Do Not Restart: Residual Completion for Stateful Agent Handoffs

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 12, 2026 · UTC

Routing and cascades reduce tool-agent cost by transferring control across models, but stateful handoffs must preserve accepted choices, realized effects, and unfinished obligations. We formulate this as commitment-constrained residual completion and introduce Commitment-Frontier Residual Completion (CFRC). CFRC enforces target-before-proposal, whole-proposal-before-authority, and live-evidence-before-success: it freezes a residual contract from accepted progress, closes the successor continuation into an evidence-linked graph, and admits execution only when the remainder is covered, with live
