As Large Language Models (LLMs) evolve into autonomous agents, the need for unified evaluation infrastructure becomes critical. However, current evaluation pipelines remain highly fragmented and tightly coupled, hindering reproducibility and causing redundant engineering. To address this, we introduce AgentCompass, an open-source, lightweight, and extensible infrastructure for evaluating LLM-based agents. AgentCompass organizes the evaluation process around three independent components, namely Benchmark, Harness, and Environment, thereby enabling flexible configurations without requiring the reimplementation of complex execution logic. Furthermore, it features a fault-tolerant asynchronous runtime and comprehensive trajectory analysis tools to transparently diagnose nuanced failure modes like reward-hacking. Natively supporting over 20 benchmarks across five capability dimensions, AgentCompass provides the community with a scalable and reproducible infrastructure for advancing agent research.

Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding (STVG) aims to retrieve the visual trajectory of a specific object from a video stream as described by a natural language expression. However, most advanced methods struggle to balance global context modeling with precise boundary localization. Due to the prohibitive computational costs of processing long videos, these approaches typically resort to low-rate temporal downsampling and implicit motion modeling. This inevitably suppresses high-frequency boundary cues and neglects the explicit inter-frame dependencies required for precise boundary delineation. To address these limitations, we present \textbf{ScanFocus}, a novel coarse-to-fine framework that decouples the STVG task into a global spatio-temporal scan and a local boundary focus. Specifically, we utilize a unified vision-language fusion encoder combined with a lightweight Deformable Semantic-Motion Fusion module to efficiently align multimodal features and generate coarse proposals. To recover the suppressed fine-grained details, we introduce the Semantic-Guided Temporal Aggregator (SGTA) in the refinement stage. By densely sampling around coarse boundaries, SGTA explicitly models short-term temporal interactions under semantic guidance, capturing rapid motion changes for precise timestamp regression. Extensive experiments on three widely used benchmarks demonstrate the performance superiority of our proposed method over previous approaches.
