Animated reel: 1 false claim caught, 1 gate redo, 1 retry loop, 1 art burst, 1 concierge debate and 1 spend spike. Auto-assembled from the 6 sharpest detected moments of this run. None of them ever turned. 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. Caught claiming finished work - docked 10 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 10 merits. The demerit stood on the record for the rest of the run.

    1/6 Caught claiming finished work; docked 10 merits at a checkup.

  2. The run's priciest five minutes - 11.6 times a typical window. Every model call is metered, so a run's spend can be read window by window against its own baseline. For five minutes, 58 model requests from 7 agents landed at once - 11.6 times the run's typical five-minute spend. The burst bought something: the checkup agent finished its job.

    2/6 The priciest five minutes runs 11.6 times the typical window - 7 agents burning at once.

  3. One agent generated 13 images in 2 minutes. An agent can call an image model mid-run when the job needs art it cannot draw itself. The spec agent produced 13 generated images in 2 minutes, one after another. The set landed in the project as files - a coherent batch of assets built to order in one sitting.

    3/6 One agent generates 13 images in a single sitting.

  4. The same command failed 3 times in 4 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 same command, `poetry run mypy src/ --strict`, 3 times over 4 minutes; every run failed. The command never changed - the code underneath it did: 6 file writes landed inside the loop window, and the next run passed.

    4/6 The same command fails 3 times; the code changes under it, and the next run passes.

  5. The concierge argued a product call for 1 round - and locked a rule. A concierge agent wanders the repo full-time, second-guessing product quality nobody asked it to check. It opened a debate and worked through pros, cons and risks over 1 round, pushing back on its own first answer. The debate ended in a locked rule the rest of the team now builds under.

    5/6 The concierge debates a product call for 1 rounds. A rule gets locked.

  6. A quality gate said no - the same agent passed it 2 hours 11 minutes later. Steps end at automated quality gates; work that misses the bar goes back to the agent that produced it, however long the redo takes. The develop agent failed its gate with 0 of 4 criteria met. 2 hours 11 minutes later the same agent brought the work back, and the same gate passed it.

    6/6 A quality gate says no; the same agent redoes the work and the gate passes it.
