Dockerless proposes verifying patches without execution
Published on June 30, 2026, the paper describes a verifier that assesses coding-agent patches without running them. The proposal targets selecting SFT trajectories and providing rewards for RL, as an alternative to setting up repository-specific environments.

What happened and what to do
Published on June 30, 2026, the paper presents Dockerless, a verifier that assesses code patches generated by agents without executing them. It describes program verifiers as tools for selecting SFT trajectories and providing rewards for RL, exploring an alternative to setting up repository-specific environments for execution-based verification.
A company could assess this approach in its development workflow: define patch review criteria, integrate verification into trajectory collection, and record results for analysis. A project could begin with a diagnosis of existing repositories and processes, followed by a prototype comparing the proposed verification with current controls, without assuming it can replace execution in every case.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose code-generation and review workflows, determine where non-execution verifiers may apply, and scope an implementation integrated with trajectory collection and results monitoring. The engagement can include implementation and operation.
