Organizations often develop and maintain portfolios of related applications: independently deployable codebases that share substantial domain logic, interface patterns, or operational conventions. As LLM coding agents are increasingly used to generate and maintain such software, a naive application-by-application workflow duplicates shared logic across codebases and allows prolonged agentic maintenance to accumulate verbosity, dead code, and structural erosion. We introduce the Super Library Agent problem, where an agent sequentially generates a portfolio of N related applications while maintaining a shared Super Library of reusable cross-application components. A minimal sequential scaffold can in principle extract shared code and migrate applications to the evolving library, but in practice suffers from low extraction recall and fragile dependency migration. We address these failures with candidate-guided extraction over code chunk summaries, pre-extraction codebase consolidation, and context-aware migration using extraction traces and call-graph information. Across WebGen-Bench and PaperBench, our method preserves application functionality while significantly reducing redundancy and token footprint (verbosity, token length) over zero-shot, and avoiding the structural erosion introduced by naive library construction, with additional reductions in LOC and MDL.

Training long-horizon LLM agents with reinforcement learning is challenging because sparse outcome rewards reveal whether a task succeeds, but not which intermediate actions caused the outcome or how they should be corrected. Recent methods alleviate this issue by generating rewards or textual hints from turn-level action-output signals, or by using feedback-conditioned self-distillation. However, generating feedback at every turn is inefficient when many intermediate turns are already successful or neutral, and applying feedback at a fixed or misaligned turn often fails to supervise the actions that contributed to the failure. To bridge this gap, we propose HINT-SD, a targeted self-distillation framework that uses full-trajectory hindsight to select failure-relevant actions and applies feedback-conditioned distillation only to targeted action spans. Experiments on BFCL v3 and AppWorld show that our method outperforms the dense per-turn feedback baseline by up to 13.60 percentage points on average while achieving a 2.26× reduction in time per training step, suggesting that selecting where to distill is key to effective and efficient long-horizon agent training.

While prior red-teaming efforts have focused on eliciting harmful text outputs from large language models (LLMs), such approaches fail to capture agent-specific vulnerabilities that emerge through multi-step tool execution, particularly in rapidly growing ecosystems such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP). To address this gap, we propose a trajectory-aware evolutionary search method, T-MAP, which leverages execution trajectories to guide the discovery of adversarial prompts. Our approach enables the automatic generation of attacks that not only bypass safety guardrails but also reliably realize harmful objectives through actual tool interactions. Empirical evaluations across diverse MCP environments demonstrate that T-MAP substantially outperforms baselines in attack realization rate (ARR) and remains effective against frontier models, including GPT-5.2, Gemini-3-Pro, Qwen3.5, and GLM-5, thereby revealing previously underexplored vulnerabilities in autonomous LLM agents.
