CORVUS Attacks the Coding Agent's Real Bottleneck: an Append-Only Trajectory That Bloats Context

The method restructures how agents accumulate reasoning, tool calls, and results, targeting the context growth that makes long agent runs slow and expensive.

A paper called CORVUS targets a structural weakness in how large language model coding agents work. Today's agents build a trajectory that appends every reasoning step, tool call, and result in order. That append-only design ties context gr…
