arXiv:2610.22192v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Converting verifier outcomes into useful policy updates and partial progress into complete task resolution is crucial for terminal agents. We present Terminal-RSI, which alternates Recursive Self-Rewrite (RSR) of verified trajectories with critic-inheriting Recursive Policy-Refine (RPR). We formulate Turn-Boundary Skip-Observation GAE (TB-GAE) to retain token-specific baselines while applying decay across interaction turns. Family Dense Reward (FDR) calibrates semantic progress across task families; Success-Prioritized Reward (SPR) separates stri
