Beyond the 'Diff': Addressing Agentic Entropy in Agentic Software Development

arXiv:2604.16323v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As autonomous coding agents become deeply embedded in software development workflows, their high operational velocity introduces a critical oversight challenge: the accumulating divergence between agentic actions and architectural intent. We term this process agentic entropy: a systemic drift that traditional code diff-based and HCXAI methods fail to capture, as they address local outputs rather than global agentic behaviour. To close this gap, w
