These are definitely not an algorithmic optimizations like privatization [1].

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatization_(computer_progra...

To correctly apply privatization one has to have correct dependency analysis. This analysis uses results of many other analyses, for example, value range analysis, something like Fourier-Motzkin algorithm, etc.

So this agentic-optimized compiler has a program where privatization is not applied, what tweaks should agents apply?
