ArXiv 2603.17973 introduces a pre-execution gate for coding agents that uses dependency graph traversal to determine which tests are affected by AI-generated changes before execution. Addresses the most persistent production complaint: agents confidently break tests they never ran. A separate TDAD paper (2603.08806) compiles behavioral specifications into executable tests, achieving 92% v1 compilation success with 97% hidden pass rate — systematic prompt engineering with anti-gaming mechanisms including visible/hidden test splits. arXiv
