MemGuard: Persisting Verifier Signals for LLM-Agent Memory Governance
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.21867v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents are moving from single-prompt use to long task streams in which reusable memory becomes a core capability for terminal, software-engineering, and web tasks. Such memory is useful only when stored experience remains reliable across hundreds of interactions, but two failure modes break that assumption in practice. The first is unreliable admission: failed trajectories,accidental successes, and misleading observations enter memory because they appear relevant, then mislead later decisions. The second is memory drift: long-running banks ac
