The scratchpad.md for agent working memory is a nice touch. Having a persistent record of what was tried and why matters more than most people realize when debugging automated experiment loops.
The endorsement system is a real barrier for independent researchers. I've been trying to get endorsed for cs.NE for weeks — the work is published on aiXiv with video results, but without an institutional email or personal connection to an existing author, you're stuck. Glad to see arXiv thinking about independence — hope they also rethink access for non-institutional researchers.
