vulnerable to multimodal jailbreak attacks. Existing attacks mainly rely on either explicit visual prompt attacks or gradient-based adversarial optimization. While the former is easier to detect, the latter produces subtle perturbations that are less perceptible, but is usually optimized and evaluated under homogeneous open-source surrogate-target settings, leaving its effectiveness on commercial closed-source VLMs under heterogeneous settings unclear. To examine this issue, we study different surrogate-target settings and observe a consistent gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous settings, a phenomenon we term surrogate dependency. Motivated by this finding, we propose Mosaic, a Multi-view ensemble optimization framework for multimodal jailbreak against closed-source VLMs, which alleviates surrogate dependency under heterogeneous surrogate-target settings by reducing over-reliance on any single surrogate model and visual view. Specifically, Mosaic incorporates three core components: a Text-Side Transformation module, which perturbs refusal-sensitive lexical patterns; a Multi-View Image Optimization module, which updates perturbations under diverse cropped views to avoid overfitting to a single visual view; and a Surrogate Ensemble Guidance module, which aggregates optimization signals from multiple surrogate VLMs to reduce surrogate-specific bias. Extensive experiments on safety benchmarks demonstrate that Mosaic achieves state-of-the-art Attack Success Rate and Average Toxicity against commercial closed-source VLMs.

You Only Anonymize What Is Not Intent-Relevant: Suppressing Non-Intent Privacy Evidence

Anonymizing sensitive information in user text is essential for privacy, yet existing methods often apply uniform treatment across attributes, which can conflict with communicative intent and obscure necessary information. This is particularly problematic when personal attributes are integral to expressive or pragmatic goals. The central challenge lies in determining which attributes to protect, and to what extent, while preserving semantic and pragmatic functions. We propose IntentAnony, a utility-preserving anonymization approach that performs intent-conditioned exposure control. IntentAnony models pragmatic intent and constructs privacy inference evidence chains to capture how distributed cues support attribute inference. Conditioned on intent, it assigns each attribute an exposure budget and selectively suppresses non-intent inference pathways while preserving intent-relevant content, semantic structure, affective nuance, and interactional function. We evaluate IntentAnony using privacy inference success rates, text utility metrics, and human evaluation. The results show an approximately 30% improvement in the overall privacy--utility trade-off, with notably stronger usability of anonymized text compared to prior state-of-the-art methods. Our code is available at https://github.com/Nevaeh7/IntentAnony.

Burger: Robust Graph Denoising-augmentation Fusion and Multi-semantic Modeling in Social Recommendation

In the era of rapid development of social media, social recommendation systems as hybrid recommendation systems have been widely applied. Existing methods capture interest similarity between users to filter out interest-irrelevant relations in social networks that inevitably decrease recommendation accuracy, however, limited research has a focus on the mutual influence of semantic information between the social network and the user-item interaction network for further improving social recommendation. To address these issues, we introduce a social \underline{r}ecommendation model with ro\underline{bu}st g\underline{r}aph denoisin\underline{g}-augmentation fusion and multi-s\underline{e}mantic Modeling(Burger). Specifically, we firstly propose to construct a social tensor in order to smooth the training process of the model. Then, a graph convolutional network and a tensor convolutional network are employed to capture user's item preference and social preference, respectively. Considering the different semantic information in the user-item interaction network and the social network, a bi-semantic coordination loss is proposed to model the mutual influence of semantic information. To alleviate the interference of interest-irrelevant relations on multi-semantic modeling, we further use Bayesian posterior probability to mine potential social relations to replace social noise. Finally, the sliding window mechanism is utilized to update the social tensor as the input for the next iteration. Extensive experiments on three real datasets show Burger has a superior performance compared with the state-of-the-art models.
