SummaryIntroduces task-state governance, a paradigm that represents a GUI agent task as an editable contract linking desired outcomes, facts to preserve, and observed application state. TaskVM projects live state into editable controls, classifies actions as reversible, compensatable, or irreversible, and verifies outcomes through independent observation. Evaluations report improved contract compliance, recovery control, and user trust.
Why it mattersProposes a concrete governance model for supervising GUI agents via editable task contracts and per-action reversibility labels, filling a real gap in user-facing agent control.
