The upgrade includes a three-way verification cascade (Accept/Reject/Defer) in the evaluation harness and a four-arm schema ablation to compare different explanation views. Shehab also asks John6666 about handling defer cases and whether the autoresearch-MIL harness could improve the roadmap.", "body_md": "Dear [@John6666](https://discuss.huggingface.co/u/john6666)\n\nI am incredibly grateful to you for taking the time to write out such a detailed, rigorous breakdown. This is exactly the feedback I was hoping for when releasing Agent-ProSAT and the ProSAT dataset.\n\nI genuinely appreciate you diving into the architecture. You’ve essentially provided a blueprint for the next steps and answered questions I was actively wondering how to approach. THANK YOU!\n\nI want to confirm I understand correctly: your core thesis is to decouple the canonical audit record (what is computed) from the training view (how it is explained) as the agent works on `prosat.py`\n\n, right? Given that Agent-ProSAT represents an iterative autoresearch loop where the LLM writes and refines the solver code based on harness feedback, I realize I was making the agent’s job unnecessarily hard. By being obsessed with rigorous determinism, I was forcing it to simultaneously figure out the logic *and* bake in the natural language formatting.\n\n**Here my summary and plan of action through the lens of your comments:**\n\n**Updating Agent Directives:** I will instruct the agent to generate code that strictly outputs a structured `ExecutionWitness`\n\n(JSON events). A separate, non-agentic renderer will handle the Views (A, B, C, D).\n\n**Upgrading the Assessment Loop:** I’ll implement your 3-way verification cascade (Accept / Reject / Defer) in the evaluation harness to save token overhead and avoid forcing binary decisions on ambiguous cases.\n\n**Four-Arm Schema Ablation:** Once the agent generates the JSON-emitting solvers, I’ll run the empirical ablation on the four views and track the generator-to-evaluation lineage in a manifest.\n\n**Two quick questions for you on the verification cascade:**\n\nWhen you hit a “Defer” case (e.g., multiple rules fit the demonstrations), do you route that to a stronger LLM dynamically during the run, or queue them up for an offline/human review batch?\n\nDo you think a harness like my earlier work (autoresearch-MIL: [GitHub - habanwer/autoresearch-MIL: AI agents running research on single-GPU nanochat training automatically · GitHub](https://github.com/habanwer/autoresearch-MIL) ) would improve the aforementioned roadmap?\n\nThanks again for the fantastic insights and pointing me toward the *Code Execution as Grounded Supervision* and *Think Like You Execute* precedents. I’m going to start building out the JSON audit schema and the 3-way verification cascade around the next week.\n\nI’ll update the thread once the first ablation results are in!\n\nBest,\n\nShehab", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agent-prosat-for-cot-via-verifiable-programmatic-solver-coding-for-cot-synthesis", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/agent-prosat-for-cot-via-verifiable-programmatic-solver-coding-for-cot-synthesis-feedback-appreciated/177992#post_3", "published_at": "2026-07-22 18:35:18+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-22 18:35:42.985900+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-research", "ai-agents", "large-language-models", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Agent-ProSAT", "John6666", "Shehab", "ProSAT dataset", "autoresearch-MIL", "GitHub", "ExecutionWitness"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agent-prosat-for-cot-via-verifiable-programmatic-solver-coding-for-cot-synthesis", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agent-prosat-for-cot-via-verifiable-programmatic-solver-coding-for-cot-synthesis.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agent-prosat-for-cot-via-verifiable-programmatic-solver-coding-for-cot-synthesis.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agent-prosat-for-cot-via-verifiable-programmatic-solver-coding-for-cot-synthesis.jsonld"}}
