arXiv:2606.27045v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI coding agents dramatically accelerate implementation speed but introduce two structural failure modes that existing spec-driven approaches do not fully solve: (1) context explosion -- the agent must reason over an entire repository at once, degrading output quality as the context window fills; and (2) silent spec-code drift -- code evolves, the specification does not, and the divergence becomes invisible until it is costly to repair. We present the Spec Growth Engine, a lightweight framework that addresses both failure modes through
