GitHarness paper: managing agent memory like a Git repo to handle mid-task requirement shifts

A new arXiv paper introduces GitHarness, a pluggable Git-style framework that organizes user requirement states and agent work states into a branchable version history for long-horizon LLM agent collaboration.
- Problem: Users rarely give a full spec upfront — they add, revise, or drop requirements mid-task, and agents either carry obsolete information or turn local revisions into global rewrites.
- Approach: Joint requirement tracking and local update; a trainable Git Agent resolves requirement changes and selects a semantically compatible historical state, then a unified version interface restores that state and creates a new branch, excluding stale info and inheriting compatible work.
- Takeaway: Build versioning (commits/branches) into any agent that takes user feedback.
