arXiv:2610.06986v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI research agents are increasingly used to search over programs, mathematical constructions, and proofs. However, existing systems typically optimize evaluator feedback without adequately governing how that feedback is interpreted, challenged, and reused. As a result, promising but fragile candidates can be promoted as discoveries, while benchmark improvements, finite certificates, and theorem-level claims are too easily conflated. We introduce EPOCH, an evidence-governed architecture designed to close this gap. EPOCH implements an evidence-gove
