让自演化智能体在安全约束下持续改进，避免自我欺骗。

Self-evolving agents violate the assumption behind most learning-theoretic guarantees: the data, evaluator, components, and hypothesis space are produced by the policy being updated. We present \textbf{SEA}, an architecture that confines self-modification to a small steering adapter and a versioned harness around a \emph{frozen} base model and admits each modification only through an anytime-valid gate that emits an auditable certificate against a fixed error budget. Five loop controllers compose published guarantees; because such gates can only \emph{select} among behaviors the frozen base already produces, five verifier-in-the-loop mechanisms -- best-of-$N$, micro-step search, self-authored reproduction oracles, search-layer control, and self-repair -- supply the dense, grader-free signal the gates require, computed from the issue text alone. On a $52$-instance SWE-bench Verified subset across four base models, base capability is the dominant, confound-free effect, and on two strong base models a deliberate no-op-composite control isolates the suite's contribution at $+4$ and $+5$ (\textsc{Glm}~5.2 $24\to28$; \textsc{Gpt} $29\to34$, the $65\%$ best), with event logs confirming that its mechanisms fire and prevent regressions. Results are single-run on expensive evaluations; confirming run-to-run variance and adapting the per-task algorithm mix are future work.
