失敗経路を信頼できるLLMエージェントへ：ハーネスの欠陥診断と修復

LLM-based agents increasingly rely on harnesses that provide execution environments, tool interfaces, context, lifecycle orchestration, observability, verification, and governance. Existing self-improving agents and automatic harness evolution methods mainly improve agents through runtime supervision, prompt optimization, workflow search, or harness modification based on final outcomes. However, they often fail to diagnose where the responsible evidence lies in failed trajectories and which harness layer causes the unreliable behavior, resulting in broad, indirect, or poorly scoped changes. This paper proposes HarnessFix, a trace-guided framework for diagnosing agent failures and repairing agent harnesses. HarnessFix compiles raw execution traces and harness code into a Harness-aware Trace Intermediate Representation (HTIR), which normalizes fragmented trajectory evidence and captures step-level provenance and control-flow relations. It then attributes failures to responsible trajectory steps and harness layers, consolidates recurring diagnoses into actionable flaw records, and maps them to scoped repair operators. Finally, HarnessFix generates and validates harness patches under flaw-specific repair specifications to reduce target flaws without introducing unacceptable regressions. We evaluate HarnessFix on SWE-Bench Verified, Terminal-Bench 2.0 Verified, GAIA and AppWorld. Across these benchmarks, HarnessFix improves held-out test performance over the initial harnesses by 15.2%--50.0%, outperforms human-designed and self-evolution baselines, and reveals recurring harness-flaw patterns across ETCLOVG layers.
