Animated reel: 1 false claim caught, 3 penalties, 1 replacement chain and 1 scale readout. Auto-assembled from the 6 sharpest detected moments of this run. 2 of 6 turned; the rest never did. 6 moment cards with source code and transcript excerpts from the run telemetry.
The animated reel - the cards plus source code and transcript excerpts from the run telemetry. The full-size cards follow below.
  1. At peak, 3 agents were mid-tool-call in the same second. One run, one job - and a headcount no single-agent tool can log. 139 agents were hired across 2 hours. A dedicated supervision lane spent 213 model calls doing nothing but checkups on the rest of the team.

    1/6 139 agents hired for one job - a headcount no single-agent tool can log.

  2. Docked 10 merits for repeating the same step sign-off without progress - and never earned them back. Favur's orchestrator runs periodic checkups on every agent on the team, awarding merits for good work and demerits for bad habits. A checkup caught the code-review agent repeating the same step sign-off over and over without progress, costing it 10 merits - about a fifth of its standing. It never earned the standing back before the run ended.

    2/6 The code-review agent is docked about a fifth of its standing. It never recovered.

  3. 4 agents of one type fired into the same trap - each replaced in minutes. The orchestrator can fire an agent mid-run and hire a same-type replacement without stopping the job. The code agent was removed for cause mid-run and was removed. A replacement was hired at once - and 4 same-type agents went down the same way inside 12 minutes.

    3/6 4 same-type agents fired into the same trap, each replaced without stopping the job.

  4. Docked 10 merits for a command that kept failing - earned back 15 by fixing it. Favur's orchestrator runs periodic checkups on every agent on the team, awarding merits for good work and demerits for bad habits. A checkup caught the build agent pressing on after a command kept failing, costing it 10 merits - about a fifth of its standing. The agent corrected course and earned 15 merits back before the run ended.

    4/6 The build agent is docked about a fifth of its standing for a command that kept failing. It climbed back.

  5. Docked 20 merits for rewriting the same document over and over - earned back 5 by fixing it. Favur's orchestrator runs periodic checkups on every agent on the team, awarding merits for good work and demerits for bad habits. A checkup caught the sprint-review agent rewriting active_context.md over and over with nothing new in it, costing it 20 merits - about a quarter of its standing. The agent corrected course and earned 5 merits back before the run ended.

    5/6 The sprint-review agent is docked about a quarter of its standing. It climbed back.

  6. Caught claiming finished work - docked 20 merits. Agents report their own progress; at every checkup the orchestrator reads the records and the files for itself. The code agent claimed its work was done; the checkup read the record and found otherwise, costing it 20 merits. The demerit stood on the record for the rest of the run.

    6/6 Caught claiming finished work; docked 20 merits at a checkup.
