JevCoder: When Does Decision Delegation Pay Off in Code Repair?

A coding agent repeatedly makes decisions as it repairs code.

Key points

  • These decisions shape repair trajectories and affect the token cost of successive model requests.
  • We ask which repair decisions can be delegated to a low-cost probabilistic judge to reduce token use while maintaining repair quality.
  • We evaluate judgment quality across repair stages and test how individual interventions change subsequent repair work.
  • Based on these studies, we propose JevCoder, a workflow built around Jev, a low-cost probabilistic judge.
