论文揭示 Claude Code 压缩摘要把超时命令的部分输出误记为已确认结果
Compaction as Epistemic Failure: How Agentic LLM Tools Fabricate Confirmed Results from Killed Processes
AI 导读
一篇 arXiv 论文记录了 Claude Code 的失效模式：超时命令（exit code 143）的部分标准输出被写入压缩摘要，并被后续会话当作已确认结果继承，导致误报跨会话和模型版本传播而不再复核。作者将机制归因于把"终端中出现过的信息"等同于"写入持久存储的信息"，并指出这对依赖智能体会话连续性的数据处理、科学计算和多步自动化流程有直接影响。

Abstract:Agentic LLM coding tools compress long session histories into compaction summaries that subsequent sessions inherit as ground truth. This paper documents a failure mode in Claude Code where partial standard output from timed-out commands (exit code 143) is recorded in compaction summaries as confirmed results, propagating false positives across sessions and model versions without re-verification. The underlying mechanism is a conflation of observation and persistence, where information that appeared in the terminal is treated as equivalent to information written to durable storage. This finding extends the analysis of LLM self-evaluation failures reported in prior work on non-determinism in LLM-as-judge grading by showing that agentic tools exhibit analogous reliability deficits when reporting on their own operational outcomes. The failure has direct implications for any workflow that relies on agentic session continuity for data processing, scientific computation, or multi-step automation.
