arXiv:2608.15565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Experience-learning agents for optimization modeling improve by storing verified skills, but existing learners admit knowledge by checking against known answers, which real ticket streams do not provide. The natural label-free alternatives are unreliable: on a 300-problem label-blind stream, admitting every executable model poisons roughly one admission in four, while single-instance agreement accepts models that match at one value but differ elsewhere. We propose AdmitOR, an admission gate built on calibrated external behavioral evidence. Candidates from three model families, prompting strategies, and solver stacks are run on instances resampled from an extracted parameter domain; agreement across the resulting value-function traces is summarized by a cross-family clique, and a calibrated threshold returns accept, abstain, or escalate. The preregistered false-discovery criterion holds on calibration data but not on the wild stream. We report this negative result in full and trace most failures to benchmark texts that do not faithfully encode their labeled instances. Comparing four admission judges on one collection of logs inside a state-of-the-art skill learner, AdmitOR raises admission precision to 0.927, against 0.871 for majority vote and 0.726 for execution success, yielding 3.1x and 8.0x fewer poisoned admissions. Its library is the smallest and attains the highest macro accuracy across five public benchmarks, 58.4 against 54.8 for majority vote and 53.9 for the ground-truth-labeled library. The 3.5-point gain over …
