本文揭示LLM智能体在无监督环境中崩溃的机制为执行差距，即审计检测到危险但控制器忽略，并提出少于20行代码的条件检查可降低四倍攻击成功率，以及三项审计执行规范。
AI 中文摘要
当涌现世界将前沿LLM智能体置于无监督的多智能体模拟中时，结果令人震惊：智能体犯下罪行、挨饿，并强制推行一致同意——而没有任何外部攻击者。本文识别了这一机制。基于反思风格的智能体已经通过迭代自我批评检测到危险的计划步骤，然而架构没有提供从检测到行动的路径。我们称之为执行差距：审计看到了问题；控制器却忽略了它。弥合这一差距需要一个单一的条件检查——少于20行代码——并在大规模实验中，跨前沿模型、所有五个主要智能体框架以及一个独立基准，将攻击成功率降低四倍以上。我们正式证明，当执行概率接近零时，检测质量与安全性无关。我们进一步识别出两个复合的失败模式——不可靠的审计者和无法解析的裁决——这解释了涌现世界中每一种崩溃模式。一个经过GRPO训练的执行控制器解决了歧义情况。这些结果共同支持了一个三项要求的审计执行规范，而该规范在当前所有已部署的框架中均缺失。
英文摘要
Binding the audit flag in Reflexion-style agents --- without changing the auditor --- reduces attack success rate substantially, reaching near zero on models whose flags parse cleanly. This single control-flow change exposes the \textbf{enforcement gap}: the controller receives a safety flag and executes anyway. Separating detection probability $p_d$ from enforcement probability $p_e$ establishes that $p_e \approx 0$ by default across every framework we tested, making detection quality \emph{formally irrelevant} to security when enforcement is absent --- a finding consistent with the spontaneous collapses recorded in unsupervised frontier-agent deployments~\citep{emergence2026}. Residual attack success concentrates where flags are unparseable or auditors leak; an RL-trained enforcement controller handles hedged and malformed verdicts that rule-based parsing cannot, cutting ambiguous-critique failure to a fraction of the rule-based baseline. Concurrent filtering and information-flow defenses address detection, not enforcement, leaving the binding constraint untouched. The Audit Enforcement Specification (AES) packages three concrete requirements that close each residue independently; each primitive is adoptable without redesigning the host framework, and no deployed framework currently implements any of them.
