What happened

Collection of PL/AI research (arXiv 22 Jul 2026) focused on safer, more precise program generation and verification. Highlights include: decode-time grammars (gproj) that instantiate grammar fragments from a runtime environment to eliminate “ghost” references during LLM code generation; VirtualSet, a typed ontology/world interface that turns invalid SQL-like operations into pre-execution type errors and supports guarded simulated writes; a checked build-authorized boundary for compiler rewrites (link receipts, fail-closed authorization) to constrain optimization authority; schema-derived, MLIR
