What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled agents to tackle long-horizon tasks across diverse environments. To further improve agent performance, existing language world models typically predict environment observations, yet reconstructing high-entropy, execution-dependent tool responses offers limited value when real feedback is available. Meanwhile, agents suffer from \emph{task-state contamination}, where unsupported assumptions and outdated plans persist in history and distort subsequent decisions. We propose the \textbf{Agent-Editing World Model (AEWM)}, which models how reasoning and actions shape future task progress rather than simulating tool responses. AEWM combines \textbf{Action Judge} to distinguish \textsc{Critical}, \textsc{Exploratory}, and \textsc{Noisy} decisions with \textbf{State Revision} to edit noisy reasoning--action continuations from the same observed history. \textbf{EditAct} integrates these capabilities with real execution, directly changing the state underlying subsequent decisions rather than merely providing critiques. We train AEWM across Search, Terminal, and Software Engineering through mid-training and supervised fine-tuning. AEWM achieves 70.5\% macro-F1 on our Action Judge benchmark, exceeding the strongest frontier baseline by 10.6 points. Across six benchmarks and three agent backbones, EditAct improves average scores by 3.2--6.7 points over the strongest baseline. Furthermore, rejection sampling fine-tuning on verified EditAct trajectories, termed \textbf{AEWM-RFT}, improves over Self-RFT by 2.2--2.6 points across three domains without online AEWM guidance.
