- Who it helps
- Developers studying long-running tool-using agents.
- Availability
- The October 13 paper is public. Its linked project page could not be read in this review, so implementation availability remains unconfirmed.
How it works
The retained task records are called continuation carriers. The method updates affected records using evidence and environment checks while keeping unaffected records. The authors report results on computer and web tasks.
Check what changes after history is retired
For your own evaluation, record one unfinished task before a history reduction, then change a relevant file. Check whether the resumed agent detects that change before relying on its retained record.
What you can do

Where the evidence stops
Only the abstract was inspected. The reported gains were not reproduced, and recovery from contradictory tools was not independently established.

Coverage note: This bounded review does not establish complete discussion coverage. Broad X search required sign-in. Product execution and independent replication remain unverified.

CarryOn studies how an agent can continue a long task after its conversation history becomes too large. It preserves task records, execution context and a recent conversation tail.
