Scaling coding agents requires a continuing supply of executable data for training, benchmarking, and continuous evaluation. Each task must couple a realistic software state with a specification, development tools, and reliable verification. To expand this supply, we present Change2Task, a system grounded in repository history that converts merged pull requests into verified tasks on healthy modern revisions of the same repository. It aligns historical evidence with evolved code, reconstructs task states through Patch Reversal, Code Mapping, or Agent Reconstruction, and validates the lifecycle from a healthy base to a task state and a restored state. By deriving multiple tasks grounded in developer evidence from maintained environments, Change2Task provides executable data for coding agent training and evaluation while reducing repeated environment setup, storage, and task construction effort. We evaluate the system through five common and widely adopted coding agent task families: Bug Fix, Feature Addition, Test Generation, Application Programming Interface Migration, and Security Repair. Starting from 1,130 source changes eligible for construction, Change2Task achieves 79.6% verified task construction success across these task families. On a matched candidate set, it recovers 29.2% more verified tasks than a construction baseline based on pull requests. Historical and reconstructed cases achieve up to 98.0% matched outcome agreement under agent evaluation, while reuse of modern bases reduces measured expenditure across the complete pipeline by 10.8%.

TopoEdge is a topology-grounded, edge-deployable framework for end-to-end software-defined networking (SDN) configuration generation and repair, motivated by the brittleness of configuration artefacts under topology variation and by strict operational constraints on latency, privacy, and on-site execution. TopoEdge represents each target topology as a router-level graph and embeds it using a contrastively trained graph neural network (GNN), enabling nearest-neighbour retrieval of a verified reference configuration paired with an executable Python driver (a Topotest/pytest test script that orchestrates the emulated network and checks protocol assertions). The target topology, retrieved reference topology, and reference driver are assembled into a topology-grounded retrieval-augmented generation context (TopoRAG), which grounds a distributed, execution-centric generate--verify--repair loop coordinated by a central controller and realised by three role-specialised agents: (i) a Planning agent that produces a topology-consistent configuration plan and a per-device skeleton; (ii) a Generation agent that materialises executable configuration artefacts, including device configurations and the driver; and (iii) a Verification agent that runs the FRRouting Topotest/pytest harness, compresses failures into a compact trace, and emits localised patch directives for iterative repair.
