Driving GEMINI-CLI, it reaches 32.3% higher line coverage and 30.9% higher branch coverage than the agent on its own, and it learns a different policy when the same setup drives CLAUDE CODE. | <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.08983"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/arXiv-2607.08983-b31b1b.svg" alt="arXiv" /></a> |
