Validator
A component in long-running agent systems that objectively verifies whether execution results satisfy mechanically checkable constraints, producing binary objective judgments. It complements the evaluator's semantic assessments and serves as a reliability anchor for agent behavior.

Feedback from code execution is usually just a pass/fail boolean value, which is too coarse-grained; code similarity cannot be mapped to the final visual output; and verifiers trained for specific tasks lack generalization ability.
Task-specific verifiers typically perform well within their training distribution but quickly fail when switched to a different task category, showing weak generalization ability.
The key insight of the study is that any Earth observation task can be converted into two components: a constraint harness and a verifier; the constraint harness defines the resources, tools, and operations available to the agent; the verifier defines the success criteria.
A study proposes converting any verifiable EO task into a constraint harness and a verifier, allowing general programming agents to recursively build and improve remote sensing models, free from reliance on human experts.
The programming agent decides its next action by reading the feedback signals returned by the verifier (such as classification accuracy, detection mAP, etc.), forming a 'generate-execute-evaluate' loop that achieves recursive self-improvement.
Under this framework, few-shot learning corresponds to the constraint harness restricting the use of only a very small number of labeled samples, while the verifier still uses the standard test set.
Domain adaptation corresponds to the verifier requiring the model to maintain performance on independent data from different sensors or different geographic regions.
The new paradigm proposed by the study can be summarized as: humans design the constraint harness and the verifier, and the agent is responsible for building the model.
The verifier only answers "whether this statement is supported by real evidence," not "whether the evidence belongs to the current feature," which leads to technically correct but completely irrelevant answers.
Under a uniform prior over k-bit answers, if the verifier can only give binary pass/reject feedback on a complete answer, achieving zero-error verification requires 2^k - 1 verifications in the worst case.

A verifier is a standalone judgment program that accepts model-generated code and test results, and outputs a deterministic reward score.
