KAIST's RunningTab keeps a task ledger outside the agent's context so read facts stop going missing
The environment, not the model, logs every file a terminal agent reads, tracks listed-but-unopened files, and blocks the first finish while requirements are still open; the authors found about one in five values an agent had already seen never made it into the deliverable. With the same Pi-based harness it beat plain direct-workspace agents and model-kept TODO lists on Workspace-Bench, TheAgentCompany, and OfficeQA Pro, lifting Gemini 3.8 Flash's Workspace-Bench pass rate from 31.4% to 46.9%.
