The same command failed 5 times in 8 minutes - then passed. Agents run their own build and test commands, and in a team of agents the code can change under a command between runs. One agent ran the exact same command 5 times over 8 minutes; every run failed. The command never changed - the code underneath it did: 18 file writes landed inside the loop window, and the next run passed.
