BRIDGE: Selective Boundary Repair with Dependency Graph Evidence in Multi-Agent Systems

To address this challenge, we present \method, a verifiable runtime control framework that treats handoff repair as selective intervention over explicit dependency graphs.

Key points

  • Multi-agent collaboration has emerged as a critical paradigm for tackling complex, long-horizon tasks; however, while coordination protocols continue to advance, systemic failures at the inter-agent collaboration interface remain a pervasive bottleneck.
  • In collaborative workflows, systems frequently suffer from broken handoffs---where critical task context is omitted, misrouted, or ignored despite each agent emitting locally plausible responses.
  • Central to \method is an integrated fault-attribution and calibration pipeline, \dataset, which decouples execution dependencies and injects counterfactual handoff perturbations to provide empirical supervision for runtime intervention.
  • Leveraging this diagnostic foundation, \method dynamically compiles observable interaction traces into a provenance graph to pinpoint unresolved dependencies, without accessing private agent states.
