RAT: RunAnyThing via Fully Automated Environment Configuration
Quick summary
arXiv:2604.23190v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automating repository-level software engineering tasks is a foundational challenge for autonomous code agents, largely due to the difficulty of configuring executable environments. However, manual configuration remains a labor-intensive bottleneck, necessitating a transition toward fully automated environment configuration. Existing approaches often rely on pre-defined artifacts or are restricted to specific programming languages, limiting their applicability to diverse real-world repositories. In this paper, we first propose RAT (RunAn

Why it matters
The value of this work lies as much in how it was tested as in the claim itself. Sample design, baselines, uncertainty and replication help separate a laboratory result from real-world impact.
