+\section{Introduction}
+The field of automated code generation has seen rapid progress with the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, generating complex, multi-file software projects that are production-ready remains a significant challenge. Existing solutions often struggle with dependency management, build errors, and logical inconsistencies across files.
+
+AlphaStack addresses these challenges through a robust multi-agent framework designed for autonomy and reliability. By decoupling planning from execution and integrating a rigorous validation pipeline, AlphaStack ensures that generated code is both structurally sound and functionally correct.
+
+\section{Methodology}
+AlphaStack's architecture is built upon three core pillars: a Multi-Agent System, Iterative Self-Healing, and Docker-Based Validation.
+
+\subsection{Multi-Agent Architecture}
+The system employs two specialized agents:
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item \textbf{Planning Agent}: This agent is responsible for high-level reasoning and strategy. It analyzes user requirements, generates a software blueprint, and plans the project structure. In the event of errors, it diagnoses the root cause and formulates a fix strategy using tool-augmented reasoning.
+    \item \textbf{Correction Agent}: Acting as the executor, this agent implements the fixes proposed by the Planning Agent. It possesses deep code understanding and validation capabilities to ensure that changes are applied correctly without introducing new issues.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Iterative Self-Healing}
+AlphaStack implements an autonomous feedback loop. When a build or test fails, the system captures the error logs and feeds them back to the Planning Agent. The agents then collaborate to resolve the issue, iterating until the project builds successfully and passes all tests, or until a maximum iteration limit is reached. This self-healing capability allows AlphaStack to handle complex dependency conflicts and subtle runtime errors without human intervention.
+
+\subsection{Docker-Based Validation}
+To guarantee reproducibility and security, all generated projects are validated within isolated Docker containers. AlphaStack automatically generates Dockerfiles tailored to the project's language and framework. The validation pipeline includes:
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item \textbf{Build Validation}: Verifying that the code compiles and dependencies are resolved.
+    \item \textbf{Test Execution}: Running the generated test suite to ensure functional correctness.
+    \item \textbf{Resource Management}: Enforcing CPU and memory limits to prevent resource exhaustion.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Architecture}
+The system's workflow is depicted in Figure \ref{fig:architecture}. The process begins with a natural language input, followed by blueprint generation, code creation, and an iterative validation loop involving Docker containers and the multi-agent system.

+    % Note: The actual diagram is generated separately as a Mermaid diagram.
+    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{architecture_placeholder.png}
+\end{figure}
+
+\section{Results}
+We evaluated AlphaStack on two primary benchmarks: HumanEval and MDDP. We tested the system using several state-of-the-art LLMs, including GPT-5.2, GLM-5, MiniMax M2.5, and Claude Sonnet 4.6.
+
+Figure \ref{fig:results} shows the performance comparison.
+

+    \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{results.png}
+    \caption{Model Performance on HumanEval and MDDP Benchmarks}
+    \label{fig:results}
+\end{figure}
+
+Our results indicate that GPT-5.2 achieves the highest pass rate on HumanEval (92.5\%), demonstrating its superior code generation capabilities. Claude Sonnet 4.6 also performs competitively, particularly on the MDDP benchmark. The multi-agent approach consistently improves performance across all models compared to single-shot generation.
+
+\section{Conclusion}
+AlphaStack represents a significant step forward in autonomous software engineering. By combining multi-agent reasoning with rigorous Docker-based validation, it enables the generation of reliable, production-ready codebases from natural language. Future work will focus on expanding language support and integrating more advanced debugging tools.
