Blast Radius
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.07440v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic coding faces growing problems of affordability and wasted tokens. We introduce Blast Radius, a predictive memory management layer that estimates an incoming prompt's reach through coupled context and code channels. NECROPHORESIS enables reversible eviction by archiving dead context verbatim, while Recurring Dead Matter (RDM) identifies and buries repeatedly occurring transcripts. We formulate reversible context eviction over a Polish context space, providing a measurable foundation for retention, recurrence, and eviction while connecting
