New research details auditable LLM-based software repair workflow

A new research paper introduces THEMIS, a workflow designed to make the process of repairing software bugs using large language models more transparent and auditable. This system externalizes requirement-to-repair artifacts, creating a semantic interpretation and a runtime requirement-code graph. A retrospective audit of 300 SWE-bench Lite cases showed that THEMIS provides comprehensive developer rationale and audit records, facilitating cross-stage inspection and analysis of repair decisions.

    Externalizing Requirement-to-Repair Artifacts as Observable Traces for LLM-Based Program Repair

    arXiv:2609.14913v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Repository-level repair requires not only correct patches but also inspectable records that explain how issue requirements are translated into code changes and post-edit evidence. We contribute THEMIS, a stage-aware repair workflow …
