Replay pairing shows LLM agents do not persist plans in hidden states but rely on plans remaining in context, with rapid signal decay and task performance drops when plans are evicted.

Hidden-state convergence at step 4 predicts behavioral consistency in LLM agents on QA tasks (r=-0.35 to -0.83), enabling AUROC 0.97 detection of inconsistent trajectories but not improving accuracy on harder benchmarks.
ROZA graphs enable self-improving RAG by storing evidence-specific reasoning chains, yielding up to 10.6pp accuracy gains and 46% lower cost through graph traversal feedback.
Agent systems lose uncertainty at decision handoffs, causing downstream over-trust; the paper proposes latent uncertainty as a carrier to preserve pre-commitment fragility across interfaces.
Across 1,140 agent traces, LLM tool-calling agents exhibit high structural consistency (same tools, same order) but high argument variance, and only structural consistency predicts task correctness.
